RAKZA X table tennis rubber from Yasaka is the latest addition to the popular and highly successful RAKZA series of Yasaka rubbers. The top sheet is a mainly natural rubber gum, employing a new production method.
The result is a top surface with exceptional grip enabling both phenomenal spin and speed. These qualities reduce the margin for error. This top sheet is then combined with a harder Power Sponge. The resulting combination of a faster sponge and high grip top sheet enables you to place the ball accurately with a high degree of success.
Serves and short returns are both very sharp, similar to the Rakza 7 and Rakza 9.
RAKZA X yet another winning combination from Yasaka!
Wow what a rubber! So easy to play with, yet so deadly. Very grippy topsheet with nice sound. Very linear playing-charasteristics. The spin is out of this world. Ive played Rasant Grip, and that is very much the same as this rubber. Playing with Rosewood nct7, and is awesome. Also tested it on a 5-ply DonicDiacon, where the throw was a little but higher.
I'm pleased to say I got one of the first 2 sheets in the UK.
I play with 1.8mm on my backhand and wow wot a rubber. B/H topspin's on target and invariably hits the base line often than not. Nice feel to the rubber allows controlled and effective chops.
Was playing with Xiom Vega pro but found quality variations between sheets frustrating. Will update on this subject when I have replaced the Rakza X a few times.
Slightly slower than Vega Pro more in line with Tenergy 05. This rubber is more forgiving than Tenergy 05 and at the moment I'm leaning more to the Raska X as my all time favourite rubber.
After 2 weeks with this rubber I'm pleased to say its ticking all the boxes.
Yasaka has come up with a winner and could be your next secret weapon as Yasaka tend not to advertise their products.. they probably let their equipment do the talking.. well Yasaka this rubber is thunderously loud.
I'm currently using the black rubber but I have a spare red one which I will be putting on to my spare blade.
Don't know why I took so long to use this. What a great rubber! It's incredible how balanced Rakza X is, and in high levels speaking. The speed and thow angle are above Rakza 7, though spin is slightly below. But what is good is the confidence you get in your shots, because the control is superb. It has an amazing grip. Rakza X is a keeper.
Very good rubber played by world ranking man nr. 18 Mattias Karlsson, Halmstad Tabletennisclub. Clearly underrated here by some strange thing. Very easy to play with. Just pick it up and start!
After much researching for an Hi-Tech offensive rubber for the new 40+balls.I decided on Yasaka RakzaX,glued on Stiga Hybrid Wood C-Pen Red Max.Excellent Yasaka offensive rubber.Powerfull with good speed,spin and control.
