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!

I'd been using Rakza 7 up until now, but since we're moving into the plastic ball era, I decided to switch to Rakza X. The first thing I noticed was that the ball-holding and grip are the best out of all the rubbers I've used so far. When I drive, the ball arcs nicely and flies, and it keeps extending even after bouncing on the table — if someone just blocks it back normally, it goes flying off somewhere lol. That said, the drive is more spin-focused with only moderate speed, so it's hard to blow it past someone untouched — I think this suits a style where you trade drives and grind out the point instead. The serves also bite well, and personally I liked the sidespin serves best. Overall, I felt this suits drive-oriented players who want to focus more on spin and grind out points.

Junior high school fledgling Similar to Tenergy

This rubber is similar to Tenergy, but the difference is that it's hard — like, really hard!
I'd always used the softest rubbers I could find, so I thought I'd made a mistake going with a hard one...
but once I got used to it, I thought it was a really great rubber. Since Tenergy prices keep going up, why not try this instead?All Speed Spin Control

I really like that it lets me produce exactly the shot I'm going for.
The grip is amazing — both spin and speed are more than enough.
Why not give it a try?All Speed Spin Control

Hitting forehand shots, the first thing I noticed was how strong the grip is. It's not quite tacky-level, but it grips the ball a lot more than the tension rubbers from a bit earlier.
Thanks to that strong grip, topspin-drive techniques are really easy to pull off. Looping against short pushes in particular is super easy. Even with a bit of an arm-only swing, the ball still arcs nicely and flies stably.
I found this a really easy rubber to use.All Speed Spin Control

The blade I used is the Wa no Kiwami Ao.
Being built for the plastic ball, the shot speed was a bit low, but the spin felt great and I could hit drives with a nice arcing trajectory.
I felt it was easier to use on the backhand, if anything.
The ball rarely dropped during topspin rallies or when receiving over the table.All Speed Spin Control
