Customer review for Yasaka Rakza Z Extra Hard

External Review for Yasaka Rakza Z Extra Hard on July 28, 2020

I've been using yasaka rakza z extra hard for nearly two months now. When taken right out of the packaging it's pretty tacky, can hold a ball for 1 second, and the tackiness hasn't vanished yet (recently I've been playing 2-4 hours weekly and try to wipe the rubber after every session). Speed is very good, definitely faster than untuned hurricane 3. For me, the speed was somewhat like hurricane 3 (40 degree hardness) boosted with two layers of falco, maybe a bit faster. You can feel the catapult effect when you strike hard, and then you can shoot bullets, although the touch play near the net is excellent as well, probably due to the rubber being pretty tacky. The rubber has many gears. I usually play with chinese tacky rubbers and I'm comparing the yasaka to this kind of rubbers. The sponge of the yasaka is hard but it doesn't feel that hard when playing, it feels softer than untuned hurricane 3 h40, it's more like 39 for my taste. The throw is medium high I'd say, it's quite easy to lift backspin balls. On the whole, I like this rubber a lot, I've been using it on donic dicon whuch is an off- blade, and this setup suits me well. I wanted something hard and tacky, but on the other hand easier to play than the typical chinese rubbers. Recommended!
