    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as an entry-level rubber for beginners to intermediate players, featuring excellent control and moderate spin. While lacking speed, it is frequently recommended for backhand use and has established its place as an upgrade rubber.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Superior control performance and easy to use
    • Ideal entry and step-up rubber for beginners to intermediate
    • Especially recommended for backhand application
    • Speed performance is insufficient
    • Good value for money and affordable price
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveFor a tension rubber at this price point, it's truly a game-changer. With soft sheet and sponge, depending on how you use it, you might be able to generate spin that exceeds Tenergy.
    ▽ CriticalFor advanced players and above, the speed is definitely insufficient. Additionally, when applied to a non-bouncy racket, the ball won't fly at all, so caution is necessary.

      I picked up a paddle again for the first time in 20 years, got a new one, and I've been having a lot of fun.
      20 years ago I used Mark V.
      I was looking for a rubber with high control, torn between Katel Soft and Rigan, and went with the latter.
      It has speed, yet the ball goes exactly where I want it to. It feels great.

      First of all, this rubber is incredibly cheap!! You can buy it online for around 2900 yen, so I think it's perfect for beginners to intermediate players.

      The speed is a bit lacking, but compared to rubbers like Rozena, it doesn't fly as far, so I think you can hit good drives that land on the table. It generates spin, so I think anyone can master it. However, I think you'll eventually find the speed and other aspects insufficient as you use it more, so I think it's a good idea to use this rubber for about a year when you first start, and then switch to Rozena, Grazer, Tenergy, Dignics, etc.

      Personally, I think it's a great rubber because of its cost performance and ease of use!!

      It has excellent balance. Among tension strings, it doesn't fly too far and is easy to control, making it suitable for intermediate players looking to improve or those wanting to review the basics. However, I think it will definitely lack speed for intermediate and advanced players.

      For a tension rubber, this price and potential make it a real "game-changer."

      Yasaka has Rakza, but this one holds its own just fine against it.

      Depending on the individual unit it can feel a little on the hard side, but it's still light enough to swing all the way through, so it's fine.

      Total beginner (Experience: Less than a year) The best!

      Reviews by user

      I've got this rubber on my backhand. It was the very first rubber I ever bought, so I was a bit worried, but backspin balls lift up really well on the backhand, and chiquita and backhand drives were super easy to pull off. Honestly, I'd highly recommend it as a first rubber.

    • (Experience: 6〜10 years) A rubber to step up your game

      Reviews by user

      I used the 1.8mm version.

      Both the sheet and sponge are soft, and the sheet itself is pretty insensitive.
      It's well known as a beginner-friendly "spin tension" rubber because it's so easy to handle.

      Because the sheet is insensitive, you can get receives in even without setting the angle very precisely.
      On the other hand, the ceiling on spin and speed is low, and the trajectory tends to be flat.
      Once your topspin drives with this rubber have become stable but keep getting returned, or you feel like you can't hit through your opponent, that's your cue to move on to the next rubber.

      In conclusion, if you're going to use this, it's probably best as your very first rubber.

      You can execute every technique consistently with it.
      I'd recommend it for the backhand side rather than the forehand.
