    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.

      Cool Max (Experience: 11〜20 years) A rubber recommended for backhand

      These days it feels like it's been dethroned by the same maker's Rigan, but this is truly "the backhand rubber."
      It has plenty of spin, and thanks to its stable arc, control is good, and since it doesn't bounce too much, it lands easily on the opponent's side of the table.

      victas school (Experience: 2〜3 years) Soft and easy to put spin on

      Reviews by user

      I used the 2.0 on my backhand.
      Drives come in with an arcing trajectory onto the opponent's side of the table.
      Serves also get plenty of spin and land right where you intend, so it's easy to use.
      It also performs well in the short game, with chiquitas, stops, and pushes.
      For players who want spin on their backhand.

      Reviews by user

      The first time I changed rubbers, I put this on my forehand, and it was really easy to use
      But it doesn't fly very well, so I'd recommend putting it on a carbon blade!

      Alto Used on the backside, Chinese-style (thick)

      Reviews by user

      The grip on the ball is good and it settles into the racket well, so it shows its strength on light connecting drives.
      On the other hand, my impression is that it's not great for putting a ball away with one shot.
      Among soft rubbers, the spin is top-class, so I imagine it has a lot of loyal users.
      I'd recommend it for beginners just starting with inverted rubber, or forehand-oriented penhold players.

      It's not a heavy rubber (low 40g range), though there are lighter rubbers out there than this.

      Reviews by user

      This rubber is soft, yet it gets a lot of spin, and it doesn't fly too much, so I think it excels in rally exchanges. I have it on my forehand, and drives are very easy to do, and since it has spin on it, a single shot carries a lot of weight. It's very easy to use, so give it a try (^o^)

      Alexandra (Experience: 6〜10 years) A rubber built above all for ease of use

      Reviews by user

      Just as the title says, it's simply easy to use.
      A rubber I'd recommend for beginners to intermediate players.

      Since the ball just goes in whenever you swing, it's a rubber I'd highly recommend for people looking for stability or for players who rely mainly on rallies.
      Despite being soft, it still gets a decent amount of spin, so please give it a try.

      Naughty (Experience: 4〜5 years) Easy to spin, gives stable shots❗

      Reviews by user

      This time I'll review the Rakza 7 Soft. First off, a blade that suits this rubber well is the Ma Lin Extra Special. I put it on my forehand. Getting right to it, the good thing about this rubber is that it gets tremendous spin. The friction of the topsheet combined with the way the moderately soft sponge lets the ball sink in works really well. Looking at the performance across Yasaka's rubber lineup, the Rakza 7 Soft has strong spin. It's easy to hit powerful balls with it. Players suited to this rubber are drive-oriented players who value spin and stability, or players who want to gain more stability. I plan to keep using the Rakza 7 Soft for a while. Thank you for reading.
