I've got this on the backhand side of my andro TIMBER7 off/s. I used to have Inova (max thickness) on there. The topsheet started tearing a lot, so I switched.
I'd previously had Rigan Spin on the forehand side of the TIMBER7 off/s, so I already had a decent amount of trust in Rigan going in.
Actually hitting with it, I found Rigan easier to use on the backhand than the forehand.
The way the sheet really grabs the ball, the sense of security that comes from the good control of the soft sponge, the feel of pushing the ball firmly right where you're aiming — these strengths really come through on the backhand, where the swing tends to be more compact and harder to adjust mid-swing.That said, don't expect much speed. It's a bit lacking even on the forehand, so needless to say it's the same on the backhand.
I don't think it's for people who want to swing hard on the backhand and finish points with smashes or fast drives. It's probably better suited to people like me who use the backhand mainly to keep the rally going.
On the backhand side, even on a 7-ply blade it won't fly too much, so I can recommend it as a first rubber to try on a wood blade.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

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 oneAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use MA LIN EXTRA SPECIAL

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.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

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.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

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 tryAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

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