    In Rakza 7 Soft the top sheet is the same as for Rakza 7. The sponge is softer which gives the rubber more sound and built-in speed glue effect. With Rakza 7 Soft the control characteristics are improved. After hitting the ball with top spin the curve of the ball is slightly higher, giving little bit bigger margins in the game. In the short return play, the ball feel is better.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a versatile rubber for beginners and intermediate players, featuring a soft touch and excellent control. However, it falls short in speed and maximum spin compared to harder rubbers, with preferences varying depending on playing style and skill level.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Soft touch makes it easy for beginners to handle with superior control
    • Promotes easy spin generation, ideal for learning basic techniques like chops and drives
    • Stability-focused design resistant to opponent's spin influence
    • Well-suited for backhand with excellent durability and great value
    • May lack sufficient speed and power for aggressive attacking players
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe soft and tacky surface makes it easy for beginners and intermediate players to master each technique. Backhand drives are smooth, durability is excellent, and it offers great performance at an affordable price.
    ▽ CriticalNot suitable for players relying on spin to generate pace, as it doesn't provide enough bite and struggles with spin consistency despite producing speed. Player preferences vary significantly, with some finding it unsuitable.

      A person who works hard (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to use

      Reviews by user

      Above all, it's easy to use.
      As a beginner, if you're stuck on what to put on your backhand, this is a safe choice.
      The short game is easy to do, and it's easy to get spin on.
      It doesn't have much speed, so it's a great fit for players who want to play patient rallies and work for points.

      Tanaka 0569 Doesn't spin as much as expected

      Reviews by user

      I bought it because of the "Rakza for spin" reputation, but it was a bit too soft and didn't suit me.

      It doesn't really have a standout trait, but I think it would be good for someone still learning a variety of techniques.

      Loop drives feel stable.
      Speed drives are doable, but overall there's not much power.
      I'm using it on a single-ply blade, but it might match better with a stiffer carbon blade.

      Linear function (Experience: 2〜3 years)

      Reviews by user

      The control was really good. But the speed was slow, so it was easy for the opponent to return.

      choridora block man (Experience: 2〜3 years) Sheet strength with moderate hardness

      Reviews by user

      This time I put it as thick on both my forehand and backhand. I felt like this is an ideal rubber for someone who plays a more defensive style of table tennis like me. Just like the name suggests, the sheet grips strongly and you get a huge amount of spin. And chop-block drives really cut well. Serves, pushes, stops and the like also cut well the same way. And they stop dead. But even though the ball stops, that doesn't mean it lacks speed — energy loss is also low.
      It might not be the best fit for someone who attacks with heavy topspin drives, but for someone with a playing style like mine, it becomes a powerful ally. The hardness is about the same as, or a little harder than, Rigan Spin. Please give it a try!

      Even though it's called "Soft," it's actually not all that soft, so you can use it normally on the forehand too.
      If you're using a blade with special materials, it gives a good balance that matches any playing style.
      Since there's a range of weights, being able to pick one that suits you is one of its advantages ^ ^

      ff (Experience: Less than a year) Helps you learn a thick-contact feel

      Mid-size penhold, pips on the front, reverse rubber on back
      Victas Swat

      Rakza 7 Soft

      I'm in my 30s, a beginner who plays with friends once a week
      Bought this because I wanted to learn the backhand drive and prioritized stability
      When I first bought it I didn't really understand the feel of brushing versus meeting the ball, but after about 4 months of use I developed a feel for hitting the ball thick

      Meeting the ball with a thick, flat-ish hit for the drive is really easy to do
      It gets good spin and draws an arc, so it goes in reliably
      The spin is well-mannered, so it feels like the opponent can return it easily too
      Rather than finishing points in one shot, it's more about working the course and changing pace during rallies

      Both the serve and the drive don't show their strengths unless you meet the ball and hit it thick
      It goes well with the wide swing of a penhold sidespin-and-backspin serve
      No problems with pushes or stops either

      It can't beat rubbers specialized for speed or spin, but it's a solid all-rounder that does everything decently
      It's a good rubber for beginners to learn the feel of meeting the ball and hitting it thick
      Thanks to this rubber I've been able to build longer rallies and work the course
      I hear it lasts a long time too, so I want to keep using it and improve my game with it
