    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as an entry-level rubber for beginners and intermediate players, offering excellent control and spin at a low price point. The back-face application receives notably higher evaluations than front-face usage.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Superior control and stability make it ideal for novice players
    • Excellent spin generation suitable for serves and loop drives
    • Lightweight and easy to handle, perfect for tension rubber introduction
    • Speed output is insufficient; pairing with hard rackets recommended
    • Back-face application is more recommended than front-face
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveAfter switching from Mark V, spin generation became easier and drive shots stabilized significantly. The soft impact makes it excellent for beginners.
    ▽ CriticalSpeed performance is clearly inadequate, and the ball won't fly properly unless paired with a bouncy racket. Not recommended for front-face applications.

      Motherfucker (Experience: 2〜3 years) This is good

      Reviews by user

      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.

      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.

      Serious beginner (Experience: Less than a year) Awesome!

      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) Step-up rubber

      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.

      whiskey tango (Experience: 2〜3 years) Good shot feel and control

      Reviews by user

      Used on the forehand side (medium thickness). It's moderately soft, with a good feel on contact and good control. Opponents tell me my topspin drives have a lot of spin on them. You can also hit crisp, snappy shots with it. It's also somewhat insensitive to incoming spin, so blocks are stable, and on receives it feels like it goes in even if you just set a rough angle. Overall it's a good rubber.
      Hope this is at least a little helpful.

      Used mainly on the backhand
      I'll write this comparing it to Rigan Spin and Rakza 7.
      ① Weight
      Lighter than Rigan Spin or Rakza
      I'd recommend it to people who want to keep the racket's weight down on the backhand side
      There's individual variation, but for me it changed by about 5 grams
      ② Spin performance
      My impression is that Rigan Spin generates more spin
      *This may partly be a matter of technique, but when you sink the ball deep into the rubber and drive through, it doesn't get all that much spin
      ③ Speed performance
      Since it's softer than Rigan Spin, it feels faster
      ④ Arc
      Fairly flat/direct
      The ball tends to land shallow, so you might get countered a lot・・・
      ⑤ Control
      Soft and easy to use
      The ball tends to land shallow, so it's hard to adjust the depth
      ⑥ Overall
      I think this is a rubber that's quite easy to use overall.
      I'd recommend it to people who are worried about the weight on the backhand side of a penhold, or on a shakehand blade.
      It might be tough to use on the forehand since the spin performance isn't that great, but I think it's a good rubber that beginners and lower-level players can make plenty good use of.
