    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.

      Easy to put spin on, and control is good too, so I think it's great for drive-oriented players.

      Yutchi @ cut Soft yet usable on forehand too

      Reviews by user

      I borrowed a friend's to try it out, so this might not be that useful as a reference, but it was easy to use since it's soft. Even so, serves get plenty of spin on them and drives have real power! Blocking was hard for me given my skill level... It's probably not an issue for attacking-style players. With my swing speed it actually felt great on forehand too! But there's no question this rubber really shows its high performance on the backhand of intermediate and advanced players!

      Trypsin (Experience: 6〜10 years)

      Reviews by user

      Compared to the GFT series, Rakza X, Vega and so on, it does have decent bounce. But when you hit it hard, you don't get much speed.
      Being soft, hard drives really do feel like they're losing energy on both speed and spin.
      That said, since it uses the same sheet as the 7, serves bite really well. Also, on receive, you can hit backhand drives and flicks without being affected by your opponent's spin all that much. Sinking the ball in feels great. For a thin, brushing receive like a chiquita, you do get spin, but the power is pretty weak. Though if you place your shots well, you can probably make it work.

      Fukutaka Pretty good rubber

      Reviews by user

      I have it on a blade that isn't my main one, but after trying all kinds of rubbers lately, I feel like this is the one that suits me best.
      It's soft and sinks in well, so control is excellent (◎) and the amount of spin is beyond complaint.
      And above all, I love the feel of the ball on contact the most.
      I'd like to try putting it on my main blade (the one I use for chopping) as well.

      Grizzly Best balance ability

      Reviews by user

      I tried it and it has the best balance.
      It gets a moderate amount of spin, you can control it, and it's not like you get no speed either.
      On top of that,
      it has a long lifespan and is lightweight.
      This is the soft rubber I can recommend for its great balance.

    • Tenaji What delicious it

      Tenaji What delicious it (Experience: 2〜3 years)

      Reviews by user

      If you just tap the ball, it's absolutely no good,
      but when you sink the ball in, the power is insane!
      Spin and speed were both beyond satisfying!

      I'd recommend it for intermediate players.

      Vega (Experience: 2〜3 years) Super spin all-rounder!

      Reviews by user

      I tried putting it on my backhand. First, serves... the spin is insane! This is the first rubber I've had that gives serves this much bite! Next, basic hitting... super stable! I barely missed at all! Next, drives... they just keep extending! The ball went in like it was stabbing into my opponent's court! This gets full marks! Definitely give it a try!
