External Review for Yasaka Rakza 9 on May 5, 2012

My blade is BTY MMaze. Everything i say here is my pwn opinion and works with my technique.
Very nice rubber. Very close to tenergy 05 by hardness when play with top spin, but more linear acceleration in compare with t05 when pushing harder, what i like much.
Throw angle is medium high, the trajectory is good and very stable is compare with tenergy 05(t05 is to high sometimes). Requires good technics and fast legs.
Spin on serve is excellent - at least same as with t05, but rubber has more linear ball throw which allows to vary with wirst more - i love it. When serving feels like medium hard rubber.

Chops are excellent spinny and speedy if you want and very controllable in short game.
On top spin attack with high speed, hardness very similar to t05. Ball dwell time feels a bit lower than with t05, but it allows to vary better between sping and smash in compare with t05, though when spin is alike t05 when loop.
Requires good technics for lift the ball on opening loop - not as forgiving as t05 on lift, but i'm not concerning about that, though taking into consideration that moment i put 9 of 10 for that.
Opening loop if done with good technique - hand and body movement is very controllable, high-spinny and low throw, which is very uncomfortable for an opponent. If returned by block - mostly significantly higher than net and comfortable for next controllable powerfull shot. Which is closer to Xiom Omega IV pro. So if your opponent was not able to counterloop - you will have very good advantage.
Counterlooping is nice close to table or far.
I found that this rubber requires good push into blade - so mostly will work nice on Forehand. on Backhand i would choose something softer with a bit higher throw.
