    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!

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as a well-balanced rubber for beginners to intermediate players, particularly noted for ease of spin application and control. Compared to speed-oriented rubbers, it features a more linear trajectory and stability-focused design.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Spin is easy to apply; all techniques including drives and serves are stable
    • Soft sheet and hard sponge combination enables good ball grip
    • Excellent cost-performance ratio for intermediate players
    • Moderate speed and flight characteristics suit beginners
    • Relatively long durability with gradual performance degradation
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveAfter trying various rubbers, this is ultimately the best. Spin application is easy, and even without excess force, substantial spin can be generated on shots.
    ▽ CriticalFor players focused on speed drives it may be good, but for loopy chop-oriented play, Vega Asia provides better spin performance.

      This is a really high-spec rubber.
      The ball sinks in firmly before flying off, so the amount of spin is tremendous.
      When I hit with an all-wood blade, the distance felt a bit lacking, but with a blade that has special composite material plies, I could get distance while keeping the spin.
      You can perform every technique consistently, so I think it's suited for all-rounders who want to get a bit stronger.

      It draws a really high arc, and then the ball snaps right down onto the table.
      If you're switching over from another rubber, the difference should be really easy to feel.
      If you want to strengthen your topspin drive, you should give this one a try.

      Reviews by user

      On the forehand, I think it's easy to use for every technique - topspin drives and counters from mid-distance, and stops and flicks close to the table. On the backhand too, it's easy to put spin on topspin drives and easy to block.

      Potchii (Experience: More than 20 years) Has a "manual" feel

      Reviews by user

      - High arc, easy to lift underspin balls
      - Long lasting
      - Pushes bite well
      - Good ball-holding feel

      This rubber is often classified as "hard," but it's easy to sink the ball into the top sheet, so you can produce a high arc.
      Both the height of the arc and how easily it lifts underspin are better than Rakza X.

      Unlike Tenergy or V>15, it doesn't have that feeling of spin grabbing on its own, so you can hit the ball exactly the way you intend.

      Also, among the pricier tension rubbers in this price range, its durability is top class.

      [Ryo] (Experience: 2〜3 years) The ideal rubber

      Reviews by user

      I switched from Mark V after reading the catalog description.
      When I used a friend's tension rubber, I'd occasionally get slippage, but with Rakza 7 that hardly ever happens. Since switching rubbers, it's only happened once.
      It's easy to vary the amount of spin, and the control is easy too. The ball comes off a bit weakly, so I think it would be just right paired with a blade that releases the ball quickly.

      Reviews by user

      It's a rubber that suits any kind of player! I've been using this rubber for close to three years now. It brings out the player's own skill and sense exactly as it is, so you can reproduce your own image of the shot faithfully. That said, unlike other tension rubbers, it won't add spin or speed on its own, so I think you need to build strength and an efficient form to generate real power.

      PoP (Experience: 11〜20 years) Recommended for power hitters

      Reviews by user

      If I had to describe this rubber in one word, it would be "outstanding." Spin, speed on impact, and control - it has everything modern table tennis demands.
      One thing to note is that, unlike Tenergy, it doesn't automatically send the ball back into the opponent's court on its own. Also, since the rubber itself is heavy, if you don't swing through it actively yourself you'll often get overpowered. Unless you make adjustments, like using a carbon blade or building up your own strength, it's not well suited for topspin rallies.
