I am testing a sheet of Rakza X Max in the backhand and so far I am totally satisfied with it. Comparing it to Rakza 7, which has always been my ideal BH rubber, RX shows same speed and spin, but control is improved in all areas, specially in blocks and loop exchanges. Its throw angle is very high, ball passes high above the net and still lands on the table. Blocking with it is a breeze, extremely easy to control direction and deep. I recommend it to players who have an allround and controlled backhand.

Wonderfull rubber. Very easy to use and huge control in all game kinds of shots. Not extremely fast, decent speed but very spinny when you brush the ball caorrectly. Allow insane spin at service while not very sensitive to the oponent spin, so relatively easy for service return. Terrible loop and top spin, efficient block and terriblly good in short game. Shoping is also easy and can be dangerously sharp with the medium to low throw angle. Its enormous control allows beginner to use it easily while advanced player can also benefit from its good speed and generous spin. A lot better than T05 (a little bit less speed, equal spin but so much more control). Don't understand why it is so underated.
One of the best rubbers I've tried. Can do everything with enourmous control.
Not as fast as Tenergy or MX-P but has enough speed to finish the point.
Pairs perfectly well as both FH & BH with medium stiff blades: Eternity VPS V, Carbonado 45 & 90, Acoustic Inner Carbon, Viscaria.
Really underrated.

This rubber is Excellent for BH! Very grippy, fast, but still got enormous control. One more thing that standout from Raxza X is it's consistency. It can hit exact same spot with exact thrown angle, so i can control the incoming and attacking ball very easy with my BH.
I pair Raxza X with DHS gold arc 8 on my FH, that have slightly harder and faster rubber. I think i will use this rubber combination for a long time!

I've been using this rubber for my BH, it is fast, powerful and precise. Very easy to put on spin. My previous BH rubber was a Rakza 7 soft. This one is severa levels up yet it has great feel. Love it.
Very balanced, consistent, controlled offensive rubber. Does everything well. Only thing it lacks most is the spin but with proper technique and power, spin can still be deadly. Short game is good, counter drive and counter loop close to the table and mid distance is very good. Blocking is very good too. I use it on my BH. Serve is okay and not the greatest but serve return are good. Not very spin sensitive so helps with serve return. I use this rubber on the backhand side. Using it on Butterfly Viscaria. Very satisfied.
One of my favorite BHs along side tenergy 05 and Rakza 7, I have it on my Yasaka soft carbon blade in max sponge. Though it has a harder sponge then R7 it has a softer top sheet, so despite having a greater top speed for a superior kill shot it also has a better feel when looping . Where R7 is great for me is during fast topspin rallies I dont need to put in as good of form or positioning to fling back to the other side. in conclusion Rx wins in the speed and placement while R7 wins in control and chopping so Id say I favor R7 and Rx equally it just depends on your blade and your technique.
Using this rubber for 2 months now, Im impressed. For me it just does what i want it to do, its very consistent. My previous rubber on fh was Rakza 7 soft, only needed 2 training sessions to adjust and Rakza X brings just so much more consistency in power shots without sacrificing in the control/feeling department. The top sheet is grippy, very easy to open up, not so bouncy, its spinny and quite lineair. This is my first try with a harder rubber, I like it! Using Rakza 7 on BH now. I think Ill try Rakza X on BH as well. The rakza 7 requires a closer bat angle whan you add more power to your shots, especially at mid- to far distance from the table.
This rubber is a beast especially in max sponge.
Nice Sound and it is spiny, feels medium hard and it can be spin monster.
Decent speed is present also.
Not as fast as omega 7 pro but spinier with little higher throw.
Just after couple of sessions ball marks appears but performance is still there.
For 30 euros in my country it is good value for money.
Recommended.

I use Rakza X in my backhand. Very solid and good spin rubber. You can use everything with this rubber.
9.7/10 for OFF style. FH: Yasaka Rakza X, 2.2mm, 50g (0.247g/cm^2), 47.5 degrees (ESN), 37.5 degrees (Shore A). BH: DHS Gold Arc 8, 2.1mm, 50g (0.247g/cm^2), 47.5 degrees (ESN), 37.5 degrees (Shore A). Blade: TSP Balsa 8.5, 80g, 157mm x 150mm x 10.5mm (Width x Height x Thickness). Plies: 5 (3 Wood + 2 Composite): Ayous - GlassFibre - Balsa - GlassFibre - Ayous.
Great low throw rubber . With lots of spin in serves and fast loops. Perfect for Close to mid distance play.
I played with R7 and R9 earlier. But now i stick to RX because it is moore linear. I dosent loose the spin from R7 and still have the Speed to finish the point.

