    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.

      seasoning (Experience: 4〜5 years) Amazing spin

      Reviews by user

      You get tremendous spin on serves and drives. Meet-hitting also comes out fast and is easy to use. That said, it's sensitive to your opponent's spin, so receiving felt a bit tricky. The lifespan is long too, so I'd recommend it.

      Gucci Anti (Experience: 6〜10 years) Very good

      Reviews by user

      It's a really cheap and good rubber.
      It's a Hybrid Energy rubber,
      and since it uses natural rubber, the spin is just crazy. If it were Gucci I guess you'd go with Bombard? but for me, I'd go with Rakza 7.

      Teenagers (Experience: 6〜10 years) Clear strengths and weaknesses

      Reviews by user

      [Pros]
      - Amazing spin performance — hitting serves or drives with just the surface, without sinking the ball into the sponge, still generates crazy spin (personally, at max thickness I'd rate it above Tenergy 05)
      - Easy to control power, so light touches stay slow and hard hits stay fast
      - Price
      - Durability (personally got about 5 months out of it at roughly 4 hours a week)
      [Cons]
      - Sensitive to incoming spin, which makes receiving difficult
      - Hard to control power on blocks and counters, so the ball tends to fly long

      [Overall]
      Since I play penhold with rubber on one side only, the difficulty receiving became a real weakness for me, so I didn't repurchase.
      The amount of spin you get on serves is amazing though, so I'd recommend it for the forehand of a shakehand player!

    • Drive man behind the back

      Drive man behind the back (Experience: 2〜3 years) Insane amount of spin‼

      Reviews by user

      Using it in thick on the forehand. My first impression was "the spin is insane!!" It's consistent. You can really load it up with spin, and if you have a solid impact, power drives are possible too. But even without much impact, just brushing it can put enough spin on the ball to make your opponent overshoot.
      Compared to the X: speed goes to X, spin goes to 7, arc goes to 7, and 7 is the harder of the two, while X is more stable in topspin rallies. That said, it's not the kind of rubber that spins the ball for you like Tenergy does. Maybe more for hard hitters...

      Prince Imoli (Experience: 4〜5 years) A well-balanced Rakza series

      Reviews by user

      Spin: good, hold: good, control: so-so, speed: good
      Out of the whole Rakza lineup, I personally think this is the best one. After trying it, I found it to be a really well-balanced rubber.

    • Cool Max

      Cool Max (Experience: 11〜20 years) A rubber that responds honestly to your swing

      Reviews by user

      Both the bounce and the spin are a little weaker than Tenergy 05.
      If 05 is a razor, Rakza 7 is more like a machete.
      It doesn't have that "auto-pilot" quality Tenergy has —
      the ball just goes exactly as hard as you hit it.
      In short, it's an honest rubber. For better or worse, it never lies to you. You can always accept that every shot you hit is entirely on you.

      Reviews by user

      It's easy to use against backspin and easy to serve with, though it's sensitive to incoming spin. It's better suited for the forehand.
