Customer review for Yasaka Rakza 9

External Review for Yasaka Rakza 9 on December 13, 2023

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
