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 used this on my forehand. Paired with a Tornado King blade, loop drives get a lot of spin and the ball feels heavy!
Serves didn't grip that much, though that might just be because of my own poor technique.
It lasts a long time too, so I recommend it!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I've been using this on my forehand for about two years. I switched between this and V15 Extra, so I'll compare them at key points.
The biggest strength is definitely the drive — the trajectory dips down sharply once it reaches the opponent's court. Drives that would get blocked or countered with V15 often punch through with Rakza X. There's a strong gripping feeling, and you can drive stably even from mid-distance, which gives you a real edge in rallies. I think it's ideal for drive players with a strong impact who brush the ball. That said, stops are difficult — a stop that would bounce twice on the table with V15 sometimes flies off the end of the table with Rakza X, so it's a bit too lively there and needs some care.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is the rubber I used next after I couldn't get the hang of Tenergy. At first it felt hard, but once I actually hit a drive, it was so easy to use that it more than made up for the hardness, and I got hooked. Drives against backspin are surprisingly stable. If you feel like you've got the basics down, give this one a try. I'd say it's more of a third or fourth rubber to own.

I use Rakza X on my forehand, and it's an easy rubber to use since it generates a lot of spin with a nice high arc. Drives get plenty of power too, and the short game is easy. Out of all the rubbers I've used, I think this is a very strong one.

Above all, it generates a ton of spin. The way it spins isn't a light "squeak" off the surface — it's more of a solid "grab" with the whole rubber. Once you're able to drive to a certain level, I think you'll find it feels really great.

Compared to Rakza 7, I feel like this one flies a bit more on its own rather than you having to drive it yourself.
Speed is also easier to get out of it than with the 7.
Spin is easier to generate, but the 7 has a higher ceiling for spin.
If you think the 7 feels a bit too hard, trying the X might be just right for you.
Considering the value for money, I think it's a good rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Basically, you can do anything with it.
Drives especially are amazing.
The short game is also easy, and honestly you can do everything with it.
That said, it's hard, so I think it's better once you're already able to generate a decent amount of spin.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
