    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Despite its 55-degree hardness rating, the actual feel is softer than expected with an easily compressing sheet. This rubber excels in rotation performance when basic techniques are solid, but requires familiarity and adapts significantly based on hitting style.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Softer feel than hardness rating suggests with excellent sheet compression
    • Exceptional rotation performance ideal for serves and loop drives
    • Particularly suited for backhand with balanced stability and power
    • Performance improves significantly with extended use and proper maintenance
    • Flight distance varies greatly depending on drive technique
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveAs you use it, the sheet becomes more compressive and develops unique sticky characteristics, becoming an excellent rubber. With careful storage and maintenance, this rubber will truly shine.

      Left-handed beginner chopper (Experience: 2〜3 years) Tough until you get used to it

      Reviews by user

      It's harder than I expected.
      I struggled to get spin on my serves. Once you get used to it I don't think it's a problem at all.
      It's easy to attack with, and the short game over the table is effortless. Chops come out sharp as expected.
      I switched over from Hurricane, so at first the ball felt like it was flying off on me a bit, but once you get used to it, it's not a problem at all.

      sarah (Experience: 11〜20 years) The German version of 09C

      Reviews by user

      I bought this thinking it would be a hard tacky rubber, but it was softer than I expected. As a rough guide, I'd say it's about as hard as Dignics 09C. The tackiness is weak, similar to Hurricane's slight tackiness, so it doesn't give you much of that "wobbly ball" effect. If you hit it German-style, really sinking the ball into the sponge, you get a lot of power, and if you brush it, you get a drive that sinks and draws a nice arc. I think this is basically a forehand rubber, but if you want stability on the backhand, or you're a powerful hard hitter, it could work on the backhand too. I'd also recommend it to people who want spin stronger than a tension rubber, or people using tacky rubbers like Hurricane who want more speed.

      Kinkii Maybe the pinnacle of tacky high-tension rubber

      Reviews by user

      Put this on the Z side of an Ice Cream Inner blade, used on my backhand.
      I'd been using Rakza Z right before this, and it didn't feel nearly as hard as the 55-degree rating would suggest — very easy to use.

      As you'd expect from a tacky rubber, push shots and loop drives grip like crazy. The sheet grabs the ball firmly and holds it well, so it's easy to control and I never got that feeling of the ball flying off on me.
      Serves are also very easy to produce. Long serves might be a bit of a weak point though.

      If you really drive through the ball with a strong impact, almost meeting it flat, you get a fast ball that's a world away from how tame it feels on a push. That sensation feels more like a tension rubber than a tacky one at that point — you don't really get knuckleballs from it.
      Drives against backspin also come up very easily, so it's easy to hit heavy-spin drives.

      Blocking is versatile too — whether you stretch it out, stop it dead, or add curve, whatever impact and angle you use translates straight to the ball.
      That said, it's not the type that automatically gives you a good return or randomly produces knuckleballs — it really feels like you have to control everything manually.

      Much easier to use on the backhand than the forehand.
      I was torn between switching to Dignics 09C because Rakza Z didn't have enough bounce for me, but I think I can be happy with this one for a while.

      Anonymous (Experience: 4〜5 years) Ball with a twist

      You get really nasty knuckleballs off this one ^_^
      Serve spin is also excellent and it's an easy rubber to loop drive with too.
