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 use this on the backhand side, paired with a tacky rubber on the forehand.
One feature is that the sheet doesn't slip, so I can create exactly the arc I'm picturing. It's relatively easy to use even for tacky-rubber users. Where this rubber really shines is in the short game — it's easy to make fine adjustments, so you can return short serves and use stops with a lot of variety. Since it's on the harder side, blocks where you just let the ball hit the rubber don't have much power. It won't drop the ball into the net, but unlike a strong tension rubber, it's not the type that auto-returns the ball for an easy counter. Rubbers like Tenergy or Extra change performance depending on how you catch the ball, but this one doesn't demand a particular hitting style, which I think makes it a good rubber that suits a lot of players.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Max thickness, 50g.
・Great grip on the ball! Grips like Tenergy 05!
・The sheet is hard, so pushes and stops sit down nicely. Spin that's not far behind Rakza 7!
・Really easy to get the ball onto the opponent's table! Easy to produce the shot you're picturing!
I've decided to make this my main rubber.
It's not the highest-performing rubber out there, but I love it for being "a hard rubber that's still super easy to use."
It's hard and grips the ball with plenty of spin, sinking it in nicely, yet it's still easy to handle!
I think it's probably designed so that whatever swing or impact you use, it naturally forms an arc and lands on the opponent's side.
Compared to Dignics 05, the speed and spin fall a bit short, which is a minor complaint.
But compared to Butterfly's rubbers, it's far easier to handle, and I think it suits the backhand well.
I'd recommend using it on the backhand to take advantage of how manageable it is.
Hope this helps.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I had this mounted on a 72g Ray Gund blade. It's outstanding equipment for people with a fast swing speed. Even lifting a return against a chop comes up without any struggle.

I used to use this before, so here's a quick rundown of my impressions:
It's pretty easy to use — the reason being that it's not as hard as its stated hardness suggests, so it's quite stable! Another good point is that flick/punch-type techniques have a lot of power, and it feels kind of like a German rubber to me. The downsides are that loop-style drives tend to come out shallow with less spin, so they don't seem to affect the opponent much, and the lifespan is short. In my case, after two months the pips started lifting and the sheet went dry and slick, making it unusable, but overall I'd say it's a pretty decent rubber!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I got quite a lot of spin with it.
Among inverted rubbers, I got the impression it isn't affected much by incoming spin.
It was the best rubber for putting on spin without being affected by the opponent's spin.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Just as the manufacturer's ads claim, the grip is amazing.
Also, the more power you put in, the more power you get out.
If you can swing properly, I think you can produce a really good ball with lots of spin, but conversely, bringing out its performance requires swing speed, so I gave up on it myself.
One more thing worth mentioning: the chiquita is unusually easy to do with this rubber. If you can get a solid impact, it might be good on the backhand too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I'm someone who dislikes tension rubbers, but this is the first time I've thought a tension rubber was truly wonderful! Every single technique was outstandingly easy to pull off! (Especially counters)
