External Review for Yasaka Rakza Z on August 8, 2022

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.
