  Rakza X

  

  I tried this thinking it might suit my shakehand backhand, but my impression was that it's actually better suited to slapping on the forehand and swinging hard. The grip on hard shots is genuinely remarkable, but on weak impacts, the sheet's grip is small and I couldn't produce the ball I intended. On light taps, the rubber's grip felt weak, but depending on how you look at it, that also means it's less affected by the opponent's serve during a light-touch receive, so it felt like an easy rubber to receive with. For backhand techniques only, pushes and chiquitas had just the right amount of grip, so those were easy to do. That said, I felt you need a certain amount of power in your strokes to bring out the best in this rubber. It was also featured in the table tennis magazine Takkyu Oukoku (Table Tennis Kingdom), and the impression there too was that it's heavy and doesn't show its strengths with a light touch, making it a rubber that needs intermediate-or-higher skill — but I felt it would suit penholders who only put rubber on one side. Overall, I think this rubber suits players using plastic balls who want spin and speed.

  シェークのバックに合うかなということで試しみましたがどちらかというとフォアに貼ってガンガンに振るのが向いているラバーかなという印象でした。強打時の引っ掛かりの良さは特筆ものですが、弱インパクトではシートの引っ掛かりが小さく思ったボールが出せませんでした。軽打時ににはラバーのひっかっかりが少ない印象でしたが考えようによってはレシーブ時の軽いタッチの際は相手サーブのボールの影響を受けづらいラバーなのでレシーブがしやすいラバーのように感じました。バック技術だけですがツッツキやチキータは引っ掛りがちょうど良いラバーだったのでやりやすかったです。しかしこのラバーの特徴を最大限引き出すにはある程度の強打力が必要と感じました。卓球王国でも取り上げられていましたが重量が重い、軽いタッチではラバーの良さが出ないと中級者以上の技量が必要なラバーという印象でしたがペンホルダーの片面にしかラバーを貼らない人には向いているラバー用に感じました。プラボールで回転とスピードが欲しい方には向いているラバーだと感じました。

  VEGA TOUR

  

  Used it on my backhand (1.8mm). The rubber is soft, and my impression was that unless you really sink the ball into it, it doesn't fly.
  The grip on the sheet isn't bad, but the trajectory is flat and straight, which made it a bit hard to use.
  Maybe it was just bad timing, but during a humid summer day the rubber got slippery from the moisture and I kept dropping balls into the net, so I put it aside for a while.

  When I tried it on my forehand, the drive comes out low and flat, so I could hit drives that were hard to counter.
  My forehand drive normally has a bit of sidespin on it, which means it hangs in the air longer before reaching the opponent's side, giving them time to wait for it and counter-attack — that used to happen a lot.
  With Vega Tour, thanks to the low arc and fast ball speed, the ball reaches the table in the shortest time when I drive, so I get countered a lot less now.
  For ease of driving, Omega V feels more stable, but Vega Tour is better at making the ball hard for the opponent to handle.
  Personally I also like that it comes in a 1.8mm sponge thickness, which makes quick, reflexive shots easier.
  It's the "expensive Vega," but I found it easy to use and its performance is well worth more than the price.

  バックで使用(1.8mm)、ラバーが柔らかくラバーにくい込ませて打たないと飛んでくれない印象。
  シートの引っ掛かりは悪くないが弾道が直線的で使いにくかったです。
  たまたま時期が悪かったのかもしれないのですが夏場の湿気の量が多い日に湿気でラバーが滑ってボトボト球を落としてしまう事がありしばらく使っていませんでした。

  フォアで使ってみたらドライブが低く直線的な弾道のでカウンターされにくいドライブが打てます。
  自分のフォアドライブは少し横回転がかかっていて相手のコートのに到達するまでの対空時間が長いため相手に待つ時間を与えてしまいカウンターを打ち込まれてという展開が多かったです。
  ヴェガツアーは弧線が低く球速が早いお陰で球の相手がこちらのドライブ時に最短で台に届くのでカウンターされることが少なくなりました。。
  ドライブのやりやすさはオメガVの方が安定しましが、相手の取りにくさではヴェガツアーの方が上です。
  個人的にとっさの繋ぎがしやすいスポンジ厚が1.8mmがあるというのもポイントです。
  「お高いヴェガ」ではありますが、扱いやすく価格以上の性能を有しているヴェガだと思いました。

  Vega Asia

  

  Used on the backhand of a shakehand blade (1.8mm).
  I'd been trying all kinds of backhand rubbers - tacky ones, high-end models, you name it - and ended up here, with this rubber that bounces just the right amount and spins just the right amount, making it really easy to use.
  Since the sponge is thin at 1.8mm, I liked that instead of losing offensive power, my defensive skills and the stability of my connecting shots improved dramatically.
  That's not to say it has no offense, though - because I use a bouncy blade, my hard shots still have speed, and since the top sheet is soft, it grips the ball well, so I get plenty of spin on my drives.
  A junior from my university days told me, "Senpai, those high-end rubbers you use are expensive and don't last long - if you're an intermediate player, Vega is plenty. Rather than a high-end rubber you can't fully use, something easy to handle where you can use 100% of what it offers is enough for an intermediate player," so I gave it a try.
  Whatever it lacks in raw speed, you can make up for with your blade and body when you swing.
  For anyone who's gotten used to competitive table tennis, I think using this rubber and forming your own opinion of it can work as a benchmark - a way to figure out whether you want more spin or more speed, what kind of equipment is really "what I want."

