The dragon cane is of a much denser type of rattan and as such is heavier and less flexible. It does, however, pack much more real “punch” than the more common koodoo rattan and is generally the most feared of canes for those who have experienced the effects of both types. The dragon cane really bites into the flesh of the bottom and its effect is much more like a “beating” than a “whacking”. Because the the dragon is not as “swishy” as a normal rattan, it is easier to cane accurately which means that canings with a dragon cane can be extremely severe indeed, if considered appropriate, without too much fear of “stray” strokes” perhaps landing places not intended!
