  • Rakza 7 Soft

    User review

    My first impression was that it bounces surprisingly well. Also, the ball-holding feel is poor for its hardness.
    I got the impression the spin bites well, but not as much as Tackifire C.
    Even in forehand rallies, the slightest change in racket angle makes spin get applied on its own.
    I also felt it was easily affected by the opponent's spin.
    Drives are stable and easy to hit, but the spin doesn't seem to be as much as the spec sheet suggests. I didn't use it enough to judge its durability, and since replacement frequency depends on skill level, practice time, and how often you play matches, I can't say for sure how long it lasts, but looking at how often other people replace it, it seems to be under a third of the lifespan of Tenergy-series rubbers.

  • KOJI MATSUSHITA

    User review

    Note that I switch rubbers a lot, so take this as just a rough reference.
    It's said to have been designed with the Koji Matsushita PM (the successor to the Defense Pro) in mind, but it feels similar yet different. Comparing the V Koji Matsushita (91g) to the Defense Pro (89g): the V holds the ball well and has good flex, so it generates more spin, but in exchange the power on attacking shots is a bit weaker.
    Since most of the blades actually on the market weigh over 90g, if you use inverted rubber on both sides for an offensive style, the total weight ends up close to 200g. It's a good blade, so I think even beginner choppers can use it.
