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.

Used it as thick on my forehand.
Loop drives are easy to hit.
But when it comes to speed drives, I felt quite a bit of energy loss because it's soft.
Personally I'd recommend putting it on the backhand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

As the name suggests, this is a softened version of Rakza 7. Because it's soft, it's even easier to put spin on than Rakza 7, and it's more consistent. I think that's the only difference from Rakza 7. If anything it leans toward the backhand, but if you're not confident in your power, I think it's fine for the forehand too. I think you can use it well enough on the forehand too.

Since it's soft, I think it's often put on the backhand, but I can definitely recommend it for the forehand too. When I put Rakza 7 on my Timo Boll ALC, I was too weak, so the ball would leave the racket or drop before I could put spin on it, so I switched to Rakza 7 Soft. The soft version holds the ball better and gives better control. I personally feel that for ALC-series blades like the Zhang Jike ALC, a softer rubber like Rakza 7 Soft suits it better than Rakza 7. I think the spin is just as good as Tenergy 05. If you put it on a fast blade, you get some really sharp shots. If you brush the ball thin, hitting it with the sheet, you get insane spin.

My impression after putting this on my backhand. Pushes and stops are easy to do, and it's easier to use for the short game than Rakza 7. On top of that, blocking is really good since I can place the ball wherever I want. The only thing is, when I hit it with my forehand, I personally couldn't get much power, and the ball didn't travel far during topspin rallies.

Using it as thick on my backhand. I want to compare it to Rakza X Soft. Spin: 7 Soft wins. It really grips the ball well. Speed: X Soft wins, since its average hardness is harder than 7 Soft. Stability: 7 Soft wins. It's soft so the control is also outstanding!
But like I keep saying, since it's soft, the sheet gets scratched if you even bump it a little. If you can put up with that, the value for money is great too, so definitely give it a try!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

This rubber is very soft, so it doesn't pick and choose its users
The speed on drives is a bit lacking, but it's easy to produce shots with a lot of spin on them. I was surprised it could do this much despite being so soft.
It doesn't travel very far, so it's not suited to topspin rallies.
Blocking also has a good sinking feel to it and is very easy to do.
Serves, receives, and short-game play all get spin, but the ball flies off with just a little force, so it takes some getting used to.
I think it's better to pair it with a blade that's hard and bouncy to balance out the rubber.
Personally, I thought it was a rubber suited to the backhand. If you put it on the forehand, you need to play without backing away from the table as much as possible.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I've had it on my backhand for quite a while now, and it's very easy to control.
I have it on a Koki Niwa blade, so thanks to the carbon, it compensates for
the part where Rakza 7 Soft doesn't fly as well. I'd recommend it for intermediate players.
Even among players who can already put a decent amount of spin on their drives, I'd love for people who want
even more spin on their drives, or who want to hit stable drives, to try this.
The ball's trajectory is also a bit different from other rubbers - it comes in drawing an arc
onto the table, so I think it's hard for opponents to handle too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
