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.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

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.

Switching over from a modern high-elasticity rubber like Ventus Basic, the first thing I noticed was "it lifts!" The ball just goes up, and the spin comes on steadily too. I think the reason it gets such high praise is that you can feel this quality — clearly a cut above your typical beginner rubber — at such an affordable price. Since it lifts the ball up so consistently, it makes sense that it's recommended for the reverse side of a penhold blade, where shots tend to drop.
I think it's a really good rubber for anyone who wants to stabilize their play in matches. That said, maybe because both the sponge and the sheet are soft, when I rallied on the forehand with a skilled player, even someone as unskilled as me could feel the energy loss. If you're at the level of trading hard shots at the top, you'll probably need something a step above this. Still, as a stepping stone until you get there, I think the performance is more than enough.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I'll say this up front — don't expect much from your serves. But the ball sinks into the rubber just enough on the third-ball chiquita or backhand drive that it's easy to put on spin, so even someone who's not good at the short game will land it if they just swing. That said, while you do get a fair amount of spin, no matter how hard you try to add more, it barely changes. Speed is fine for flat hits, but drive speed also barely changes. It's a rubber that's hard to vary the pace with.
I'd definitely recommend it for beginners.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Really good rubber!
You can't expect much from a fast, one-shot kill drive,
but things like loop drives go in really reliably!
It suits people who want to win points through rallies!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I get why it's rated so highly. It's a rubber with value you wouldn't expect from the low price. People call it a beginner rubber or a second rubber, but that's just not true at all — the performance is on par with something like Rozena. Actually, I find it easier to use than Rozena, the sound of the ball is satisfying, and the ball lifts nicely too. Using it, I never felt stressed with any kind of shot. You'll get it once you try it, but it feels like Rigan sits above Rozena and below Tenergy 64. The ball travels further than I expected.

You can hit without worrying much about the opponent's spin. Serves and drives felt about what you'd expect for the price, but control on hard shots is really easy to manage. It's a bit soft, so it might feel lacking on the forehand, but I'd love for anyone who prioritizes control to try it.
