Customer review for Yasaka Rakza Z Extra Hard

Review by tyesto13 (Verified Customer) for Yasaka Rakza Z Extra Hard on August 15, 2025

Best FH rubber I have come across.. switched from DHS H3 National blue sponge. This Rakza Z EH is much more forgiving on mistimed shots and has a slightly higher throw so it clears the net easier when lifting heavy backspin balls. Tons of spin but not quite as much as the H3N. Balls seem to kick up higher off the bounce rather than the lower kick effect of the H3N. Rakza also has longer dwell/ball grab even despite “extra hard” sponge. I’d say sponge is a degree or two less hard than boosted Hurricane 3. Serves and serve return 4/5. Power drive and looping is where this rubber shines. Brush shots 5/5 because of dwell time. I highly recommend!
