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!

Personally I think the performance is higher than G-1, but while G-1 suits pretty much any blade, Rakza X doesn't suit blades with a fast catapult.
Whether you brush it or hit it flat, the ball flies off firmly, but because the ball sits on the rubber well, the initial speed is on the slower side.
It's a bit hard to put spin on serves. Also, it's a bit heavy.
The top sheet is hard, so it's overwhelmingly resistant to chipping. (By contrast, the 7 chipped easily.)
When it's humid, it felt a bit tacky.
The ball goes in deep, so drives down the line are stable.It's like a G-1 that focuses on speed but still has good ball-holding.

Block, drive, meet-hit, counter
you can do absolutely everything you want. It's just too much of a genius rubber… though maybe it falls off a bit in backhand exchanges? (same for forehand) Maybe that's just me not having enough power lol
But smashes go in like crazy and they're fast too.
It's like, what even is this rubber. Though mine might have had a short lifespan? If you take proper care of it, I think it'll last just fine.
Definitely a rubber I'd recommend!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Counters were really easy to do, above all. But it's a shame the rubber wears out quickly. Recommended for people with power.

Surprisingly, Rakza X is more stable in max thickness, so I'd recommend max thickness! Of course, that does make the blade heavier though. If you don't want the extra weight, I think you should use Factive max thickness instead. (A heavier blade puts more mass behind the ball, which makes it tough for your opponent.) At first it flies way too much to be usable, but if you make good use of your impact, I think the trajectory will start obeying you. One of my teammates uses Rakza X, and apparently the difference in quality between when it's fresh and when it's worn out is huge though…

I used it on both sides.
I originally used tacky rubber on both sides, but I had no problem switching to this rubber‼️
First, the good points of this rubber are the grip on the ball and the control.
Energy loss with this rubber is kept to a minimum, so you get exactly as much spin as you put in yourself, which makes it stable.
The downside — which didn't bother me much since I was switching over from tacky rubber — is that it's affected a lot by incoming spin on things like blocks.
To sum up, I'd recommend this for advanced players who like to generate their own spin aggressively.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

My first impression using it was: it flies! And it's hard!
Since the sheet itself is hard, the serves and drives got quite a lot of spin.
Also, the arc is incredibly high, so lifting backspin balls on drives is easy, haha.
The short game is easy to handle too, haha.
It's very hard and heavy, so I wouldn't really recommend it to beginners.
A half-hearted swing feels like it catches on the net, so I'd recommend this for power hitters with muscle who can really crank their swing.
The short game is generally easy.
Though pushes did feel a little floaty.
If you're a drive player with power, why not give it a try?All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I tried this out mounted on a Brand B SK7.
To put it simply, it feels pretty hard/stiff to the touch. Despite that, it feels soft when you actually hit with it. But but, to get a powerful ball out of it you really need fast impact... lol, so in the end, I'd call it hard.
On drives, when you hit it hard, you get a really nice ball. Brushing gives a higher arc. Surprisingly, catching the ball gives a lower arc. Even from further back you can still crank out powerful balls. The distance is GOOD! In terms of feel, I think catching the ball might suit it better...? By the way, since it's hard and doesn't slip, brushing lightly is fine too. Block-counters pop off the rubber more than I expected, which gave a good impression — you never get pushed back at all. Well, that might partly be because it's paired with an SK7, lol.
Serves bite well too since you can brush the sheet. And for the short game, a hard rubber really is strong (^^)
Conclusion
Just as the heading says, this is for people with power. I can't recommend it to beginners. But if you can really hit the ball hard, I'd love for you to try it (^^) It's kind of like a version of the V15 Extra with a slightly higher arc?All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
