Rubber Analysis

The Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft is a smooth inverted rubber engineered for modern offensive table tennis. With a spin rating of 8.2/10, this rubber offers solid rotation capability. You can generate meaningful spin on loops and serves, though it won't produce the extreme dip of top-tier spin rubbers. The speed rating of 7.8/10 provides enough pace for offensive play while the 8.8/10 control keeps things manageable. This balance makes it suitable for players who attack but value consistency. Available in 1.8mm, 2.0mm, 2.2mm thickness options — thicker sponges offer more speed and spin potential, while thinner ones prioritize control. This rubber is best suited for allround players who mix offense and defense.
