    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.

      Table soft mania (Experience: 11〜20 years) Tenergy 80?

      Reviews by user

      I switched over from Tenergy 80, but
      the performance is such that nobody notices I switched
      I have a friend who likes to block my drives
      and he's always blocking them for me, but
      he doesn't notice a thing at all...
      That said, mentally I still feel like using Tenergy 80 for the motivation, but
      this one is reasonable enough that you could buy two for the price ♪
      Serves bite well too!
      Blocking is also easy thanks to the firm rubber ♪ and it's easy to stop short too!
      Smashes are about as easy as with Sriver
      My whole family uses Rakza 7 now
      You should think of the Soft version as a completely different rubber
      The weak point is that the rubber chips easily... even more so than Tenergy.

      Reviews by user

      When it comes down to it, 7 or 7 Soft is the way to go.
      I tried the 9 and the X too, but 7 felt like it performed the best.
      I guess 7 for forehand, 7 Soft for backhand.
      For spin-oriented players who like pushes and drives, I think these are a perfect fit.

      It really grips the ball for spin
      And smashes are easy to hit too, so I think it's a good one

      Sergei Grip it firmly and you can hit a great ball.

      Reviews by user

      It bounced a lot more than I expected. On the other hand, the spin wasn't quite as much as I thought.
      It's surprisingly soft, and if you commit to sinking the ball in, you get a great shot. Brushing it thinly, though, I didn't feel much of that good grip... That might be because I've used tacky rubber for a long time.

      Chops bite well, but I never quite felt like I could trust the topsheet's grip. You get more out of it by catching the ball deep and putting spin on it that way. I think that's a matter of preference. It doesn't fly too long. The control is excellent.

      The maker's claim that it bounces when you hit hard and doesn't bounce when you hit soft seems to be true. Control over long and short shots is good too.

      Among spin-oriented tension rubbers, it might have less spin compared to something like Tenergy, but it still gets plenty, so I have no complaints.
      It's also easy to vary your speed and easy to control, which is nice.
      On top of that, the long lifespan is the point I'd really want to recommend.

      zxcvbnm (Experience: 6〜10 years) Nothing stands out, but a well-rounded high-level rubber

      Reviews by user

      Going by the maker's sponge hardness rating, I expected this to be on the hard side, but even pinching it with my fingers it gives easily, so it's not actually that hard.
      (This might also be because I was using Chinese rubber before.)
      Since it doesn't bounce too much, the short game is easy, and because it feels soft as I mentioned, the control is good too.
      The spin naturally falls short of Chinese tacky rubber, but it still gets a decent amount.
      I think this is a rubber for intermediate players.

      Topspin rallies got easier compared to my old rubber.
      Also, when driving a backspin ball, the extension on the shot is amazing.
      When it clipped the net, it still carried through to the other side.
      And my friends told me the ball got heavier than before.
      When I give backspin, though, I felt it doesn't bite quite as much.
      Also, when I hit a backhand serve at full power, my opponents' receive errors went up.
