    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 use this on my backhand. Whether I'm close to the table or at mid-distance, the arc is high and the ball just keeps landing.
      The chiquita is easy to do too. Pushes bite well.
      What's easiest of all is blocking — since this rubber has an NSS (non-slip sheet), you don't get weird spin thrown at you, so you can swing it left and right and it's super easy to control
      A good rubber that gets spin and makes blocking easy

      Spin, spin, spin, that's what this is about.
      Long backspin serves are hard to produce until you get the knack for it,
      but for topspin drives, pushes,
      and blocks — there isn't a single technique
      that feels hard to do. Recommended for beginners through intermediate players.

      Reviews by user

      It's second to none for how easily you can put spin on the ball. But personally, I didn't think it worked for my forehand.
      That said, there's nothing on the backhand side it struggles with. Both the chiquita and the push get plenty of spin from the sheet's friction, and since the sponge is firm, blocks and counters don't get pushed around by the ball either.

      It pairs well with pretty much any blade. Though I don't think it suits something with a really soft feel like a chopper's blade.

      It suits playing styles that attack from the short game with both wings, and I think it also suits people who aren't confident on the backhand.

      Reviews by user

      I used it on my forehand. This rubber holds the ball on it for a really long time, so even without hitting it solidly it still lands in the opponent's court! The speed is so-so, but the spin is quite something! And the control was the best I've had out of anything I've used so far. It also traces a beautiful arc! It handles all kinds of techniques smoothly — smashes, counters, flicks, you name it! I'd recommend it to all sorts of players, from people without much power to close-to-the-table two-winged topspin drive players.

      Up until now I'd been using it on my forehand, and even though it's the Soft version, it's really good on forehand too. For people with less experience, I'd recommend Rakza X Soft.
      I think it's good to put it on both sides. If I had to nitpick, when your drive gets a little off, the ball goes long. But that's about it! Speed, spin, everything about it is the best!!

      Reviews by user

      After a test hit, the just-right bounce, the firm grip that really catches the ball, and how easy it is to put spin on it are all fantastic
      Why not give it a try?

      EK (Experience: 6〜10 years) A rubber that assists you well

      Reviews by user

      I used it on my forehand.
      Every technique is easy to pull off. In fact, it's a rubber that bumps up every shot by a whole level.
      Thanks to its medium hardness, even when my form was a bit off or incomplete, the ball still landed on the table properly. So for someone like me who can hit good balls in practice but rack up mistakes in matches, this rubber is really reliable.
      By the way, I tried it with both a composite blade and an all-wood blade — with the composite the speed and extension were more than satisfying, and with wood there was plenty of spin and weight on the ball; either way the power and stability were outstanding and it was easy to use.
      I think it's a rubber that's more suited to real match play and really good at backing you up.
