this rubber actually surprised me, it is the fastest I've ever tried, low throw angle, not so bouncy, medium hardness, it doesn't feel much incoming spin so blocking is fairly easy and I didn't expect a good short game and services but as long as it works for me I'd say that behaves very well, I've heard people say that it doesn't generate much spin, and it is actually true, but it still creates a consistent quantity, but before that the opponent has to catch your shot and this usually doesn't happen very often. I finally think I found the right FH rubber for me, it gives me more confidence about my shot and knowing I'm playing a ball that arrives almost at the white line so I make the work for the opponent harder. However I think that this rubber wouldn't suit for everyone since it requires a full use of legs and waist in order to give the ball the right trajectory, and of course, go forward because if these things are missing you may face many shots going long or in the net, so I'd recommend to try the rubber before actually buying it. Another point is its price, way cheaper than the average nowdays. I might update this rewiev since I've tried this product in only one session of training, so it's missing the match test etc. but about my first trial (since I didn't try it before buying) I can't be anything but surprinigly happy.

I got back into ping pong after not playing for about 30 years and I used pre made paddle after about 8 months I decided I wanted to put together my own paddle and did some research and I ended up with a Mi Linn carbon and Hurricane 3 for the forehead and Rakza 9 for the backhand I liked both rubbers but the Rakza 9 the ball seemed to jump off the paddle so it seemed faster than the Hurricane 3 but still had good control so I put together another paddle using Rakza 9 for both sides and I’m very happy with it.

Very Spinny and FAST but heavy (red max )
***Assembly service is not very good. Rubber and blade are not sticking together after a month.

It is my current FH rubber. Using it on BTY Balsa Carbo X5 22.
It is a very spinny rubber with good speed and enough control.
As for the speed it is fast enough in close-to-table and in mid-to-table zones.
As for Spin - very spinny. Good spin on serves, very good spin in loop, enough spin in top spin to tops spin counters.
As for the loops - opponents have problems returning it onto the table. Most of time it is going out of table. You can easily do high and slow very spinny loops or fast and low loops.
Backspins and pushes are very comfortable and controllable, the ball is not tending to go away from the table on a fast backspin return as it is on some other tensor rubbers.
Serves: you can easily do fast "Waldner" serves as well as short spinny serves
But one you should do for sure - improve your footwork and technique. In a plastic ball era, you have to work on your footwork. You can't just rely on the speed, spin, or control of the blade/rubber as it was before the plastic ball.
When I started to work on my legs I realized the potential of Rakza family rubbers
