    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.

      Cool Max (Experience: 11〜20 years) A cheaper version of Tenergy 05

      Reviews by user

      In terms of speed, spin, and how automatically things come together, it's like a budget version of Tenergy 05 — a Tenergy 05 for the everyday player.
      It's easy to handle, and might work well on either forehand or backhand.

    • Table tennis best!

      Table tennis best! (Experience: 2〜3 years) Feels good!

      Reviews by user

      I used this on a Butterfly SK Carbon blade. Just swinging normally, almost everything goes in. It gets a decent amount of spin, and the speed is quite fast too. I think anyone from beginners to advanced players can use it. Why not give it a try and buy
      one?

      Junin (Experience: 4〜5 years) For how hard it is

      Reviews by user

      On light hits it feels hard, but on strong shots like drives it feels really soft and is easy to control. The sheet is also strong on counters, so it doesn't lose out against the opponent's ball, which makes it really easy to use. For fine touches like serves and stops, the rubber is hard with strong grip, so those were very easy too. That said, as I mentioned, light touches feel hard, so if your body position isn't right the ball can come out flat and dead or you'll make mistakes, and the rubber itself is quite heavy. I'd recommend it for people with a strong impact and plenty of power.

      Winner (Experience: 6〜10 years) Great for a dwell-focused swing

      Reviews by user

      Especially if you really sink the ball into it, you can hit fast topspin drives with good spin. If you're switching over from a tension rubber it feels a bit quirky at first, but once you get used to it you start to like the feeling of really driving the ball yourself. It's also on the cheaper side among the newer spin-oriented rubbers, so I felt like I got a good deal.
      That said, I'd heard it lasts a long time, but the sheet started getting slippery pretty quickly. The sponge is strong so it's not much of a problem for drives, but with my stroke it got harder to put spin on my serves. I think part of that is because I was using it during a humid time of year.

      Reviews by user

      The grip is amazing, it's great. The serves really bite too. I think it's a bit difficult for beginners — better suited to intermediate to advanced players.
      This rubber requires strength, so I'd recommend it for people with power!

      edokko (Experience: 4〜5 years) Power-focused rubber for advanced players

      Reviews by user

      Including the sheet, the hardness is 48.5°, so both the sponge and the sheet are hard. Because of that, the power on hard shots is more than enough. The ball leaves the rubber a bit quickly, so I think this is for advanced players who can generate their own power. I think it suits people who really crank forehand topspin drives. Not recommended for beginners or intermediate players.

      Curry (Experience: 2〜3 years) Maybe the best rubber I've used

      Reviews by user

      Drives with this rubber are very stable, making it perfect for drive-oriented players. I think the max-thickness sponge is the way to go. A drive where you really grab and spin the ball works better than one where you just brush it lightly. It lasts about four months. I think I'll keep using this rubber for a while.
      Sorry for the long review.
