    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.

      It's on the hard side, so I don't think you get much power unless you hit it hard.
      Also, the rubber itself is heavy.

      I felt like the biggest strength of this rubber is that every technique feels easy to pull off.
      Unlike tension rubbers, the ball only flies as much as the force you put into it, so it was a strange feeling — it stays under control on the short game, but when you attack, you still get fast, spinny shots.
      I'm also satisfied with the amount of spin you get on serves and the like.

      If I had to name a downside, it's that people who aren't confident in their impact might find it hard to handle.
      I struggled myself when playing further from the table, since the ball wouldn't fly the way I wanted.
      For players like that, I think going with the Soft version is the better choice.

      Reviews by user

      The speed is decent and the spin is amazing, but it's a bit on the hard side, so you need to hit it hard to get any power out of it.

      A mouse Easy to spin, and the spin is strong

      Reviews by user

      This rubber really puts a ton of spin on your topspin drives.
      The arc is always high, so you can give your opponent balls that are hard to deal with.
      I definitely recommend using it in max thickness.

      I think Rakza 7 Soft works really well on the backhand side. The control is better than advertised, and it's easy to switch between topspin drives and smashes.

      I hate straight. (Experience: 2〜3 years) The spin when brushing the ball is insane.

      Reviews by user

      Rakza 7 pairs really well with special material blades. It took me a while to get used to it for the short game, but after using it for about a month, I found it easy to use for topspin drives and blocks off the table too.
      I use it on my forehand, and I struggled with stops in the short game and drives against backspin, but I got better with practice.
      I'm not great at serving, but I felt like I started winning more points off my serves.
      I'd recommend it for the forehand of a 5-ply special material blade.

      The harder you hit, the better the shot you get. In that sense, I think it suits players who have muscle and a fast swing speed.
      It feels less like a rubber that sends the ball off on its own and more like one where you have to send it off yourself.
      The arc is high, so it seems like it would work better mounted on a blade with special composite material rather than an all-wood blade.
      I think you get spin in proportion to how much you put into it.
      Considering the value for money and everything, I think it's a really good rubber.
