    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a sticky tension rubber combining excellent spin and speed performance. However, its high hardness and weight make it challenging for beginners and weaker players, requiring sufficient power and driving technique to use effectively.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional spin performance enabling heavy, powerful drives
    • Impressive speed despite being a sticky rubber
    • Excellent control for fine techniques like chipping and tweaking
    • Requires significant power; designed for hard hitters
    • Reasonable price with excellent cost-performance ratio
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite its high hardness, it's manageable to use. The sticky sheet combined with hard sponge delivers the best of both worlds—sticky rubber advantages plus strong speed output.
    ▽ CriticalVery heavy and hard, causing shoulder pain that made it impossible to continue using. Disappointed that only extra-thick size is available without other thickness options.

      It gets spin, and balancing that with speed is amazing!! It's easy to hit and it draws a nice arc‼️ The ball-holding feel was good too, considering how hard it is. Best rubber ever

      I test-hit one sheet of Rakza Z and one of Rakza Z Extra Hard (called "Hard" below).

      The top sheet mold (name) is "Rakza Z" on both, but the sponge color is different. Rakza Z has a cream-colored sponge, while Hard has an orange one.

      My first impression was that the ball flies up. The arc is high, and I overshot at first. Once I got used to it, I could control it by closing the racket angle. Here's a breakdown by technique.

      1. For the topspin drive, the ball is deep and high. Even with the racket angle closed, it still lands in the opponent's court.

      2. For hitting against backspin, you need the right angle, swing speed, and power. Especially with Hard, if your swing isn't fast enough, you'll hit the net.

      3. For long rallies and smashes, it felt more focused on arc than on speed or spin. You need power to punch through.

      4. Pushes and stops grab spin well over a short distance. Because of that, it also picks up the opponent's spin.

      5. As for other short-game techniques: flicks are more about just getting the ball in than being low and sharp. I don't have the technique for chop or chiquita, so I couldn't test those.

      I think it pairs well with a plywood blade or with special-material inner-type blades.
