Yasaka Rakza PO

A nice rubber. Very forgiveble in defense and receiving services, helping the player to return the ball in the table. Very fast when hitting flat inside the table. Can be used in a very similar way to inverted pips, but generates less spin. When blocking, generates a little deceiving spin and lower bounce on the table. I loved it. A handful mix between inverted and long pips. Very easy to get used to it.

Rakza PO is my second gum with short pips, and including the Chinese long pips I used to play before, it was the third one. It is a rubber that plays quite similar to smooth rubber. To adapt to Rakza PO, it is enough to exercise for 10-15 hours, keep a different angle of the racket and remember to play more with your wrist and push the ball forward. I have her backhand on purpose - to force myself into an offensive game. First things first. Rakza works great in blocks - you have to block and push the racket a little forward - the opponent then gets the ball so fast that it is difficult for him to respond and is pushed to the defensive. The ball gets interesting vibrations during the flight - it flies in a zigzag and relatively low and flat. I do not recommend passive blocks, the ball then falls into the net quite often, there must always be minimal forward movement of the racket. Also, the Rakza PO is pretty good to serve, with a pretty good spin, maybe not like the Rakza 7, but enough to make the pickup difficult. You can also play this rubber topspin with a nice spin, also from the second zone !!! Attacks, flat, kills are very effective. The racket must then be open and the strike must come from the wrist. The speed of such an attack is enormous. As for the control ... it is quite a difficult assessment because a pip will never be as precise as a smooth rubber, but with each training session it gets better and better. Playing short at the table is easy, but also requires different angles and the ball needs to be pushed a little more.Rakza PO is quite sensitive to the upcoming serve spin, but as with other licks, the move cannot be passive. If you move forward you will cancel the rotation. Exercise and beat your opponents. There is no soft game! ?

The best horizontal pips for attack! I tried many pips: Japan, China, Europe ... but Rakza PO is the best! Victas VO 102 is also well controlled and fast, but I prefer the Rakza PO. I use 2 pips for both BH and FH. FH is usually Rakza PO or Victas 102, BH is Chinese pips (Example: Kokutaku 119, Dawei 388c-1, DHS Dragonow ...). I have a lot of racquets, mostly carbon or carbon fiber. Off, Off +; Rakza PO has moderate spin but high speed and good control!

I switched from MX-S, Acuda S1 to this Pip. I try another 4-5 pips, but always come back to this. I think people not know this Rakza Po, this is best pip what i try.

The rubber is bouncy, has good control and spins well. The sponge is soft and very easy to play with.
