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!

You can't bring out this rubber's performance by leaving everything to it like you can with Tenergy.
But its potential is frightening - it might even be higher than Tenergy's.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is an inverted rubber that appeals to pretty much everyone, but personally I wasn't that into it.
The performance is excellent - it's very easy to control the power of your shots, and thanks to this rubber I got the hang of putting away clean stops. On topspin drives, when you catch the sweet spot typical of a high-elasticity sheet, you get a strange, intense trajectory - it beats tension rubbers in that respect. Blocking felt a bit hard to do because the rubber is stiff, but counter drives and quick blocks produced fast shots. Serves also spin well thanks to the sheet's nice, moist grip and good balance, though the ball seemed to leave the rubber a bit quickly. For serves where you sink the ball in, like backhand serves, the effect is huge.
The downside, though, is that the rubber itself is pretty heavy.
I'm a penhold player using a blade called Acoustic C, which at 89g is already quite heavy for that type, and I don't have much muscle strength either, so that plays a part, but even so, in max thickness the rubber is quite heavy (I use max thickness). If you're a shakehand player there's less of an odd feeling (though it still feels somewhat heavy), so if you build up your strength properly you should be able to play at a pretty high level.
Overall, I'd recommend this to people who want to hit low, sharp topspin drives and who are confident in their strength. It's also inexpensive, and it's one of the post-Tenergy rubbers.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

You can't just leave everything to the rubber like you can with Tenergy. But if you hit the ball firmly with your own power, you can produce shots that surpass Tenergy.

This rubber can produce spin that rivals Tenergy, and the speed is pretty good too! But that's only when you swing through it properly - with a light swing you'll get a flat, spinless ball. On top of that, the rubber is hard and heavy, so it's not suited for beginners. It's a rubber for power hitters.

It doesn't have as much bounce as Rakza X. If you hit your topspin drive with just your arm, it won't get speed and will pop up high, getting smashed.
Serves have a good amount of bite. I felt stops and pushes tend to float a bit.
Loop drives are great - they get a ton of spin. Even against choppers, it's enough to make them over-return for a point. With a full swing, speed drives come out really low and still push through, making for a scary drive.
The durability is on the longer side too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It's hard. The rebound is amazing. But it's not the kind that just flies off wildly. The sound when you hit the ball is high-pitched, like a metallic "clang, clang." The spin is also really good. My opponent told me, "The spin on your drive is good, but the ball feels heavy too." It's a rubber with a lot of bite!

I use it on my forehand, and the amount of spin on my topspin drives is incredible - my teammates said it's hard to return. The ball is fast on hard shots too, so I think it's a really good rubber.
