Yasaka, using mainly natural rubber gum for the top sheet. This improves the level of grip and the power of spin drastically. The top sheet is combined with the new Power Sponge. The top sheet and Power Sponge work in perfect synergy, producing the Hybrid Energy rubber Rakza 7. When the player hits the ball hard, the rubber grips the ball and the stroke can be used to place the ball accurately, both in direction and length. The serve and short returns are very sharp and easy to handle. Due to the increased percentage of natural gum the durability is improved. A winning combination!

Drives against backspin land cleanly. Serves can bite well too.
That said, while it doesn't fly too much, opponents have told me it's easy to read.
Fast, long serves might be difficult.
Overall, it's easy to use, and even when you swing hard it still lands reasonably well on the opponent's side.
It's a good rubber.
I've only used it in practice once or twice so far, so I'll keep an eye on how the lifespan holds up.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I used max thickness on my backhand, and for how it's rated, I found it surprisingly soft.
You can really feel the ball grip the rubber, so I'd recommend it for beginner to intermediate players.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Compared to more recent rubbers, the trajectory is a bit flatter and it bounces quite a bit. It does have that speed-oriented tension-rubber feel.
That said, it's definitely not lacking in spin — even a thin contact gets a solid response, so you can score points off serves and loops too.
The surface felt a bit on the soft side, while the sponge felt a bit on the hard side.
Sink the ball in and hit it, and it comes out with just the right arc; brush it, and it ignores half the opponent's spin and comes down in a high arcing trajectory — nothing to complain about there.
It flies quite far, so it'd probably pair better with a blade that doesn't bounce too much on its own.Its performance sits right around the middle of today's tension rubbers, so if you're not sure what to pick, you could just go with the mindset of "this one will do."

These are my impressions from borrowing a friend's Chinese penhold blade and hitting with it.
I immediately thought this is well suited for the forehand on a Chinese penhold!
The spin on topspin drives is amazing, serves get plenty of spin too, and the balance is great, so it's just really suited for the forehand!!!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I currently have Rakza 7 (thick) on both sides. I used to play with different rubbers on each side and flip the racket to mix up pace, but I switched to the same rubber on both sides to fix my form.
Quick, compact drives were tricky to pull off, but on impact-style drives the sponge grips the ball well, giving a decent amount of spin. Blocks came out on a straight line and were easy to hit. Chiquita, though, often went long because the sponge grabbed the ball too much. Overall the ball draws a solid arc, but it can also fly fairly flat.
Once again, Yasaka makes rubbers that just work well for me.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Used on my forehand.
This rubber is for players who want consistency in spin, speed, and technique. I think it's good for people who want to play more topspin-rally-based tennis.
Though it might just be my own skill level, but it feels like it's built more for going for one big shot...
If someone around you has one, I'd recommend borrowing it and trying it out first.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Easy to control and easy to get spin on, and if you swing well it'll go in without much trouble. That said, on backhand drives I felt like I had to swing forward or it wouldn't go in properly.
