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!

For topspin drives, you can either brush the ball or sink it in - both work. That said, for loop drives, brushing gives more stability.
For topspin rallies, the ball-holding feel is good and the arc is high, so it's stable. That said, X is more stable for rallies.
Serves have insane bite. You can also produce knuckle balls that are hard to read.
When stops go well, they bite enough to almost come back over the table on their own.
For pushes, it's more stable to chop through firmly rather than sending the ball deep.
Compared to rubbers like G1, V>15, or Rakza X, this one has no real quirks and is easy to use, so I think even beginner to intermediate players can handle it. It also lasts a long time and offers good value for money, so if you're torn, why not give this rubber a try?All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It's on the cheaper end among high-tension rubbers, but
the specs are more than enough and it's easy to use across the board, so it's a rubber I can recommend.- Serve
If you can already put good spin on a serve, you can produce serves with insane bite.- Receive
Sharply spinning serves do require a certain level of skill,
but if the spin is around your own level, you can return it without any problem.- Short game over the table
Flicks, pushes, blocks - all of these are easy to hit,
and there's nothing to complain about in that department.- Backhand
This is by far the easiest rubber to use compared to others.
You can return the ball almost automatically.- Chop
This is also easy to do without any issues.- Mid-distance to away-from-the-table play
I've also used Fastarc G1, but I can hit more consistently with this one.
I don't lose out in exchanges either.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It's a hard rubber with both spin and speed, so it's suited for advanced players.
Rakza X is used a lot, but this is a different kind of rubber from that.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

There are competing rubbers like Tenergy 05, V>15, Fastarc G1, and Rakza X, but Rakza 7 is still very much a contender.
Actually, I think it's carved out a different position for itself compared to the quirky X and the stable, high-arcing G1.
In the sense of making a German-style rubber easier for Japanese players to use, I also feel it's pretty close to Vega Japan and GF T48.
Vega Japan felt like a rock-hard German-style rubber softened just slightly, but Rakza 7 is a bit softer than that, and it feels correspondingly a little lighter too.
Of course, given this hardness you do need a certain amount of strength, but I think even a junior high schooler with power should give it a try.
It's hard to generate power from a compact swing on things like flicks, but if you want overall strength on the forehand, why not give it a try?
In terms of overall feel, from soft to hard it went GF T48 < Rakza 7 < Japan < Rakza X < GF PRO.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I used it on the backhand, and it put good spin on the ball across the basic techniques in general, like topspin drives and pushes.
It's hard, so you can do things like chiquita with it too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I got to use a junior teammate's racket, and I was amazed at how much grip it still had - you'd never guess it had been on there for six months!
I'm thinking of switching to Rakza 7 myself next time.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Allyate carbon (Experience: ２〜３ years) Low ball trajectory

In my case, with an outer-carbon blade, the trajectory was way too low, and I found it hard to get my topspin drives to land.
Also, when I received a ball with strong spin on it, it would slip, making it hard to hit. The serves are so-so too, and I think control is difficult.
This rubber is suited for intermediate players and above.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
