    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.

      Bird head (Experience: Less than a year) Great ball hold

      Reviews by user

      That gripping feeling when you brush upward is really satisfying. It grips well on serves too. If you swing with full force, it can sometimes go long. Bottom line, it's a rubber that generates a lot of spin.

      WAON Generates real power

      Reviews by user

      First of all, the spin it generates is amazing.
      The speed is more than satisfactory.
      Drives especially are easy to hit — you get spin and power both.

      Lacquer (Experience: 2〜3 years) Very quirky

      Reviews by user

      First off, it's hard.
      It takes quite a while to get used to.
      Whether you brush it or sink it in, you get more than enough spin.
      If you catch the ball solidly, you get an amazing shot.
      Drive: 15 points
      Block: 12 points
      Smash: 10 points
      Serve: 12 points
      Used on the forehand
      Basically, if you can handle it properly, it's a rubber that can do anything.
      I'd recommend it to players with a fast swing speed whose drives land consistently.

      It's easy to generate spin with and really easy to use overall. Since switching to this rubber, I've started winning at tournaments too.

      Rakuza strongest (Experience: 2〜3 years) Amazing power

      Reviews by user

      I used it on both my forehand and backhand.
      I used the thick version, and it flies really well and is suited to topspin rallies too. On the backhand, the power of the chiquita is amazing — I think it works well on both forehand and backhand.
      One more thing: it's heavy.

      goma (Experience: 4〜5 years) A hard, high-performance rubber!

      Reviews by user

      You can hit drives with lots of spin and speed! Sink the ball in and you get a flatter, more linear trajectory; brush it and you get a high arcing trajectory — so it has properties close to a tacky Chinese rubber. Right after applying it I didn't feel any hardness, but after about two months it started to feel hard, and the ball stopped sinking in and spin dropped off. So the lifespan wasn't as long as I'd hoped. That said, right after applying it, it was really easy to use, so give it a try!

      I like table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to use lol

      Reviews by user

      It grips the ball well and generates good spin.
      It also holds the ball nicely — I like that about it.
      For people who struggle on the backhand, pairing Rakza X with a Matsuken blade works really well.
      So I'd say it's more of a backhand rubber!
