    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.

      Bamboo's (Experience: 6〜10 years) Spins really well

      Reviews by user

      For light shots like pushes, there's no feeling of the ball flying off on its own, so it's really easy to control, while for hard shots like drives it bounces a lot and produces a heavy ball.
      I think it's a good choice for players who can really put spin on the ball.

      The topsheet grip is really good, so it's easy to put spin on the ball.
      You can easily sink the ball in and hit it, so both drives and smashes were easy to hit.
      The feeling of driving the ball yourself is strong, so it's easy to control, and rallies tend to go on for a while.

      Per-chan (Experience: 4〜5 years) Easy-to-use tension rubber

      Reviews by user

      Good spin, good bounce - a really easy-to-use tension rubber.
      Works great on both forehand and backhand!
      It's way lighter than Chinese rubber, so you can swing it with ease even in max thickness.
      The topsheet isn't hard either, so the ball doesn't leave it too quickly.

      Zanadon (Experience: 6〜10 years) Good for spin!!

      Reviews by user

      I use the max-thickness version on the forehand side of a STIGA Offensive Wood NCT.

      Even with the plastic ball, the grip is good, and I think it suits players who prioritize spin.
      It's not automatic - you get spin in proportion to your own power.
      You can really feel through your hand that solid grip-and-spin sensation.
      Serves bite well too.
      A long lifespan is another strength.

      The downside is probably still the weight.
      You need real swing speed to make the most of it, so I'd say it's for intermediate-or-above drive players.

      Misaka (Experience: 2〜3 years) Pretty good

      Reviews by user

      Rakza 7 grips really well for spin, which is great. You can also hit drives with a low arc. That said, the thick and max-thickness versions are quite heavy, so it's tough to swing fast. Because of the weight, I sometimes overshoot or can't hit it well.

      Shisho (Experience: Less than a year) Amazing spin

      Reviews by user

      I've used it for about three months now. First off, the spin on drives is amazing - I used to use Sriver EL before, and it's clear the Rakza gets way more spin. Serves bite well too, and the short game was easy to do as well.
