Yasaka Rakza 9

Rubber description:

The Yasaka Rakza 9 is a high-performance table tennis rubber known for its exceptional speed, spin, and control. Based on the reviews, it seems to be an excellent choice for offensive-minded players who prioritize aggression and versatility in their game.

Tackiness: The Rakza 9 is described as having a “nice medium arc” and decent tackiness, allowing for consistent spin production on various shots. Several reviewers noted its similarity to the popular Tenergy 05 rubber in terms of tackiness and overall feel.

Weight: The rubber is considered to be of medium weight, with some reviewers pairing it with medium-firm blades like the BTY MMaze or Darker Speed 90 for optimal performance.

Durability: The Rakza 9 seems to maintain its performance characteristics well over time, with one reviewer noting that the rubber was still “spinning like new” after 8 months of use. The overall durability appears to be quite good.

Alternatives: While the Rakza 9 is praised for its diverse capabilities, some reviewers suggest considering other options like the Tenergy 64 or Xiom Omega IV Pro, depending on personal preferences and playstyles. However, the Rakza 9 is widely regarded as one of the best all-around offensive rubbers on the market.

I used this rubber on my Yasaka Innerforce as a forehand (sometimes twiddling it to my backhand). It is very impressive with lots of carrying grip across the net. It is very fast on my backhand topspin.

I recommend this rubber for intermediate players who want to level up their games. And don’t get me started on the price; it was well worth it!

This rubber is the best! The speed is amazing, and the spin is fiery.

Speed: 10/10

Spin: 9/10

Control: 8/10

This rubber is perfect for players who want to generate a lot of spin on their shots. It is also very fast, so it is great for attacking players. However, it is not as good for players who need a lot of control over their shots.

Overall, this is a great rubber for players who want to generate a lot of spin and speed on their shots.
