    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.

      I used it on the reverse side of a penhold blade, and every technique was easy to do — very easy to use.

      Washio (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to use

      Reviews by user

      It's easy to use, but there's nothing particularly standout about it.
      You get decent spin and decent speed.
      If you sink the ball in too much you'll overshoot, but once you get used to it, I think it's a rubber you can win plenty of matches with.

      Loco Moco bowl (Experience: 2〜3 years) Pros and cons

      Reviews by user

      Used it on the backhand. Honestly I didn't like it that much. It has speed, but it doesn't sink the ball in much, so I think people who rely on spin to send the ball shouldn't use it. Because of that, I felt like topspin drives against backspin were hard to do. Maybe I just got a bad rubber, but it felt super slippery, kind of like G1. I think this is a rubber that people either really hate or really love, splitting opinion.

      Grime (Experience: 4〜5 years) If you want stability

      Reviews by user

      It's ideal for the backhand, but not suited to the forehand. Definitely recommend it if you want stability.

      Table coach (Experience: 4〜5 years) Grips the ball

      Reviews by user

      I felt like this rubber really grabs the ball and gets a lot of spin.
      Because it's soft, it's not very sensitive to spin, so I wasn't affected much by the opponent's spin.
      However, I felt the short game was hard to do.
      Pushes float up.
      Topspin drives were easy to hit. Counters were also good if I really put my own spin back on the ball.

      Entrainment service (Experience: Less than a year) Tremendous spin

      Reviews by user

      Switched my forehand from V15 Extra.

      It gets a ton of spin, no matter what.

      And it's easy to hit backspin balls.

      That said, it's not suited to people who play away from the table on the forehand side.

      Miyanafu (Experience: 6〜10 years) Rubber for the backhand

      Reviews by user

      I think this might be the rubber with the fewest quirks among spin-oriented tension rubbers.
      Since it's soft, if you sink the ball in when you hit, it flies off with a nice sound. Even with a brushing stroke it draws an arc and lands on the table, so it's extremely stable. Blocks and flicks also go in reliably, so you can even play more counter-oriented offense.
      I'd especially recommend it to people who struggle to put spin on with their backhand.
