    RAKZA X table tennis rubber from Yasaka is the latest addition to the popular and highly successful RAXZA series of Yasaka rubbers. The top sheet is a mainly natural rubber gum, employing a new production method.
    The result is a top surface with exceptional grip enabling both phenomenal spin and speed. These qualities reduce the margin for error. This top sheet is then combined with a harder “Power Sponge”. The resulting combination of a faster sponge and high grip top sheet enables you to place the ball accurately with a high degree of success.
    Serves and short returns are both very sharp, similar to the Rakza 7 and Rakza 9.
    RAKZA X – yet another winning combination from Yasaka!

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised for excellent grip strength and spin performance, while the hard sheet and requirement for swing speed are challenges. Recognized as a mid-to-advanced rubber suited for drive-type players and power hitters.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Strong grip force makes spin easy to apply
    • Hard sheet requires feeding the ball properly
    • Designed for players with fast swing speed
    • Stable for drives and close-to-net techniques
    • Durability somewhat short at 2-3 months
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveNaturally creates arcs and feels softer despite hard rating. With strong grip, it's ideal for spin-focused players and produces power proportional to swing speed.
    ▽ CriticalParticles lifted and sheet became slippery after 2-3 months of use. Short durability and requires proper engagement to produce adequate ball lift.

      Rakuza X (Experience: 2〜3 years) Intense spin!!

      Reviews by user

      I use this one too, and the amount of spin is incredible. It's really easy to get a nice arcing trajectory!

      One side warrior (Experience: More than 20 years)

      Reviews by user

      Back in the celluloid ball era, I used Rakza 7.
      Now I use Rasant Power Grip, but I felt it lacked distance, so I tried this one out.
      The spin is a bit lower than Power Grip, but I still think it's at a high level.
      If you sink the ball in a little as you hit, it really flies, so you can drive even from away from the table.
      On receives, the ball pops out with a bang, so I felt it takes practice to stop it small.
      The bounce is about the same as Evo MX-P.
      Overall (bounce and spin), I think this is a high-level rubber, so I'd suggest Japanese penhold players who only use one side try it out.

      Bisukaria A model-student rubber

      Reviews by user

      With Tenergy prices going up, this is a rubber that's selling really well right now. From using it, I felt its performance is not inferior to Tenergy at all. People say it's similar to Tenergy 05, but personally I'd put its performance somewhere between 05 and 80. It doesn't spin quite as much as 05, but it can produce more speed than 05, so overall I'd place its performance between 05 and 80. It has great grip, and the ball basically never just drops off the racket. That said, rubbers with this much grip are harder to serve with. Because the ball sits on it so well, it's hard to brush thinly. 05 is the same way, so I'd recommend this to players who already have solid spin technique ♪

      Yutchi @ cut Rubber for advanced players

      Reviews by user

      This is definitely not a rubber for beginners. It's hard, and when your form breaks down there's zero sense of security. But when you're in good position and can swing through properly, it produces really great shots!
      I think an advanced player who uses their legs well and has good body sense could bring out this rubber's full performance! I'd avoid outer-fiber blades — go with an inner-fiber or all-wood blade instead... Its chopping performance is high. Since it's hard, the ball doesn't push it around! The sheet grips the ball for spin, so I'd also recommend it to counter-attacking choppers!

      The sound of the ball off the rubber is pleasant, and it's more than easy enough to use. Unless your blade uses a special material, you might feel the bounce is a bit lacking. Despite its listed hardness, it doesn't actually feel hard, and it grips the ball firmly. It's outstanding in topspin rallies. You get more speed by brushing upward rather than swinging straight forward. If anything, it might suit the backhand better.

      With this kind of balance and this much power,
      most people will be satisfied!
      Because the balance is so good, it's easy to take control in topspin rallies.
      The balance is great, but since it's a Hybrid Energy rubber,
      the more power you put in, the more power you get out.
      Why not give it a try?

      Drive Man (Experience: 2〜3 years) Rubber used by player Jin Koya

      Reviews by user

      Paired with the Ma Lin Extra Special FLA, you get the same setup as pro player Koya Jin.
      You can hit consecutive drives with stable spin!
