    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.

      Naughty (Experience: 4〜5 years) Rakza 7 with excellent stability

      Reviews by user

      I normally use Rakza X Soft, but a family member of mine was using this Rakza 7, so I'm writing this review based on that.
      First, the difference from Rakza X Soft is the hardness - the 7 feels a bit softer to me. Though I think some people might find it hard.
      And once I actually hit with it, I realized the stability is amazing. By changing how you transfer your own power, it's easy to create contrast, and you can hit the ball exactly the way you intend. However, if your touch gets too weak you'll start getting more net mistakes, and if your footwork breaks down, mistakes creep in. The spin is very easy to put on the ball, and the topspin drive was great. I think it's pretty good on the attacking side. That said, I felt the blocking was a bit lacking - it tends to fly off somewhere when it receives the opponent's spin, so you have to cover for that with your own technique.
      With Rakza 7, the ball flies off based on the power you put in (hit hard for a strong ball, hit soft for a soft one), so I felt it was easy to create contrast. However, it's not a rubber that goes in automatically, so you need your own power. I'd recommend it for intermediate to advanced players.

      It's heavier than Rakza 7 Soft. But this one lasts longer, and it's a rubber I'd recommend for the forehand.

      Present revolution in the table tennis world (Experience: 4〜5 years) For spin-focused players

      Reviews by user

      It's no exaggeration to say this rubber was made for spin-focused, drive-dominant players. Anyone who uses it will feel the same way, I think. And I found it to be a wonderful rubber that a wide range of players, from beginners to advanced, can use.

      It's easy to put spin on the ball and easy to block with too. I think it's better on the forehand than the backhand. It's also inexpensive, so the value for money is excellent.

      Among German rubbers, it has really good grip on the ball and is on the heavier side. You can vary the power quite a bit depending on how strong your impact is. Hit hard and you get a fast, heavy ball; hit soft and you get a slow, light one. That's the difference from X. So I'd recommend it to people who can hit with a solid impact. If you buy it somewhere cheap you can easily get it under 4,000 yen, so it's inexpensive, lasts a long time, and offers really good value for money.

      Mikamikan ALC (Experience: 2〜3 years) Spin definitely bites!

      Reviews by user

      Topspin drive... you can control the spin and pace yourself
      Push... lots of spin but control is a bit tricky
      Stop... plenty of spin and it stops nice and short
      Flat hit... great if you hit it well
      Serve... spins really well

      I use a blade with special composite material, so the bounce got even better.
      It's also easy to put spin on the ball and easy to handle even with a wood blade,
      so I think it's good!

      Meat broke (Experience: More than 20 years) Pretty decent, I'd say

      Reviews by user

      Both the spin and speed are better than Sriver - I thought it was the strongest high-elasticity rubber out there. Though not quite as much as Rakza PO, from the same Rakza series.
