    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.

      It really has speed! Also, since it's not a tension rubber, it doesn't automatically add bounce or spin on its own. I'd recommend it to people using a wood blade who want more speed, or people who want to attack aggressively on the forehand.

      Reviews by user

      My first impression was how strong the spin is - on par with Tenergy 05. It's easy to hit with on both forehand and backhand.

      EK (Experience: 6〜10 years) Shows your true skill as-is

      Reviews by user

      Serves come out short and sharply spinning. Receives are easily affected by spin, so you'll make mistakes if you don't consciously chop through or add your own spin.
      Topspin drives are easy to vary in power, but if you just brush the ball you'll get a flat, spinless ball. Even with a small impact, if you push firmly into the ball, it picks up spin and becomes a nasty ball to handle. Topspin rallies and counters also produce pretty powerful shots if you put your body into them.
      Overall, it clearly shows both your strengths and weaknesses, so I think it's a good rubber that helps you improve your skills.

      Reviews by user

      At 5,000 yen it's on the cheap side for a tension rubber, but depending on how you use it, I think it can even surpass Tenergy.
      When I swung through properly, it gripped the ball more than the 05 and gave speed on par with the 64. Recommended for people who find Vega lacking.

      This is a spin tension rubber, but a slightly different type from Tenergy. Tenergy holds the ball well and grips it with the sponge, but this one felt more like the sheet grips the ball while the sponge launches it.
      Also, Tenergy adds spin automatically, but with this one you generate powerful shots by putting the spin on yourself, so it's easy to vary how much spin you put on the ball.
      It's easy to use and I couldn't find any shot it's bad at, but because of that it doesn't really have a standout characteristic either.
      That said, it doesn't have the quirks of Fastarc-type rubbers (a flat, straight trajectory) or Tenergy-type rubbers (spin that grabs on its own), so I think it's an easy rubber for anyone to use.

      All in all, this is a truly all-around rubber. For brushing techniques like serves and pushes, it doesn't bounce much and grips solidly for spin. On drives, it feels like the sponge really launches the ball! I think it's a rubber that can handle anything at a really high level. If there's a downside, it's probably that it doesn't have a standout characteristic. There's no one thing that really jumps out as amazing - if anything, its strength is that it has no weaknesses. Even players who are happy with their current rubber might end up liking this one even more!

      God Great for top players too!

      Reviews by user

      Being a hybrid energy rubber, the more power you put in, the more powerful the shot gets.
      Hit it lightly and you get a light shot, hit it hard and you get a powerful shot, so it's really easy to vary your power!
      That makes techniques like stops, chiquitas, and flicks easy to do too.
      And the power transfer is incredibly high!
      The grip almost feels like it might be a little too good, if anything.
