    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.

      Used on my forehand.
      My impressions:
      - It naturally draws an arc for you, making it easy to hit a stable, spinny drive
      - Despite its hardness, it feels soft, and meet-hits are easy too
      - Across various techniques, the spin is a notch above other rubbers

      It feels a bit heavy, but the top sheet is so solid overall that I'd recommend it to people who want to compete on spin.

      Table tennis Super good

      Reviews by user

      This is nothing short of amazing.
      The power you get scales with your swing, so people with strong muscles can produce a really heavy ball!
      For serves, brushing with a compact swing gives it good bite.
      Pairing it with this blade lets you produce a great ball, but I don't think it suits people who dislike the ball sitting on the rubber too much. Also, the grip on the ball is good, so the trajectory comes out high and stable.

      The grip is strong, so the ball sits on the rubber really well. Techniques over the table, like flipping a short backspin serve, were very easy to do. Also, since the arc is on the higher side, it feels stable. It can be used regardless of level, from beginners to advanced players, so I felt there's nothing to lose by using it!

      As other reviewers have said, it has a bit of a quirky character. If G-1 is the model student, this one is more like the glasses-wearing kid who's amazing only at math and science.
      That said, compared to Tenergy (the top-university student), it can produce balls that are hard for the opponent to return.
      It's also easy to control and reasonably priced, so it looks like it would be easy for beginners to use too.

      Although the rubber is hard, the feel when hitting is softer than I expected. Rather than a brushing stroke, a stroke that really sinks the ball in brings out this rubber's performance better. The distinction between a soft touch and a hard hit is very clear, so switching between the two is easy. That said, it is heavy, so that might be something to watch out for.
      Personally, I feel Rakza 7 has better balance and also lasts longer.

      Reviews by user

      What I noticed using it is that the short game is a bit iffy. The ball also tends to float up slightly. I wouldn't really recommend it for an endurance-type battle like chopping from a distance. However, techniques like drives, smashes, blocks, and counters are all easy to do. I'd recommend it for intermediate all-round players.

      Reviews by user

      This rubber is soft and very stable. However, it's heavy and hard to put spin on. And its lifespan is short.
      I practice 3 hours on weekdays and 3 to 8 hours on weekends every day, and after just two months of use a white streak appeared in the middle of the sheet.
      Also, when you hit the ball, there's no shock coming back through to your hand. So you don't really get a feel of actually hitting the ball. If you're someone who just wants to try it once, I think it's fine to go ahead and buy it.
