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!

It's soft, and the ball leaves the rubber a bit quicker than Rakza X. I'd recommend it for advanced players.

Used max thickness on the forehand.
As the title says, the speed feels a bit lacking. That might be because I was using Rasanter before this, though.
Drives come out with just the right arc and land nicely on the table. Thanks to its grip, lifting backspin is really easy!! The spin is weaker than Rasanter (R45), but with the way I hit, it's the most spin I get out of the Rakza series (other than Z).
That said, it's a good rubber, but since it's a bit older, you can't deny there's some chipping feel to it. If you don't want that chipping feeling, I'd recommend getting one from the Rakza X line instead. This rubber is best for beginner to intermediate players. Advanced players might find the speed lacking.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

It feels like it makes up for weaker speed and control with spin. Since I switched from Rozena,
it felt a bit lacking to me — speed and control are below Rozena, spin is above Rozena.
If you're the type who wants to save Rozena for when you get a bit better, definitely give this one a try.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Feeling it by hand, the sheet is pretty soft.
Over the table it doesn't pop up much, which is nice.
Loop drives sometimes slid off the ball.
With Ligan Spin, speed drives tended to overshoot a lot, but
with this one that never happened at all.
I'd recommend it for players who mainly rely on speed drives.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Used thick on the forehand of a Niwa Koki Wood.
Not sure if it's the sheet being soft, but I don't feel any hardness at all.
Very easy to handle, and easy to put spin on!!
Drive feel against both backspin and topspin is good.
Even though I'm not great at lifting backspin, I found it easy to bring the ball up!
Over the table it doesn't fly too much either. Serves bite well too.
Honestly I've used quite a lot of rubbers up to now,
and I think this is top-tier performance among them.
The backhand feels a bit tricky, so I'd recommend it for the forehand of intermediate-to-advanced players, or the backhand of advanced players!
I'm planning on repurchasing this one!
If you want to attack with consistency, definitely give it a try.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Max thickness, 49g. Used mainly on the backhand.
- It's just really easy to get the ball on the table!
- Speed drives are easy to hit!
- The balance is good, for better or worse!
As far as rubber type goes, the feel and ball release reminded me more of Tenergy 80 than Tenergy 05. It's very easy to handle, mistakes went down, and overall I got the impression of high consistency. Maybe because of a slight mismatch with my blade, the drive spin was weaker than I expected, and I tended to overshoot more on speed drives. I think it suits a more patient, grinding style better than an aggressive one.
Yasaka rubbers tend to feel heavy, or feel heavier than they are, so I felt it paired better with wood or inner-carbon blades than outer-carbon ones. At the very least, it felt a bit too lively on outer ZLC-type blades.
You definitely get plenty of spin, and if you handle it well you can get close to Tenergy levels, but generating that spin takes power and technique. Keeping the spin up through consecutive strokes felt like it takes a lot of practice.
Hope this helps!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Serves: sidespin and side-related serves get insane amounts of spin.
Third-ball attack: when I return with a loop drive or flick, the opponent has a hard time handling it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
