Yasaka Rakza PO

Select color/thickness:

4.5/5

Yasaka Rakza PO short pips-out, is one of several rubbers with the newly developed top sheet using mainly natural rubber gum. This improves the level of grip and the power of spin drastically. The top sheet is combined with the new “Power Sponge”. The top sheet and “Power Sponge” work in perfect synergy, producing the Hybrid Energy rubber. With Rakza PO Yasaka developed a short pimples-out rubber with increased spin capacity, due to the shape of the pimples geometry and the use of more natural gum in the top sheet.

Speed: 93
Spin: 70
Control: 78

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 of Yasaka Rakza PO (14)

Nice, but require a lot of practice, I use it for forehand n works better for me. Its very fast and for the oponent is annoing when I attack with my forhand. Push is easy if hit the ball early than usual.

I am trying short pips again after some years, in the same cpen blade (DHS Power G9) with inverted rubber in the BH. And Rakza PO is nothing new to me, I have used it for a long time in the past. but with plastic ball is the first time. RPO is extremely fast, it produces the characteristic sound of tension rubbers. And a good amount of spin for a SP. But speed is what makes it special, it is the fastest SP I have tried, among Raystorm, Impartial XB, Moristo SP, Zava and some others. And it also can be deceptive in some situations, for example, when your opponent hits a fast shot, you can active block and, because of the soft sponge of RPO, the ball easily "reaches the wood", returning to the table with no spin, not to mention like a missile. I can win a lot of points just active blocking. Returning serves is also an easy job, SP in general allows you to push any serve killing the incoming spin. For "active" SP penhold players I say Rakza PO is one of the best in the market. But if you play passively, there are definitely better options.

I have tried more than 20 short pips rubbers. Many different brands. This is definitely the best! Most stable, more speed, spin, control. Very deceptive as well, with good sinking effect. Lots of power. Also good for looping , blocks and service returning. Great for service too. Overall, a perfect rubber for both attacks and defence.

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! ?
