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!

The ball sinks in just the right amount and control is good.
The sheet is on the hard side, but you get more stability by letting the ball sink in rather than just brushing it.Serve
Takes some knack to put spin on it. If you let the ball sink in and use a compact swing, you get spin.
With the same swing, if you let the ball sink in and release quickly, you can produce a knuckle serve that's hard to read.Push
A bit tricky, but if you catch the ball thin with a fast swing, you get a shot that's hard to read the line on.Stop (short push)
Just stopping the ball is easy enough, but if you try to add spin you have to use the same technique as a push — which is the hard part.Chiquita
Thanks to the hardness of the sheet, it's stable.
Both strong-topspin speed shots and strong-sidespin variation shots are easy to hit.Flick
Rather than flicking, chiquita or a short-game topspin drive gives more power and more stability. Since there's a risk of the ball sinking in oddly and going long, I don't really use flicks except on easy balls.Plenty of reviews already cover how good this rubber is for topspin rallies, so I deliberately focused on the short game, which is probably the trickier part. Needless to say, it's excellent for extended rallies too.

I used to use this.
The top sheet is hard, and it was a rubber where it's difficult to sink the ball in and hit. So I'd recommend it to power hitters with a fast swing. It didn't suit me.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Works well on both forehand and backhand.
That said, the sheet is a bit hard, so if you're going to use it on the backhand,
I think it's better suited to someone with a fair amount of confidence in their game.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I was surprised how soft it felt on the forehand. On the backhand it arcs the ball automatically, so I highly recommend it there.

I used this for about 3 years.
It has good speed, but I feel like it's hard to generate much spin.
It's a bit on the hard side, so I think it's tough unless you really let the ball sink into the sponge.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Used at max thickness.
Drives are easy to hit and consistent.
You can put a decent amount of spin on the ball no matter what technique you're using.
But serves alone were difficult.
The backhand is better than the forehand.
Personally I think it suits the backhand more...All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I test-hit this on a chopper's blade.
Forehand only.
The drive is a pretty ordinary drive. It made a decent arc.
For hitting against backspin, brushing the ball works better than hitting it hard, and you get a good shot.
Overall it felt like an all-around rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use DEFENSIVE CLASSIC
