    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.

      Draken (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to use!

      Reviews by user

      I'm a first-year high school girl.
      I have it on my backhand.
      Since it's a soft rubber, even with a girl's slower swing speed I can still sink the ball in, and my success rate on backhand drives has gone up.
      Just swinging the racket puts spin on the ball, and it feels like the ball goes into the opponent's side of the table on its own.
      However, the rubber is fragile, so just bumping the racket against the table once chipped it. If you're careful about that, I think it's a really good rubber!

      minion (Experience: 2〜3 years) Excellent spin and control

      Reviews by user

      I used it on my forehand.
      The topspin drive gets spin, but
      it doesn't really draw an arc.
      The serve gets a ton of spin.
      I think the topspin drive is good when playing close to the table, but I felt like I needed more power when playing away from the table. That said, it's not that you can't hit it from back there — when it goes in, you can hit a really good drive.
      When I lent it to a friend, he said it felt like a tacky rubber. I've never used tacky rubber myself, but since he said that, I think people who like tacky rubbers might want to try this.
      It's easy to hit against choppers and long pips players.
      Blocking against the opponent's topspin drive is also pretty easy, so personally I don't feel like there are many downsides.

      The backhand is quite stable. It's also easy to use on the reverse side of a penhold blade.


      Calling it a "hybrid Tenergy" might be an exaggeration, but it's a good rubber.
      Please give it a try.

      Manyu (Experience: 11〜20 years) Great spin, cheap, light, high performance

      Reviews by user

      It has good grip on the ball, so you get a lot of spin.
      It's stable, and I think it's a great rubber for beginners to intermediate players, and for anyone switching from a high-elasticity rubber to a tension rubber.
      The feel is good too, and when you really get the spin on it and hit, you get a nice metallic sound.
      Compared to Rakza X Soft, I felt this one has a higher arc and focuses more on spin.
      It's a rubber I'd recommend.

      I think this is a rubber with almost no quirks. It gets good spin and the price is reasonable, so I felt even beginners could pick it up easily. Though I did feel it was a bit easily affected by the opponent's spin.

      Tenari (Experience: 2〜3 years) An all-purpose rubber for the backhand side (beginner to intermediate)

      Reviews by user

      Used on the backhand. Whether you sink the ball in or brush it, it's really easy to get spin on.
      The speed is about average. You can also get good balance with flat hits. Compared to a hard rubber, stops and the like are a bit harder to do, but if you sink the ball in for a push, you get a sharp, fast ball. Overall it's a well-balanced rubber. I'd recommend it for beginners learning backhand technique, or for intermediate players who want spin-focused backhand.

      The (Experience: 11〜20 years) For those aiming to master both hands

      - Pros
      The control is good and it's easy to place the ball to a spot during rallies. Even though it's soft, it's easy to block with, and you can also vary the pace. I don't feel much grip on the ball, but loops can drop just past the net.
      - Cons
      When you sink the ball into it as much as possible, you get speed, but even though it's a soft rubber, it was hard to sink the ball in enough during a rally to hit a decisive shot.
      If you're used to hard rubbers, stops tend to float.
      With a hard blade, when hitting a topspin drive, the ball sinks in too much before the blade flexes, so you lack rebound and the ball can drop.
      I think it suits a flexible blade, like a 5-ply blade or one with a soft inner ply.

      Chocolate monaca (Experience: 4〜5 years) Soft and easy to use

      Reviews by user

      This is my first review.
      I used this on my backhand a while back.
      Since the hardness is 37-42 degrees, it's soft and very stable. Some people might feel the bounce is lacking, but the short game is easy to do and it grips well for spin, so I'd recommend it to beginners too.
      I'd also recommend it to people who aren't confident in their backhand technique.
