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.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This rubber really grips the ball. Both the sheet and sponge are soft, so depending on how you use it, you might even get more spin than Tenergy.
That does mean it's more affected by the opponent's spin, so if you don't swing through properly the ball can drop short.
The speed is a bit on the slow side, but since it's a soft rubber the control is super easy.
It's kind of like a control-enhanced version of Rozena, so I think it works from about your second rubber onward.
It has no quirks, so I think it's a model that appeals to everyone.
Hope this helps!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Comparing this to a friend's Factive and GTT.
Spin... Rigan > Factive ≥ GTT
Speed... GTT ≥ Factive > Rigan
Control... Rigan > GTT = Factive
that's roughly how it feels. In actual use, my serves get a lot of spin. Pushes, stops, flicks, chiquita — my receives are all pretty stable. Topspin drives are a bit slower than other rubbers I've tried. I think it's perfect as a second or third rubber. Definitely worth trying once!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Topspin drive: ☆ ☆ ☆
Push: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Serve: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Flick: ☆ ☆ ☆First of all, this isn't a speed-oriented rubber. Because of that, flicks that really cut across the side of the ball are very easy to pull off. It's spin-focused, so both loop drives and chops bite really well. The value for money is good — personally I'd recommend it as around your second rubber, and then switching to something like Rakza or Extend from there.

I have it on my backhand and it makes returning shots really easy. I'm sure some of that is my own effort, but the ball goes in low and sharp so it doesn't get returned much, so I'd recommend it.
There are times it feels a little lacking, but I'm plenty satisfied with itAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

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
