Customer review for Yasaka Rakza Z

External Review for Yasaka Rakza Z on October 12, 2021

This rubber is on the same page with Butterfly Dignics 09C and Nittaku Sieger PK50. I played with all 3 and so far Yasaka Rakza Z is my winner. It is slower than Dignics 09C and faster than Sieger PK50. It is the tackyest of the 3 and same hardness with the Sieger PK50, the Dignics 09C being the hardest of all. I chose this rubber out of the 3 because these tacky hybrids have a weakness when it comes to pasive blocks but the Rakza Z is not as bad. Active bloks are no problems with any of these rubbers. Rakza Z and Sieger PK50 feels a bit softer than Dignics 09C and it feels better on slow game. Dignics 09C has a more low arc than the other two so it is better far from the table. If you play mostly close to the table the Rakza Z and Sieger PK50 can create some extreme angles and are better in attaking short serves. Once the rubbers are 2 to 3 months old and the initial tack wears off Dignics 09C becomes little frustrating to ply with. Maybe that is mostly because the expectations after paying such of high price for it. So in conclusion Rakza Z is a affordable rubber with characteristics on par with the latest and greatest hybrid rubbers. If your game is based on spin and you use your wrist to add extra spin to your shots and you like to serve spiny this is the rubber I would recommend for you. I, personally like to use the same rubber on both my FH and BH and my review is based on this.
