Yuu.Cutman (Experience: ２〜３ years) A quirky ball unlike Chinese tacky rubber

I think this is a tacky rubber that doesn't bounce very much. So I felt it would be better on an outer blade. This time I hit with it paired with an all-wood blade, and it really didn't bounce much. In exchange, it was easy to control.
Also, it has a different quirk from full-on Chinese rubbers like the Hurricane, and it produces balls that are pretty hard for opponents to handle. Sometimes you get a drive with a straight trajectory that still has a ton of spin, and sometimes you get a knuckle ball — it produces shots that are unique to this rubber.
I'd recommend it since it can produce shots you won't get from any other rubber!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It really puts a ton of spin on the ball, but it flies too high, so I overshot a lot. The speed feels a bit slow-ish, but when everything clicks, the ball comes out really fast. Sometimes it would drop unexpectedly, but for the most part I could hit normally.

Thick, backhand side
I'm not really someone who hits hard shots on my backhand — I mostly push and block.
I used to have VICTAS's Triple Extra on my backhand, and when I tried pushing with it, it was way easier to push than with tension rubber, so I decided I never wanted to go back to tension on my backhand.
But tacky rubbers tend to be hard, and maybe because of that, my blocking felt a bit less stable.
So next I tried the Rakza Z, and the ease of pushing was just as good as other tacky rubbers, but since it's relatively soft, my blocking became stable again too.
So I have no intention of switching away from this rubber on my backhand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

My first rubber was Tenergy 05, then I used the Rakza 7 (a cheaper option), but I kept wanting more spin. The Rakza Z fits my style perfectly.
As I kept improving, I bought the Rakza Z Extra Hard for my forehand. It's a fantastic combo for an aggressive player who values spin over speed.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

The rubber's weight felt a bit heavy at 55g for the thick version, but the spin is great and it has decent speed too, so it's easy to use. Even when I backed off the table, I could still return with fast drives. Drives against backspin were good too. The one drawback is the receive.
Overall, it's easy to use.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

If you use a tacky-rubber stroke — closing the racket over the ball and swinging right at the moment of contact — you get seriously good shots. Counters also drop if you take them late, but if you take the ball early, they go in deep and fast. It's easy to use the incoming spin of your opponent's shot. Chiquita flicks also get plenty of spin on them. The downside is the rubber alone doesn't have much bounce, so it might be tough for people switching over from tension rubber for their serves.

I quite like this one.
The sheet is soft, so it's easy to handle, and when you hit it hard, it feels like it goes in reliably.
Compared to the Glayzer 09C, I prefer the Rakza Z.
I feel like the Glayzer 09C gives a lighter ball with less spin.
This was my first time using a tacky rubber, but I got used to it right away.
It has that tacky-rubber ease in the short game, while still flying properly even when you back off the table.
It's inexpensive, so it's worth trying at least once.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
