Excellent rubber but it seems to be discontinued. Any ideas for the best replacement (other than Rakza Z Hard)?

Yasaka Rakza Z

Best Seller
For the first time in the RAKZA series, the top sheet has stickiness by employing a new production method. The result is a surface with exceptional grip, enabling phenomenal spin. The result enables you to make strong spin with a very high arc. Serves and short returns are both precise and sharp. The RAKZA Z rubbers are made for attacking players, both close to the table and from half distance. Speed: 94
Spin: 99
Control: 91
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 Z (41)
I seriously don't know what to type here. This rubber excells at almost everything, except killer speed which is very good anyway, I mean you get what you put into the shot. I've used few of the Chinese rubbers, but this one is just better in any way than those. It is so tacky it lifts the ball upside down and it stays there, you can even alter its position and it is still glued to rubber after 4 months use. The only rubber I can think of that could do that in this manner is Hurricane 2, out of the ones that I've used. If you like Chinese tacky rubbers then test this bad boy it is insanely good rubber for the price. Plus it is durable and tackiness doesn't wear out that quick. Well done Yasaka. Probably best rubber I will ever use.
Always struggled to generate significant topspin on my strokes, but this rubber almost does it for you.
It's throw angle is rather high, which means you have to close the racket angle more for drives. This was an easy and instant adjustment for me, and after which I started to brush the ball a lot more, keeping it low over the net and super spinny. Gives opponents a lot of trouble, especially the less experienced ones. The tackiness helps with lifting underspin; this rubber is a confidence booster.
I think this best of both world's hybrid approach to tackiness and sponge is perfectly balanced. Perfect for offensive topspin play, serve and receive are also excellent thanks to tackiness. The downsides are it's not good for flat hitting (which shouldn't really matter, as loop-drive / brushing strokes are a better option imo, and with this rubber you'll do it instinctively). And the weight. I don't find it a problem either, because I lift weights lol.
previously used rubbers : mark v, xiom vega europe, xiom vega intro, rakza 7 soft.

Great rubber at a great price. Serves, attacks, loops, blocks very well. Does not have that huge kick of a tenergy or dignics, but I feel very confident that my ball will find the table. You have to clean it (water for me) to keep the tackiness or that can be lost pretty easily.
