    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as an entry-level rubber for beginners and intermediate players, with excellent balance of control and spin. Although spin speed is considered insufficient, it is established as a second rubber choice due to great cost-performance and ease of handling.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Superior control performance ideal for beginners
    • Adequate spin performance, especially recommended for backhand
    • Insufficient speed is a weakness requiring careful racket selection
    • Excellent cost-performance positioned as step-up rubber
    • Soft sheet and sponge provide stable ball feel
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe price and potential of this tension rubber are truly game-changing. The balance is excellent, making it suitable for those wanting to level up to intermediate or rebuild basics.
    ▽ CriticalLacks sufficient speed for advanced players. With minimal bounce, it requires a reactive racket. Unsuitable for players wanting to finish points with fast drives.

      This is a rubber I was using recently.
      The value for money is so-so.
      If you're going all-Yasaka (inverted rubber on both sides), I guess the progression would be Mark V → Rigan → Rigan Spin → Rakza 7 → Rakza X... and so on. (Well, that varies from person to person, but I do think going from Mark V to Rigan is a solid move.)
      It clearly carries on the Mark V lineage — control is outstanding and it's easy to use.
      It's faster than Mark V, but I think the spin is a bit weaker. (Though that could partly be down to my own technique.)
      It's not a high-tension rubber, so as something to get you used to a bouncier rubber, it's a really good one

      Mina (Experience: 2〜3 years) Balls go in like crazy

      Reviews by user

      Switching over from Mark V, the first thing I noticed is that it's easy to get spin on the ball. And even though I used to struggle to land my topspin drives, I can land them almost every time now. Smashes are about the same as with Mark V. On the backhand it doesn't go in as much — it takes some power.
      Overall the feel on contact is soft. I think it's good for beginners.

      When people think of Yasaka they think of Mark V, Rakza, and Extend, but personally, if you're starting out with Yasaka, I'd recommend this Rigan along with Extend. Extend bounces quite a bit, so it's good for high schoolers or kids with good athletic ability who are just starting out. Rigan is an easy-to-understand rubber — it flies if you swing through it properly, and it stays put if you just tap the ball — so girls can swing it without any problem, and for girls who like to play aggressively, I think it can add consistency on top of a wide range of techniques.

      Starting out with this rubber might be a good idea. I get the light-tension feel it has.
      Good price, good grip on the ball from the topsheet, good spin.
      The speed can't be helped, but it has very few quirks.
      I'd recommend it as a second rubber for junior high students and up.

      Dobuzoo Glad I bought it

      Reviews by user

      I think this is a rubber for beginner to intermediate players.
      I bought it because I wanted to try a "hybrid energy" type rubber.
      The control is good and it generates spin too.
      The speed is plenty for me!
      With hybrid energy rubbers, the power changes a lot depending on how hard you hit the ball.
      Because of that, the short game is easy to play too,
      and above all, I can really feel my own skills improving!!
      I'd really recommend this rubber to beginner/intermediate players who want to get stronger.
      Please give it a try

      In today's table tennis where tension rubbers are the norm, starting out with this rubber might actually be a good idea.

      It's very easy to control.
      It also generates a decent amount of spin.
      As for speed, I think that could be solved by putting it on an outer-carbon blade or a 7-ply wood blade.
