I'd been using the Shoryu, but felt it wasn't quite enough, so I switched to the Rakza Z.
My impression is that it feels like the Shoryu with extra spin and speed added on top.
I was looking for an easy-to-use tacky rubber, so personally I'd recommend it. I want to keep using it a bit longer to really bring out its performance.The trajectory goes up quite a bit.
After using tension rubber, you'll be surprised how much you overshoot the table.
Since I play close to the table with short pips on the backhand, I've been aiming for a compact swing, so right now I'm practicing with about half my usual swing. Topspin against backspin goes in with a swing of about 2-3 racket-lengths.Also, since it leans quite heavily toward tacky rubber, you need physical strength and swing speed.
Honestly, the speed is slow.
It suits players who build up points through rallies rather than trying to blast the ball through in one shot.Serves are easy to do.
If you just touch the ball on the receive, you'll net it almost every time. You need a proper swing to receive it.It'll probably take a bit more time to master, but the grip you get when brushing the ball is outstanding, so I think I'll shape my playing style around this rubber.

It's very soft and the ball really sinks into the sponge — I think it's more stable than the previous Rakza series. It's perfect for people who want stability and spin on the backhand, or a soft rubber with plenty of spin for the forehand.

I'd been using Rozena, and decided to try stepping into tacky tension rubber, so I bought this.
It doesn't feel that different from tension rubber — more like a tension rubber with a bit of tackiness added.
Topspin drives get plenty of spin and go in.
Personally, I feel like I can put solid spin on my serves with it.
The rubber hardness rating is high, but it doesn't feel that hard.
I'd recommend this rubber to tacky-rubber beginners, or anyone who wants to try tacky tension rubber.

This is a review from someone who normally uses tension rubber.
・The feel isn't as hard as the hardness rating suggests.
When you hit it, you get a soft "thud" feeling where the ball sinks slightly into the rubber.
・The arc is very high.
・It's not especially easy to put spin on the ball.
・Even hitting backspin balls hard close to the table, it goes in easily.
・Because it's slightly tacky and has a high arc, the speed isn't that fast. You need to use a blade with some pop.
・To bring out its performance, you have to use a tacky-rubber stroke.
If you normally use tension rubber, you might feel like the arc is high, but the spin isn't amazing and it's not particularly easy to generate spin either.
Unless you can play with a tacky-rubber stroke, I think it's hard to draw out this rubber's potential. (Myself included.)Compared to a normal tacky rubber, it's a lot easier to use.
For those who want to counter-attack with topspin close to the table, it's a great rubber for easily hitting backspin balls.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I'm using this on my backhand.
Some reviews say it's slow, but that's really not the case. When you brush the ball properly with the sheet, you get a lot of spin and the ball still has decent speed. Its best feature is how high the arc is. Even a light, flat hit sends the ball surprisingly high. I barely ever net the ball. Backhand topspin drives against backspin get tons of spin on them. It's easy to control too, so I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a tacky rubber but isn't sure which one to pick.

Right off the bat, this rubber grips the ball a lot.
Control is good too, it's just that the speed is a bit slow…
Spin-heavy techniques like serves and topspin drives are easy to pull off, but once you get into topspin rallies there's not much speed, so you just have to push through with spin.
The arc is high, so some people might need to rethink their strokes.
If you're used to tension rubber, you might feel like the speed isn't enough.

Pomeranian (Experience: ２〜３ years) The ball... flies way too high

I'm using this in max thickness right now, but... basically, expect almost no net misses from the ball flying up! The blade is a softer inner blade, so the feel is soft.
Topspin drives have a high arc and lots of spin. The short game, like pushes and stops,
is really easy to do compared to tension rubber
I can highly recommend this to anyone who struggles with net misses.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
