    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.

      It's a much better product than you'd expect from the price.

      High-control rubbers can sometimes be too soft,
      but this one doesn't have that problem — it's a medium-hardness rubber.

      That said, it's practically zero effort to handle.
      You get really great shots out of it.

      For beginner-to-intermediate players who've improved and are looking to take the next step,
      I think this could be an outstanding fit.

      It seems like a great example, almost a model rubber, for breaking the assumption that whatever the top players use — like Hurricane, Tenergy, or G1 — must be the best,
      and for realizing that equipment like this can bring out the most out of your game.

      Compare forcing yourself to use an expensive Tenergy for six months while scratching your head,
      versus replacing a brand-new Rigan every three months,
      and think it over.

      I think you'll feel the advantage both economically and in terms of performance!

      I'd been curious about this one for a while, so I bought it.
      The sheet has a translucent look, similar in appearance to the C1.
      The sponge is orange, which looks cool.
      When I hit with it, I got the impression it's fairly soft and easy to use.
      It's kind of like Butterfly's Rozena — the Rigan feels like a more user-friendly version of Rakza.
      It's not that cheap, so it's worth trying out.

      Reviews by user

      Compared to similarly priced rubbers like Vega, Factive, and Fly Att, this one has a slight edge in spin.

      Even experienced players can use it comfortably on their backhand.

      Since it produces a good arc, it's easy to lift backspin balls with your drive,
      and while it's on the softer side, it's not overly mushy — it keeps just the right amount of firmness, so it doesn't lose out against topspin either.

      Pushes also cut nicely. It doesn't bounce much on light hits, so receiving is easy too.

      That said, since the bounce is a bit weak, it's a little tough to put on the forehand with a 5-ply blade.

      A 7-ply blade like the Swat or Allround Classic 7 seems like a better match.

      It's also a good rubber for the backside penhold style.
      Naturally it works for beginners, but it's also good enough for advanced players who are just using it as a "connecting" rubber.

      Black Storm Quality mid-range rubber

      Reviews by user

      It has that classic high-quality rubber sheet feel you'd expect from Yasaka.
      The sheet grips the ball with a nice soft bite, giving it outstanding stability.
      The sponge has good rebound, so the ball flies off comfortably.
      The absolute numbers aren't huge, but it's easy to put spin on, making it great for topspin rallies.
      It has a well-balanced set of performance traits.
      The speed might depend a bit on the blade you use.
      If you're struggling with the ball just not being stable, this is a rubber worth trying at least once.

      It's easy to control and really easy to hit with.
      Speed and spin are decent too.
      I think it's a perfect step up from Mark V.

    • Hikurun [Chinese penhold]

      Hikurun [Chinese penhold] (Experience: 2〜3 years) Recommended for the backside of Chinese penhold!

      Reviews by user

      Used "thick" on the backside of a Chinese penhold blade.
      Control... godly
      Spin... quite a lot for a control-oriented rubber. Easy to lift backspin.
      Speed... just the right speed for control. Not too fast, not too slow, feels great.

      It feels like a rubber that takes something like Rozena or Vega Europe, boosts the control, and drops the other stats just a tiny bit.
      But even so, its performance is more than good enough.
