There are plenty of other rubbers out there with plenty of spin and a high arc.
But I'd say what's good about this rubber is really that it can "do anything."
Drives fly with a high arc, but smashes go in a straight line.
The bounce is high, yet stops still stop dead.
With Japanese penhold you end up doing almost every technique with a single rubber, so this versatility is a real blessing. I can see why so many people choose it.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I get the impression not many people use this one within the Rakza lineup.
The trajectory on drives is low, but if you loop it a bit it clears the net fine, and even when you back off the table, backhand drives still carry through well.
The straight trajectory makes it a strong point-scorer too — backhand smashes with a snap of the wrist especially drive right into the opponent's court.
Control is good too, so blocking is stable.
I use it on the backhand side of a penhold blade, so I can't say how easy the short game is with it, but as a rubber dedicated to the backhand side for attacking play, I think it's really solid.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Whenever I've thought about putting rubber on both sides of a Japanese-penhold blade, I keep running into the same wall:
- the balance point ends up too far toward the tip
- the board is too thick to suit two-sided play
- most two-sided Japanese-penhold blades just don't bounce
- and frankly, there aren't many options to begin with
This blade, though, has an oval shape that puts the balance point closer to the handle, and at 6mm thick, you can swing through fully even with rubber on both sides.
The bare blade is 73g, and even with rubber on both sides it only comes to 159g, so it's light enough to give you great maneuverability and better quality on soft shots.
Compared to Chinese-penhold, your wrist has more freedom, so the head turns more and backhand drives really fly.
Since it's Japanese-penhold rather than reverse-penhold, your thumb keeps backhand pushes stable, which also widens your options on receive.
The feel is on the hard side with a quick release, so spin might be a bit modest, but stops land solidly. And as an outer carbon blade, the bounce leaves nothing to complain about.
And on top of all that, Japanese-penhold blades just look cool!
Ever since I started using my backhand, Chinese-penhold was the only option for me - but with this blade, I'm back to Japanese-penhold for the first time in 20 years.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard
