    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.

      Not take even one certificate of merit ....... (Experience: 2〜3 years) Anyone can use it!

      Reviews by user

      This isn't a rubber with especially strong characteristics, but I didn't have trouble with most techniques. I put it on my backhand, and I didn't find backhand drives or short-game techniques hard to do. On the other hand, I found blocking difficult. Unless you match your racket angle to the incoming spin, your blocks won't be stable

      1 baud (Experience: 2〜3 years) Super easy to use

      Reviews by user

      They say this has the highest spin performance among Yasaka rubbers,
      and it really is easy to put spin on.
      Since it's soft, I think it's good to pair it with a blade that has a bit more bounce to make up for it.
      Control and drives were both very easy to do.

      It's a good all-around rubber you can use on both forehand and backhand.
      The price isn't too high either, so I think it's good value for money too.
      By the way, I use it on my forehand.

      Like table tennis (Experience: Less than a year) Recommended for backhand

      Reviews by user

      I was using it on the backhand side of a Septear.
      It's very stable, nothing to complain about.
      When I tried hitting with it on the forehand side too, drives were very easy to do.
      In conclusion, it seems to work well on both the forehand and backhand sides.

      Alfalfa (Experience: 11〜20 years) A love-it-or-hate-it item

      Reviews by user

      Used it on the backhand side of a Waldner CFZ.
      The ball doesn't sink in.
      Balls kept dropping off weakly.
      Not sure why.
      Maybe my playing style just doesn't match it.
      I quickly switched to X Soft.
      That one was stable.
      I don't think it's simply about sponge hardness, but I can't help feeling that with a hard blade, the 7 Soft's sponge gets overpowered.
      The durability is fantastic though!
      Every rubber in the Rakza series lasts a long time!
      Even if you catch it on the table edge a bit, it doesn't crack or chip like Fastarc and others do.

      Reviews by user

      I used this on my backhand side.
      I was surprised at how good the control was...
      Flicks were pretty easy to do!
      Overall, I thought it was a rubber that really puts spin on the ball

      Table Tennis boy (Experience: 2〜3 years) Amazing spin and speed

      Reviews by user

      Counters and drives go in easily, and serves get plenty of spin on them too. This rubber suits drives well, but it also suits chopping.

      Manabuto (Experience: 11〜20 years) Easy to use and stable rubber

      Reviews by user

      My first impression was that it's an easy-to-use rubber.
      It doesn't have explosive power, but the ball comes in with a nice arc. Spin is good too.
      By the way, I also used Rakza X after this one, but X felt harder and flew higher, more suited to advanced drive players. X Soft might be different though.
