  • ROSE GLADE

    User review

    This is one of the currently trendy blades that uses a hard wood for the top ply. There's nothing especially notable about the "Rose Grade" name — it uses a wood called Santos rosewood, slightly different from what's usually called rosewood, for the top ply, but I didn't feel much difference in the blade itself. Compared to recent hard-top-ply blades, the grip is a bit thinner and rounder. The weight was on the heavier side, at 91 grams. When you hit it, it flies with a slight arc and a sharp, high-pitched "kan-kan" sound. When you swing hard, there's less flex than you'd expect, and it flies in a straight line that doesn't really feel like a 5-ply. Pushes and stops are straight but there's enough flex that they weren't difficult. The list price is 10,000 yen, cheaper than previous hard-top-ply premium blades, but it doesn't feel like a step down in quality — so I'd say it suits people who like a thin, round grip, or players with small hands who can still swing something on the heavier side.

  • Rakza 7 Soft

    User review

    Yasaka's flagship rubber, the 7 Soft from the Rakza series. It has a tacky topsheet paired with a soft sponge with coarse bubbles. Pushes and meet-hits are easy to do just the way you intend. A lot of people put it on the backhand, but it doesn't have much of the "lacking something" feeling typical of soft rubbers, and since it lets you develop your feel for holding the ball, putting it on the forehand lets you refine the sensation of hitting a solid drive with a good arc. You can't produce an explosive single shot with it, but it's a rubber that can bring out your sense of touch.

    One of those trendy German tension rubbers.
    The topsheet is a bit tacky, with a sponge that has coarser cells. When you actually hit with it, the feel is solid and it's fairly easy to use. There's no shot it's particularly weak at, but nothing that really stands out either. It might suit a style that doesn't overreach, not much raw power, but good for a steady, consistent game.

    This is a classic, traditional 7-ply blade.
    It has a thick blade with a slightly thicker-than-average handle.
    When you hit with it, it's not especially fast, but it holds the ball fairly well and still produces good power. It also seems fairly flexible when it comes to rubber choice. The top ply tends to peel easily, so I'd be careful when pulling the rubber off.

    This is basically synonymous with "the first rubber people use." There's nothing intimidating about it, and you can build a feel for basic strokes with it. If you let the ball sink in properly, you can still produce a decent topspin drive — it's exactly what you'd expect from a high-tension rubber. I'm mainly a drive player myself, but this is also a rubber loved by choppers. It's easy to read the power of your opponent's shot, and you can send back a ball with no quirks. For a high-tension rubber, the sheet might be just a bit sensitive.
