    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.

      I switched from the Glazer. The speed of the Speed Drive is slightly slower than the Glazer, but I feel like it has great control. It goes in whether you hit it directly, rub it, or dig into it, so it seems like it will suit a variety of players. And its greatest appeal is the amount of spin on the loop drive. Other reviews, blogs, YouTube, etc. tend to say it's not strong, but it boasts more than enough spin. It also has a high amount of spin on the serve, and if you relax and serve without moving much except for your wrist, it will have a really strong impact. In any case, I recommend using this rubber over other intermediate rubbers (Glazer series, Rozena, Vega series, etc.).

      Reviews by user

      This is my first German tension rubber, and it offers good value for money. I want to compete with spin without too much bounce.
      I recommend this rubber to cut players like that.
      It gives you the feeling of hitting the ball with your own power, is easy to control, and is easy to apply spin with all techniques.
      Personally, I think it will help beginner and intermediate cut players improve their skills.
      The soft and light sponge is also good. It makes it easy to control even powerful hits with a cut.
      It's easy to create an arc, and drives feel stable.
      I think this rubber has just about everything.

      On the other hand, my receive may be easily affected by my opponent's shot.
      Also, is the ball quality light when attacking (or is it just spinning smoothly)? I originally use DNA PRO H professionally and thought it might be too hard, so I tried the Rakza 7, which I had been interested in but hadn't used for a while,
      and I felt that it had some disadvantages when attacking.
      (This is just a comparison, and if you think about it normally, it will produce enough power.)

      It might work well with a harder racket or a racket made of a bouncy material.

      Once you get used to it, you can also move on to the Z.

      *Additional note
      It pairs extremely well with the Masamune, so give it a try.

      It's a surprisingly good match for the sticky feel of the three-piece cypress.

      This is a rubber that requires spin, both in a good and bad sense.
      If you can hit it while rubbing it firmly, you'll get a good ball, but if you hit it too hard, it will fly really far.

      All techniques are easy to perform.

      In particular, my drives against underspin are very stable.

      It's easy to handle and allows me to hit the ball exactly how I want.

      I'm a cut player and switched from a sticky rubber, but I found it to be a well-balanced rubber for both offense and defense, making it easy to control cuts.

      The push shot is very linear, so it took me a while to get used to it.

    • (Experience:6〜10 years) For better or worse, this rubber has no corners.

      Reviews by user

      I used a 2.1mm forehand and backhand.

      This rubber has a slightly softer sheet and is perfectly balanced.

      The ball does not extend as far as the Rakza X, but it is easier to use.

      For better or worse, it is an average 47.5° German rubber, so it may be just right as a benchmark for stepping up.

      Shiba Inu (Experience:2〜3 years) Easy to lift!

      Reviews by user

      On the forehand side, I changed from Rosena to the Rakza 7 Extra Thick. Compared to Rosena, I was surprised at how much easier it was to drive with a lifted underspin. And the speed was so fast I could feel it. It was easy to put spin on serves, and it was a very satisfying rubber.
      I highly recommend it!!

      Twenties (Experience:6〜10 years) All intermediate players should use this

      Reviews by user

      Intermediate players can complete their game with just this one rubber.
      The sponge and sheet are just the right amount of soft, so there are few mistakes and it is easy to use for speed drives, loop drives, and general receives. It also goes well with a variety of rackets. However, if you apply it to a bouncy racket such as the outer one, it may become hard and difficult to use, so we recommend that intermediate players try it with wood on the inner side.
