I'm a short-pips chopper, and like the rest of the Rakza series, I didn't feel it had a particularly strong bounce.
I mainly use it on the backhand, and if you really draw the ball in before chopping, you get a very sharp chop. Personally, I found it easy to shut down my opponent's attacks on the forehand.
For attacking, you can hit a normal drive as long as you slow the swing speed down a bit, but if you swing fast the ball slips off. It doesn't produce much speed.
The black sheet is very stable and easy to control, so I found it easy to move the ball side to sideAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Racket recommended use Waldner Senso Carbon

Since the sheet and sponge are on the harder side, this is a pretty easy-to-use rubber among short pips, but in exchange it's hard to vary the pace with things like knuckle balls. Because it has a lot of bounce, blocks tend to sail long until you get used to the right racket angle. It's on the easier side for putting spin on the ball, but nowhere near as much as inverted rubber, so you should go for the win with fast speed drives.

My first impression was that it feels similar to Nittaku's Zult. The ball sinks in well, so meet-hitting and flicking-style strokes are easy to pull off. It has good bounce, but it's still easy to control the ball, and pushes and stops are no problem either.

Being a tension rubber, it's true to form — really fast
I'd never used a tension rubber before, so it surprised me
And it's not just fast — the spin feels good too, and it's easy to control
I think it's a very easy rubber to useAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Racket recommended use Mizutani Jun Super ZLC

A short pips rubber with nothing to complain about
I'm glad I got to meet such a great rubber.
If there's one thing that bothers me, it's that even though it's short pips, it's still affected by the opponent's spin.
Other than that, it's a rubber with nothing to complain aboutAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Racket recommended use Streak RH

I paired this with a Ma Lin Hard Carbon (Chinese-style) blade.
I expected it to feel soft when I put it on, but the feel is actually a bit hard?
As a lot of people have written, the spin is the best you'll find among short pips — from sharp serves to sharp pushes
You can even get powerful drives out of it despite being short pips. On the other hand, it also produces a lot of knuckle balls.
At first I felt it was a hard rubber to handle, but the more I got used to it, the more I came to like it.
It seems to give opponents a really annoying ball to deal with.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use MA LIN HARD CARBON

The spin on Rakza PO is insane for a short pips rubber. And yet it still produces knuckle balls.
Personally, I think it's the strongest short pips rubber out there.
I'd also recommend it to anyone thinking of switching from inverted rubber to short pips.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use HURRICANE LONG
