The new Rakza X is the latest addition to the popular and highly successful Rakza series of Yasaka rubbers. The top sheet is made of natural rubber, 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. RAKZA X yet another winning combination from Yasaka!

Yasaka rubbers are steeped in history dating back all the way to 1926. The flagship rubber for Yasaka has been the Mark V. Mark V burst onto the table tennis world stage in the 1970 and 1971 World Championships taking home victory in both competitions. The Mark V is still going strong today and other versions of the rubber have been produced through the following decades.
More recently Yasaka has developed Rakza rubbers which have taken innovation to another level. The shape of the pimples provides a strong balance between spin and speed. Rakza rubbers use Hybrid Energy to provide synergy between top sheet and sponge providing great elasticity for power and control.
Yasaka has many more rubbers in their product line as well. Yasaka rubbers are used by top professionals as well as players of all levels. Be like 2019 World Championship Silver Medalist Matias Falck and choose Yasaka rubbers.

Reviews Summary
✨ AI-generated summary of customer reviews.
Pros
- The Yasaka Rakza X table tennis rubber is praised for its power, control, and effectiveness, particularly for offensive play. Users have noted that it allows for consistent smashing and looping, and creates a spin that opponents find difficult to return. It is also described as fast, powerful, and precise, making it easy to put on spin.
- Many users have found the Yasaka Rakza X to be an upgrade from previous rubbers they have used, noting that it offers improved control in all areas, especially in blocks and loop exchanges. The high throw angle is appreciated as it allows the ball to pass high above the net and still land on the table. It is also recommended for players who have an all-round and controlled backhand.
- Users have praised the Yasaka Rakza X for its grip and control, without compromising speed. It is described as a balanced and versatile rubber that is suitable for both forehand and backhand play. Despite being fairly heavy, users have found it to be grippy and comfortable to use, particularly for topspin and blocking. It is recommended for intermediate to advanced players.
Cons
- Some users have found the Yasaka Rakza X to be heavier than other rubbers, which could potentially affect the overall weight of the blade. This could be a disadvantage for players who prefer a lighter setup. One user noted that the rubber, combined with another, made their blade weigh 200g.
- A few users have noted that the Yasaka Rakza X has a lower throw than some other rubbers, such as the Rakza 7. This could potentially affect the trajectory and landing of the ball, and may require some adjustment for players who are used to a higher throw.
- Some users have found the Yasaka Rakza X to be harder than expected, with one user comparing it to the Rakza Z, which has a sponge hardness of 50 degrees. This could potentially affect the feel and control of the rubber, and may require some adjustment for players who are used to a softer rubber.
Reviews of Yasaka Rakza X (38)
This is awesome rubber for my BH. It has good spin and control and as a result, it is not as fast as Rakza 9. Recently played with Rakza 7 ob BH. Rakza X more suits to my BH, maybe because of more control that rakza 7 has.
With this rubber the first loop is so easy to do and most of players say that this loop has a very high spin that is very difficult to block because ball is then going out of table (same for rakza 7 and 9), sometimes first loops are very fast. For top spins sometimes I want more speed, because when you 2 meters from the table it is hard to do nice and fast top spin.
As for the back spin and push plays - it is very comfortable.
As for the serves - I am rarely using my BH serves, but when I do that it seems that it has required spin
