I have a friend, my main practice partner, which is probably the biggest fan of this rubber. He used to pay J-pen, then turned to shakehand grip and even tried chinese penhold for a while, but now is playing J-pen again. But there was something that never changed during all his experiences: RZEH was always there, as his backhand rubber in shakehand and Cpen styles, and now as his J-pen rubber. According to him, RZEH is the rubber that most allows a very closed angle hit with no slippering. Durability is also second to none, with proper care this rubber can last 18 months. And topsheet surface is super resistant to crack, he hit the table many times and the topsheet remained intact. But there are cons, and lack of catapult effect might be one f you like a Tenergy-like behavior. Another concern is about the topsheet shining surface, it disappears very quick and becomes blurry. About performance, it requires a fast and strong swing to produce a fast ball, but when properly hit the ball goes loaded with spin and extremely dangerous. It means you must have good physical condition to play with it, no lazy stroke is accept with RZEH. It is definately not for me, although it lasts a long time, which I like. But I do not like the lack of catapult, I prefer a more user friendly rubber such as Dignics 05. And I do not like at all the blurry topsheet after 3 weeks, this is unacceeptable for me.

Yasaka Rakza Z Extra Hard
by Yasaka
· Part of Yasaka Rakza Series
RAKZA Z Extra Hard is the new addition to the highly successful RAKZA series of YASAKA rubbers. 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 top sheet is combined with a harder Power Sponge. The result enables you to make strong spin with a very high arc. Serves and short returns are both precise and sharp.
RAKZA Z rubber - yet another winning combination from Yasaka.
Speed: 98
Spin: 93
Control: 83

I use this rubber on my FH with Cybershape Carbon, and I love the tackiness and speed of this rubber. I am a big fan of Yasaka since Mark V. You may feel it is slow at the first 2-3 training sessions, cause the stickiness of the rubber, but you will get a better speed after that (cause the stickiness will reduce to the sweet spot and won't drop at that point). I was using a boosted H3NEO orange sponge, and I feel like this one is quite similar (without boosting required).
Best FH rubber I have come across.. switched from DHS H3 National blue sponge. This Rakza Z EH is much more forgiving on mistimed shots and has a slightly higher throw so it clears the net easier when lifting heavy backspin balls. Tons of spin but not quite as much as the H3N. Balls seem to kick up higher off the bounce rather than the lower kick effect of the H3N. Rakza also has longer dwell/ball grab even despite “extra hard” sponge. I’d say sponge is a degree or two less hard than boosted Hurricane 3. Serves and serve return 4/5. Power drive and looping is where this rubber shines. Brush shots 5/5 because of dwell time. I highly recommend!
Moved from Razka 7 to Rakza Z EH, and as an intermediate player loved the extra control and spin. Defensive close to net shots are also excellent.Brilliant!
A good rubber for hitters but thers is no "phenomenal spin". It has less spin that Rakza Z, less control, medium throw angle.