Awesome BH rubber! Blocks like a wall with a very crisp sound and control. It makes you wanna block some more!
Ratings for 2.2mm. Good grip and spin, quite fast. Heavier than rakza 7. 50g.
Don't know why I took so long to use this. What a great rubber! It's incredible how balanced Rakza X is, and in high levels speaking. The speed and thow angle are above Rakza 7, though spin is slightly below. But what is good is the confidence you get in your shots, because the control is superb. It has an amazing grip. Rakza X is a keeper.
Very good rubber played by world ranking man nr. 18 Mattias Karlsson, Halmstad Tabletennisclub. Clearly underrated here by some strange thing. Very easy to play with. Just pick it up and start!
Quality of construction like all the products of this brand, Yasaka says that this rubber has the highest launch angle of the rakza series but it is not true, medium low launch, hard rubber, hard sponge, excellent spin, good speed but no more than R7, I think it is more suitable for FH in flexible woods, medium soft or thin.
Huge disappoint Rakza x. Coming from using Rakza 7, R7 soft, shining Dragon,and rising Dragon. All better than Rakza x. Rx feels mushy and spin is not there as expected , still good rubber I say but rx is not an upgrade in my opinion. I think Rx soft might me slightly better with sound. Enough of all these hype.
Nice rubber was struggling in the beginning due to my first blade including this rubber but after a few weeks everything came back to normal. Nice and fast spin very strong when you hit the ball and a nice feeling especially in practice.
I have been using razka x on my forehand for over a year. First I used it with my primorac, and it was a great compliment to my all around attack style. It had enough power and spin to put pressure on my opponents. I could also chop, block, and loop with control and decent power. As I changed from using a primorac to my inner force ALC, the razka x became even more deadlier. I still have control, but the power of the spin and speed drastically increased. I love razka x for the great price and the outstanding performance I get in my matches. It really shines on a carbon blade as long as you have the technique to access the potential from Razka X.
The perfect rubber for your forehand. Great feeling, great for the short game and top from short or medium distances. To get the best performance recommend rigid blades.
I tried out my friends racket the other day. He uses Rakza X on both forehand and backhand together with Butterflys Viscaria. I think the rubber felt pretty good. The spin and control was pretty good and the rubber was fast.
Good control in the open game, not the best control in returns. I have not tried any other Rakza rubbers so sadly I can't make a comparison.
The rubbers was pretty heavy I don't know the exact weight. The throw angle was medium and the Sponge hardness I think is medium-meduim hard. I can't say much about the durability since I only tried them for one practice.

After much researching for an Hi-Tech offensive rubber for the new 40+balls.I decided on Yasaka RakzaX,glued on Stiga Hybrid Wood C-Pen Red Max.Excellent Yasaka offensive rubber.Powerfull with good speed,spin and control.
I try this rubber 1.8mm red and I dont like it
What I read on reviews is strange... This uncut rubber is heavy one (70g) Throw is low,top sheet is hard, sponge medium hard No extra spin only hyper speed And allmost dead feel... Rubber is something like a Bluefire M1 Turbo Only good thing is durability I try it on Ovtcharov Senso V1 (1/10),Ovtcharov Soft Carbon (3/10),DHS Hurricane King (2/10) On backhand allmost unplayable on FH something better Surprised this rubber perform really good on Killerspin Diamond CQ (7/10)

Play with this for about 12 month, first on Stiga Evolution & now on Stiga all-round classic blade, it is very powerful and effective for offensive and also quite controllable. I can smash the ball in consistently, looping is good, opponent has hard time returning my serve because it is quite spinning. I am hook with Yasaka X.
Very impressive rubber. Using 2.0 on BH with a one ply cypress 9.0 blade. Spin, control, good speed overall one of the most impressive rubbers I have tried. Wonderful feel of the ball as the rubber grips and the quick release, bang a winner.. Wow fun rubber.
I'm pleased to say I got one of the first 2 sheets in the UK.
I play with 1.8mm on my backhand and wow wot a rubber. B/H topspin's on target and invariably hits the base line often than not. Nice feel to the rubber allows controlled and effective chops.
Was playing with Xiom Vega pro but found quality variations between sheets frustrating. Will update on this subject when I have replaced the Rakza X a few times.
Slightly slower than Vega Pro more in line with Tenergy 05. This rubber is more forgiving than Tenergy 05 and at the moment I'm leaning more to the Raska X as my all time favourite rubber.
After 2 weeks with this rubber I'm pleased to say its ticking all the boxes.
Yasaka has come up with a winner and could be your next secret weapon as Yasaka tend not to advertise their products.. they probably let their equipment do the talking.. well Yasaka this rubber is thunderously loud.
I'm currently using the black rubber but I have a spare red one which I will be putting on to my spare blade.

Wow what a rubber! So easy to play with, yet so deadly. Very grippy topsheet with nice sound. Very linear playing-charasteristics. The spin is out of this world. Ive played Rasant Grip, and that is very much the same as this rubber. Playing with Rosewood nct7, and is awesome. Also tested it on a 5-ply DonicDiacon, where the throw was a little but higher.
