Yasaka Rigan Spin Inverted Rubber

Rigan's sponge paired with a topsheet that has larger grains

Rigan Spin is a Hybrid Energy-type inverted rubber (a rubber with a flat surface that makes it easy to put spin on the ball) from Yasaka. Its sponge is the RIGAN sponge, with the same hardness as Rigan, and the topsheet has larger grains. It makes spin and power easier to generate, and it suits players who want both stability and spin.

Features

• On Yasaka's own rating scale (Mark V = 10), Speed is 10+, Spin is 13-, and Control is 11-. The hardness is 40-45°.
• The country of production is Germany. You can choose from three thicknesses and two colors.
