    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.

      I'm using this on the forehand side of a 7-ply wood blade to rework my whole game.
      It's not fast, but both my topspin drives and blocks are stable.
      The consistency during matches especially stands out, and I've been winning more.
      That said, the short game and pushes tend to run long, so you need to be really careful (part of that is just my lack of skill though...).
      In my case, my serves have gotten shorter and with more spin. On the other hand, my knuckle-ball long serves keep getting smashed because they're not fast enough……
      An intermediate player I know said "what is this rubber... no way...", but for where I'm at right now it feels just right.
      The value for money is good too, so I think it's worth trying at least once.

      Kondo udon powder (Experience: 11〜20 years) Funchy hit feeling

      Reviews by user

      The topsheet is probably exactly the same as GTT — the ball grips well and spins nicely.
      The sponge is different though, so the shot feel changes: GTT flies in a flatter, more direct line, while Rigan produces a bigger arc. The feel is soft too, and it's great and stable for just "getting the ball back on the table," but it doesn't feel suited to hitting through with quick, snappy shots.

      Personally I prefer GTT since it's cheaper and the ball flies straighter.

      I love table tennis (Experience: 6〜10 years) All right

      Reviews by user

      I used it on my backhand side.
      The spin was really great.
      That said, the speed wasn't much.
      The arc is very high, and against backspin it's
      good!

      I tried this on the forehand side as a chopper. It's surprisingly well-balanced, and my chops don't float up. The sponge is soft with a good amount of grip on the ball, so it's easy to control. My chops have decent speed and I feel like I can place them deep on the table. I can also attack even when I'm away from the table, so it seems like a good rubber for choppers who mix offense and defense. That said, the spin is a bit lacking, so I'm hoping the newly released "Rigan Spin" will make up for that.

      If you swing through properly, any ball goes in!
      It's a magic rubber that lets you attack aggressively without mistakes lol

      For beginners to lower-intermediate players who want to build fundamentals while still winning, this is a rubber I'd recommend.

      That said, the ball does tend to get light, unfortunately.
      Going up against a higher-level player might be tough.

    • The

      The (Experience: 11〜20 years) It is a rubber for beginners and weak people

      Reviews by user

      As advertised for beginner-to-intermediate players, it seems to suit 3-5 ply wood blades. It's a hybrid energy-type rubber, but the sheet is soft so the grip is on the weak side, and with a heavy blade the spin feels hard to generate. On the flip side, you can feel good control on light shots. I'm hoping Rigan Spin will bring an improvement in grip.
      [Serve]
      I don't get much of a brushing feeling on backspin serves. It's easy to put on topspin-style wraparound spin, and fake motions are easy to pull off.
      [Push]
      It's hard to cut the ball, so shots tend to run long.
      [Stop]
      It doesn't pick up much spin, so it's easy to stop the ball. But since it's soft, double stops tend to pop up. I feel like a knuckle flick suits the stop better.
      [Topspin drive]
      Easy to grip the ball, so control is high. Unlike a tension rubber, it doesn't grip just by grazing the ball. Even in fast rallies or on counters, you won't get an arc unless you really let the ball sink in. Punching through with one shot is tough.
      [Block]
      If you meet the ball head-on, it's hard to keep the shot low and short. The sponge is also a bit on the soft side, so it's tough to win points off the power of your blocks. I think you'll score more by shifting your axis and pushing a ball coming crosscourt straight down the line instead.

      Monkichi (Experience: 4〜5 years) Is it for beginners?

      Reviews by user

      I used to have this on my backhand.

      I think it's an all-around type that can handle every kind of play.

      The sponge felt a bit too soft for me personally, but I think it's a good rubber for beginners learning technique.
