    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.

      Taepodong (Experience: Less than a year) The best

      I used it on my backhand.
      It's really good.
      Chiquitas and backhand drives felt consistent. This one was easier to use than Rakza X.
      The downside is it chips right away lol.

      Just like the title says, this is a rubber with no quirks and it's very easy to use. It doesn't bounce too much, and it isn't too hard or too soft, so you can hit consistent, stable balls. Also, when you sink the ball into the sponge, it's easy to produce heavy shots, which I really like.

      The harder your impact, the better the ball you get, but on the other hand, if you don't swing through properly or make an odd contact, you end up with a half-baked ball that has neither much spin nor speed. The short game is easy because it's hard with a strong sheet. I'd recommend it for people who can commit to their own swing on any ball, or who can use their opponent's incoming spin to sink the ball into the sponge.

      Miyanafu (Experience: 6〜10 years) Safe choice, easy to use

      Reviews by user

      This rubber is all about spin. The weight, at 45g in thick, isn't too heavy either.
      It's easy to vary the power of your shots — a light touch stays mild, but a full, committed swing produces a good amount of speed and spin. It's a rubber that answers back exactly as much as you put into it.
      The spin is heavy and it's easy to produce heavy balls. In the short game, it doesn't bounce much on soft touches, so it's quite manageable. Serves also carry a lot of spin, and it's easy to produce both short and long serves. Only the smash feels somehow half-baked.
      Even with all the latest high-end rubbers out there, this one is cheap and has performance you can pick up easily, which is probably why it's used by such a wide range of players. Recommended.

      Beginner kid (Experience: 4〜5 years) Maybe good for backhand

      Reviews by user

      This rubber has really strong grip on the ball. The speed isn't surprisingly fast, more like a bit above your average tension rubber. The sponge is hard but the sheet is soft, so if you take advantage of the grip when hitting drives, you get real power. It spins a lot, so serves and pushes made a good impression. The control is also high, and you can consistently hit heavy balls.
      With a 5-ply wood blade, the speed might feel a bit lacking, so it seems like it would pair well with carbon blades.
      On my forehand, the feel is soft and it felt a bit off to me. On my backhand, it felt stable and made a good impression.

      Moi (Experience: 2〜3 years) Flat hits land reliably

      Reviews by user

      I use this rubber on my forehand. I'm mainly a close-to-the-table, fast-attack, meet-hitting player, and it flies forward reliably and lets me send fast balls, so I've stuck with this rubber the whole time. You can really put spin on serves and receives, and in the short game, pushes and stops land short on the table, so you get the advantage instead of letting your opponent take the initiative. That said, personally I don't think it's suited for the backhand. (Might just be my lack of skill lol) My backhand drives don't go in with it. But backhand pushes and backhand stops are easy to do. So personally I'd recommend putting it on your forehand!

      Fasterkman w (Experience: 4〜5 years) The ball goes exactly as you hit it!!

      Reviews by user

      This is a comparison with Fastarc G1.
      I'll call Fastarc "G" and Rakza "7".
      Spin (light hit): G < 7
      (hard hit): G < 7
      Speed (light hit): G > 7
      (hard hit): G < 7
      Counter: G > 7
      Receive: G > 7
      Bounce: G < 7
      (both light and hard hits)
      Away from the table, this thing is seriously a god lol!!!!
      Give it a try
