Max thickness/ red
Best backhand rubber ive ever used, its slow when you want it to be slow, its fast when you want it to be fast. Banana flicks and flips like a dream, definetly getting another sheet after this one is done with.
UPDATE: been playing this for 10 months and now most of the sponge has lost its traits, but the topsheet surprisingly is still tacky, but the problem now is that its a bit harder to block.

Yasaka Rakza Z
by Yasaka
· Part of Yasaka Rakza Series
For the first time in the RAKZA series, the top sheet has stickiness by employing a new production method. The result is a surface with exceptional grip, enabling phenomenal spin. The result enables you to make strong spin with a very high arc. Serves and short returns are both precise and sharp. The RAKZA Z rubbers are made for attacking players, both close to the table and from half distance. Speed: 94
Spin: 99
Control: 91
Yasaka rubbers are steeped in history dating back all the way to 1926. The flagship rubber for Yasaka has been the Mark V. Mark V burst onto the table tennis world stage in the 1970 and 1971 World Championships taking home victory in both competitions. The Mark V is still going strong today and other versions of the rubber have been produced through the following decades.
More recently Yasaka has developed Rakza rubbers which have taken innovation to another level. The shape of the pimples provides a strong balance between spin and speed. Rakza rubbers use Hybrid Energy to provide synergy between top sheet and sponge providing great elasticity for power and control.
Yasaka has many more rubbers in their product line as well. Yasaka rubbers are used by top professionals as well as players of all levels. Be like 2019 World Championship Silver Medalist Matias Falck and choose Yasaka rubbers.

My first hybrid rubber. Slower than the rubber I currently use, Rakza X. Not as powerful and less linear. Good for backhand and for making serves with spin. Also good for passive blocking. I wouldn’t buy it again.
WoW est goma tiene una velocidad efecto y control sobresalientes, compr est goma porque quera probar una goma hbrida por primera vez y me encant, tiene un grado de pegajosidad alto por lo que en el toque corto es genial y en top cerca y media distancia de la mesa es increble y genera un efecto y control es increble, puedes generar servicios cortos con mucho efecto, pronto tendr que probar la versin Extra Hard
Excellent hybrid rubber that I have been using on a Donic True Inner Carbon for the forehand mostly.
I got it in a MAX thickness.
It's my second hybrid rubber after I tried a second-hand Butterfly Dignics 09C.
Comparing a new rubber with a used one is unfair but this rubber appears to be tackier and spinnier than Dignics 09C.
Durability is also excellent. I've used it for 6 months now playing around 7/8 hours per week and it's still in a good condition able to grab the ball for a couple of seconds when it's clean. I have been taking care of it by cleaning it with water and/or a rubber cleaner after each session.
Speed is not extreme but it's definitely good enough. Looping top spins, short touches, chops, and chop blocks are all easy: the slightest active wrist variation results in spins of excellent quality.
Counter and blocking are very good, too, and they require a closer bat angle when compared to a tensor rubber like Tibhar MXS (which I use on the backhand).
The only real drawback I can find is that flat smashes feel a little mushy but can still be performed reasonably well.

I've been playing with Rakza Z on fh for about 2-3 weeks and I find this rubber pretty interesting. The rubber is fairly heavy with a medium tacky topsheet and a pretty hard sponge(50 degrees according to Yasaka). From the first passive shots when warming up, the rubber seems pretty slow and "dead" with a very high arc. Even the coach has told me to keep the ball lower. However, when I've started looping, the grip or "bite" on the ball from the topsheet is instant and the amount of spin is very noticeable while maintaining good control. Picking up low balls is pretty easy due to the high trajectory.
On serves I can generate a lot of spin while keeping my serves pretty short. One thing that I've struggled with a little in the beginning is that I can't do short movements when serving because the rubber doesn't have that catapult effect so I have to do full swings. On the receive/short game, the rubber has great control and it's very easy to place the ball close to the net.
The speed on this rubber is pretty subjective because on passive shots/blocking the ball bounces pretty slow and high, but when you start looping and using your force, the rubber can generate good speed along with some exceptional spin. I've played before with Rakza 7 and I will say that with Rakza Z I can generate more speed, but overall Rakza 7 has better speed. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I find that it fits my game because I like put my own power into the shots.
It's my first hybrid rubber and I am very pleased with it. The rubber has exceptional grip, spin and control which gives me the consistency that I need in my fh shots. As for the price/quality ratio this is definitely a 10/10.
