Rubber Analysis

The Yasaka Rakza Z is a smooth inverted rubber engineered for modern offensive table tennis. Boasting a spin rating of 9/10, this rubber generates exceptional rotation on loops and serves — the ball dives sharply after bouncing, making it devastating for opening loops and third-ball attacks. The speed rating of 8.8/10 provides enough pace for offensive play while the 7.2/10 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 loop attackers who drive heavy topspin.
