I was playing with Rakza from the early beginning, last half a year with hybrids (mainly with d09c), and now switching back to tensors
So glued Rakza XX on both sides to the Yasaka Reinforce AC blade (82g).
From the first shots, it was clear that the speed is on another level after previous Rakza rubbers. Then I realized that having adopted the technique to hybrid rubber for spinning the ball with the forward movement the Rakza XX is a beast - it generates tons of spin and speed. And unlike hybrid rubbers, you can spin the ball even without engaging the sponge (09c can't do that) to play the soft spinny ball with high trajectory of just a short spinny ball.
After some time it is easy to get used to it on a forehand and serves, on a backhand I feel much improvement in a counters game, speed game, but still, I am not used to it when looping the ball from backspin on a backhand side. Still have to use to it a little for that or move back to a Rakza X (but again with Rakza X I will lose in speed and counters game).
But my forehand became a beast with that rubber.
So in short - a good combination of elastic and soft topsheet with a slightly harder (compared to Rakza 9) but still highly porous sponge with big bubbles gives a way to improve your game after you get used to it.
I think that the past experience with the Dignics 09c rubber have a positive effect when switching back to Rakza, because with Dignics you are learning to play all the strokes forward (more or less but the forward part is necessary), otherwise the ball was falling from the rubber with loud grippy sound. Having this applied to Rakza XX and the Rakza's possibility of playing the ball without engaging the sponge gives a perfect rubber for the all-round game with the focus on attack
After switching to this rubbers I become more unpredictable to opponents, faster and more stable. As as a result I have grown in table tennis ranking in my country

Yasaka Rakza XX
by Yasaka
· Part of Yasaka Rakza Series
Yasaka Rakza XX is the latest version of the successful Rakza series. Yasaka Rakza XX is a fast rubber developed to suit advanced players. Although the sponge is made of a harder rubber quality, it is easily deformed due to the large air bubbles. The air bubbles are compressed when the ball touches the rubber, and the energy is transferred to the ball for a stable release and a more powerful shot. In addition, the top layer, just like the other rubbers in the Rakza series, has a high proportion of natural rubber, which improves spinning possibilities. The result is incredible speed performance while maintaining strong spin and high stability. Speed: 95
Spin: 97
Control: 85

Reviews of Yasaka Rakza XX (8)
Excellent upgrade from Rakza X. It maintains the incredible balance that we are used with Rakza X, but now with even more speed and spin, and superb control.
I was using rakza X until XX came out and I migrated up. I use it in max thickness on my forehand and have used it on both 7 ply wood blades (mainly yasaka Falck W7) and a couple of inner carbon blades. It is a moderate upgrade over rakza X, but to be honest it is not a big one and I could have kept with rakza X and been happy. Linear. My pushing and blocking with it are ok. Serves well. All around great rubber. On my inner carbon blade I wish it was a little softer sponge.
Very great rubber. The sponge is hard, but when hit it becomes a little soft. great control, and very spinny like Dignics 05. speed is great, like hammond Z2. You can easily do spin, chop and smash punches. highly recommended rubber.
I've been using this rubber on FH, and I can get an insane amount of spin on my shots, with the thinnes version, the speed is still enough. It's easy to to play topspin against chop. After using it for quite some time, it seems it's very high quality, in my opinion it will last a very long time. Only major disadvantage, it's sensitive to dust. Overall best rubber I've used so far
