    RAKZA X is the first rubber with NSS (New Surface System), Yasaka’s new production process to improve the grip of the rubber surface. NSS gives a stronger touch when hitting the ball, and the control in both attack and blocking is improved.
    In RAKZA X Soft the same surface rubber is working together with a relatively soft sponge, Feel Sponge, with good catapult effect. The combination of the elastic sponge and high grip top sheet increase the the feeling and improves the control of your game.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The majority of reviewers highly praise the ease of imparting spin and control performance. However, many reviews point out insufficient speed, suggesting it is not suitable for power-oriented advanced players or hard rackets. It is recognized as a versatile, easy-to-use rubber for beginners to intermediate players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Soft sponge makes spin easy even for beginners
    • Backspin attacks are easy to lift with stability
    • Speed is modest, not suitable for power-focused players
    • Excellent control performance, usable on both forehand and backhand
    • Slightly shorter lifespan, whitening occurs around 3 months
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe balance between soft sponge and sheet strength is excellent, allowing high-spin shots with minimal effort. It performs well for beginners through intermediate players on both sides, making it a cost-effective classic rubber.
    ▽ CriticalThe speed is slow, and hitting techniques like drives and short strokes are difficult to execute. For powerful players, the reaction is insufficient, making it unsuitable for advanced levels.

      I put it on my backhand.
      Despite being called "Soft," it's not actually all that soft, so if you like something softer, the 7 Soft is probably a better choice.
      If you hit the sweet spot with a strong impact, you can produce a drive with both spin and speed. It draws a solid arc, so you can lift backspin balls with confidence.
      The Rakza series is also cheap, so if you're stuck on what to put on your backhand, I'd recommend trying the Rakza X Soft.

      Someone who has tried many kinds of rubbers. To me, the RAKZA X looks soft. It's a soft, glossy padded surface, but there's still a fast shifter for attack and defense. This isn't very effective. The surface should be durable. At a reasonable price, the RAKZA X Soft is an excellent choice for players.

      Ms. (Experience: 4〜5 years) Anyone can master it!!

      Reviews by user

      Serves get a ton of spin too, and I think even someone who's only been playing table tennis for 1-2 years could use it. It generates a decent amount of speed, control is pretty easy, and even a ball with heavy backspin on it can be lifted with just a slight upward swing. I think it pairs really well with blades that have Arylate-carbon in them. I'm currently using a Freitas ALC, and the match is great — my shots have become more consistent than before. I think this is the best rubber I've used so far!!

      Sendard's student (Experience: 4〜5 years) A rubber that balances drives and flat hits

      Reviews by user

      I'm using it at 1.8mm on my forehand.
      Overall, it's easy to handle.
      Drives are super stable, just like the catalog says.
      Both pushes and hitting against topspin give a high amount of spin.
      Meet-hitting also has a great feel and
      the ball lands right on the course I'm aiming for.
      It lasts a long time and has great value for money, so it's a rubber I highly recommend.

      No, it's garbage

      Reviews by user

      Hi, I'm a beginner.
      My review is aimed at people with 1-2 years of table tennis experience.
      I've used things like Rozena, Sriver EL, and Raygun before,
      and this was the easiest to use by far.
      Especially for drives. Serves also get plenty of spin. (It didn't last that long, though.)
      Smashes were fine for me since I'm good at them, but I can't recommend it to people who aren't. Control is also solid. I haven't tried a ton of rubbers yet, so my review might not be super reliable, but it's easy to use.

    • Drive man behind the back

      Drive man behind the back (Experience: 2〜3 years) It's a good rubber

      Reviews by user

      I used it as thick on my backhand. I figured it'd be soft, but at 42.5 degrees it's actually moderately firm. It also generates good speed. The spin really grabs too, thanks to the grip. Serves and short-game play are also easy. Nothing bad to say about it. I'd recommend it for the forehand of women and junior players. I'd also recommend it for the backhand of middle and high schoolers. That said, of course it won't produce as much speed as harder rubbers like the G-1 or the regular Rakza X.

      It's like that "this is exactly what I wanted" hamburg steak lunch vibe from Kodoku no Gurume (Solitary Gourmet).
      This is the rubber I settled on after trying all sorts of things like the V15 and Hurricane Kirin. The V15... that thing's a rocket launcher (eyes rolled back). What I like is that the satisfying "grab" feeling when you put spin on the ball comes through clearly. Away from the table it goes in easily one after another, but up close it sometimes flies out more than expected and catches the net. It's an honor-student rubber that suits the backhand well. Among spin-oriented tension rubbers, aside from Tenergy, I think this is the best answer right now. All that's left is practice.