  シェークのバックに使用(1.8ｍｍ)
  シェークのバックのラバーを色々変えていて、粘着やハイエンドモデルの物なども試していたのですが、程よく弾み、程よく回転がかかるとても使いやすいこのラバーに行き着きました。
  スポンジ厚が1.8ｍｍと薄いこともあって攻撃力低下よりも守備技術やつなぎ球の安定性が飛躍的に向上した所が気に入りました。
  ただ攻撃力がないわけではなくて弾むラケットを使用しているため強打のスピードとシートが柔らかいためシートで引っ掛けやすくドライブの回転量は充分出ます。
  大学時代の後輩から「先輩が使っているハイエンドラバーなんて値段高いし長持ちしないし中級者だったらヴェガで十分ですよ。使いこなせないハイエンドラバーよりも扱いやすくて100％のヴェガの性能を使いきれば中級者はこれで十分です」とのコメントをいただき使用してみました。飛ばない分はラケットと体を使って打てば十分いけます。
  競技卓球に慣れてきた人にはこのラバーを使用し感想を持ちこれをベースにしてより回転なおか、よりスピードなのかなどの「これが自分には欲しい」用具を見定める指標になるラバーだと思います。

  Rakza X Soft

  

  I tried this rubber while looking for something to put on the backhand of my shakehand racket. My impressions after a test hit: the feel is soft, it's light in weight, the grip from the sheet feels good, and for a soft rubber it still generates speed.
  I think it's a good rubber for anyone who wants speed and spin plus a bit more stability. It felt like a rubber that could work on both forehand and backhand.
  That said, in the end I decided I couldn't use this rubber. What gave me the most trouble was a defensive technique — when pushing, the softness of the sponge worked against me: the ball would sink into the sponge and then get launched back out still buried in it, without rebounding properly, which led to netting the ball over and over. To push properly, I had to swing while lifting the racket upward on contact, or the return wouldn't go well. This is a problem with my own skill, so it's a good rubber, it's just one I found I couldn't get along with or make work for me.
  The balance of speed, spin, and control is good, it's high-performance, and it's easy to handle, so I think it's a good rubber for anyone who wants something better than what they're currently using.

  シェークのバックに合うラバーを探す中でこのラバーを使用してみました。試打して感想が打感が柔らかい、重量が軽い、シートの引っ掛かり具合はいい感じ、柔らかいラバーにしてはスピードは出る。
  スピードや回転も欲しいし、安定感もプラスしたい方にはいいラバーだと思います。フォアでもバックでも使えそうな感じのラバーでした。
  なのですが、自分は結局このラバーは使えないと判断しました。一番困ったのは守備技術、ツッツキを打つ際にスポンジの柔らかさが裏目に出て、スポンジにボールが食い込んでからボールを反発することなくボールを食い込んだまま打ち出すのでネットミスを連発。ツッツキをするには打球時にラケットを上に持ち上げるように振らないと返球が上手くいきませんでした。これは自分の技量の問題なので良いラバーなのですが自分には合わない使いこなせないラバーだと感じました。
  スピード、回転、コントロールのバランスが良くて高性能、扱いやすさもあるので今使っているラバーよりも良いラバーを使いたいと思う人にはいいラバーだと思います。

  Q4

  

  I'd been using the Vega Asia 1.8mm on my backhand until now. This time I put the Q4 1.7mm on my backhand.
  I tried it after seeing a review video online saying "even people who gave up on the Q3 should try the Q4," so I gave it a shot.
  Starting the test hit, the bounce felt normal — I didn't get the impression it flies especially far. The feel is on the firm side and the topsheet grips the ball well, which is right up my alley.
  Comparing the Q4 and the Vega, I didn't notice much difference in speed, but the Q4 was clearly ahead in spin.
  Drives, chiquita, and of course serves all come out with stable spin. I mainly serve from the backhand, and I've started getting service aces with backspin serves.
  Blocks stick really well, which left a good impression — it felt easier to use than the Q3. The ball would land right at the far end of the table.
  I also switched it to my forehand to try it out, and compared to the Vega Tour on the forehand, the Vega has a flatter trajectory and more speed, but I felt the Q4 was ahead in spin and stability.
  Overall it felt like a rubber that lets you push the pace when you want to and reins things in when you don't.
  I think it works well on both forehand and backhand. The downside is the price — the Vega has better value for money, so it's a tough call between the Q4 and the Vega.

  今までヴェガアジア1.8mmをバックに使用してました。今回はQ4の1.7mmをバックに使用。
  某ネットの試打動画で「Q3使って継続使用を諦めた人もQ4を試してみて」とのことで試してみました。
  試打開始、弾みは普通。そんなに飛ぶなぁといった印象は無かったです。打感は固めでシートの食い込みもよく好みの部類。
  Q4とヴェガ両者を比較してスピードの差はそこまで感じませんでしたが回転性能はは明らかにQ4の方が上でした。
  ドライブ、チキータはもちろんサーブも安定して切れます。基本バックサーブ主体でやってますが下回転でサービスエースが取れるようになりました。
  ブロックがよく止まるのが好印象でQ3よりも使いやすい印象。打球した球が台の一番奥に入ってくれました。
  フォアに持ち変えて使用しましたが、フォアのヴェガツアーと比較して直線弾道かつスピードはヴェガの方がありますが回転量と安定度はQ4の方が上だと感じました。
  飛ばしたい時に飛ばせて、抑えたい時は抑えてくれるラバーといった印象でした。
  フォア、バック両面に使えるラバーだと思います。ネックは値段ですね、ヴェガの方がコスパは良いのでQ4かヴェガのどちら使うか悩みどころです。
