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!

- 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

To get straight to the point, for me personally this is the strongest rubber! (Forehand)
If you hit a thin loop drive with it, the spin is insane. I used to use V15 Extra, and people told me this has even more spin than that! Also, if you sink the ball in and take a full swing, you get a super heavy, fast winning shot! On top of that, if you deliberately hit it thin without sinking the ball in and still take a full swing, the amount of spin is also crazy! The ball carries differently than when you sink it in, so opponents often overshoot or catch it on the edge of their racket, which gets you points too!
It doesn't bounce a ton, so the control is plenty good, and the short game being easy is another strength!
And! Long lifespan and price!
The price varies depending on where you buy it, but
compared to popular rubbers like the V15 series, G1, and the Tenergy series,
it's more than 1000 yen cheaper, which is another great thing about it! Everyone, please give it a try!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is the best rubber.
The topspin drives really bite, and whether you sink the ball in or just brush it, I never feel like I'm losing power! Blocks go in well too (the strength of a hard rubber).
But honestly, the serve is the biggest strength.
It really spins like crazy.
The drive speed felt a little lacking so I cheated on it with other rubbers for a while, but when I think about how easy it is to generate and control spin on serves and the short game, it's Rakza 7 after all.
The X is similar, but its sheet is harder than the 7's, and it demands a consistently solid swing throughout play.
The soft version spins well but, being soft, doesn't produce much speed, and it was hard to return my opponent's drives with it. If you're going to use it, I'd pair it with a hard blade. I can't recommend it for intermediate players and above.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I try other rubbers sometimes, but I always end up coming back to this one.
First off, the amount of spin is great. If you cut through the ball with the sheet, pushes and loop drives become real point-scorers.
It's on the hard side, so you need a solid impact to get speed out of it, but that also means the short game stays under control. Stops are easy too.
It's been out for quite a while now, and successors like the X have come out since, but I think it's a classic that will never fade.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This rubber puts a ton of spin on the ball, period.
I'm good at semi-sidespin, and the ball curves like crazy with this.
If you really commit to the spin, you can pick up about 4 points a set from it.
The short game is easy to play too, so I recommend it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Everything about it is easy to use. If you can properly grip the ball with the rubber, the grip performance is amazing and I think it's very usable. That said, compared to the newer high-performance rubbers and things like Tenergy, it does feel a little behind. Well, it's reasonably priced, so let's forgive it for that lol.

The spin on loop drives is just crazy.
The grip on the ball is strong, so techniques like serve-and-counter were easy to pull off.
The speed is pretty fast too if you focus on a strong impact.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I use it in black, 1.8mm, on the forehand side. The spin is insane. Just my personal impression, but when I really rip a backspin serve, my opponent catches it in the net once or twice.
Also, the variation in spin on drives comes out naturally. Especially with loop drives, when it really bites, you get an extremely slow, super spinny ball.
For meet-hitting, the trajectory comes out nice and straight, so it's easy to use.
It's a rubber that generates a lot of spin, but the short game is fairly manageable too, so I'd recommend it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
