Hi guys, I really like my Rakza7 as my backhand rubber. I am playing with 2 MM and this thickness works perfect for me. The only serious cons of this rubber is that with my "top-sheet type of backhand" I tend to kill the rubber in 2-3 months. It took at least twice as long to bring a top-sheet of XIOM Omega IV to the same state (6-7 m). Anything that plays close...? What I like about rakza7 on BH is its balance. With equally long/short movement you can generate solid spin, even out of position. This rubber is really nice on chops and flips - again, quite forgiving if the movement is decent, not perfect. Let's say XIOM Omega IV was also quite forgiving but it was very poor- Not enough bite, variability - absolutely plain for the opponent. ------------- XIOM ZX1 Feel 85 Gr, FH: XIOM Omega VII Pro, BH: Rakza 7 Soft 2MM XIOM ZXI 88 Gr, FH: XIOM Omega V Tour, BH: Rakza Soft 7 2MM |

Never played with Sigma but tried it several times from others on FH - got the impression that Sigma's are much faster than Rakza7, much more aggressive, unforgiving, significantly harder sponge, longer curve, harder top-sheet. I am looking for similar but longer durability. ------------- XIOM ZX1 Feel 85 Gr, FH: XIOM Omega VII Pro, BH: Rakza 7 Soft 2MM XIOM ZXI 88 Gr, FH: XIOM Omega V Tour, BH: Rakza Soft 7 2MM |

True that Sigma is faster but the topsheet is only hard on Sigma I. Sigma II keeps the hard sponge but has a softer topsheet but I can see how Sigma II might not be the right alternative to Rakza 7. At this point have you considered maybe Tenergy 05 or 64? I'm not sure of another modern rubber that lasts as long as Xiom or Tenergy. ------------- Blade - Xiom 36.5 ALX FL Forehand - Xiom Omega V Asia 2.0mm Backhand - Victas Curl P5V with Der Materialspezialist Firestorm Soft/Outkill 1.8mm sponge |

I would also recommend Rakza X if you like R7. It is similar but better grip which means more control. Looks durable so far. ------------- http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53150&title=feedback-turboz - My Feedback |

Rakza X users, how long do you use it? How is it speed wise vs. Rakza 7? Regarding Tenergy: T64 has too long curve on spin for my BH and T05 has bad block for my BH. Not to mention that my objective to change Rakza7 is to essentially to improve durability/price ratio. Don't think that any of these two will do it, really ;) P.S. based on the description I would think T80 would be even better choice in this category but... probably will fail in durability/price ratio as well

Donic sounds quite promising, at least in durability they are very good. Can you elaborate on hardness and vs. rakza7? My last donic was M2 (on FH) but it would be too hard for my backhand and probably not forgiving enough.

I have the Calibra Tour M Max on my BH of DHS PG12. Excellent control for blocks, pushes, touch shots and counter-hitting. Spin is very little as practically no tack. Don't bother. I would not buy this rubber again. Rakza7 has way more spin & everything else. ------------- Andro Treiber Z - fl FH: Tibhar MX-D max BH: Tibhar Quantum ProX-blue,max |

At this point my options: 1) Staying with Rakza7 2MM. I am pretty happy with it except that I would prefer something a bit softer (not as soft as Rakza7 Soft) 2) Trying RakzaX - 2MM, although I am a bit concerned about the speed and untested durability. 3) Donic JP2 2MM - Sounds like a very good option. Lasts long, good top-sheet, good price. 4) Xiom Vega Pro 2MM - Just because it is cheap now and I tried spinning with it on BH for 15 minutes and got OK+ impression. Good curve. 5) I was considering Stigas but...got the impression that they lack grip on top-sheet, all except Airoc, which also has very mixed reviews, in terms of consistency and spin. ------------- XIOM ZX1 Feel 85 Gr, FH: XIOM Omega VII Pro, BH: Rakza 7 Soft 2MM XIOM ZXI 88 Gr, FH: XIOM Omega V Tour, BH: Rakza Soft 7 2MM |

Do you think if I go 2MM JP1 it will not be too hard sponge Vs. Rakza7? I know someone have mentioned they are both 47.5 but Rakza7 really does not feel hard rubber.

I had combo baracuda on FH and rakza7 on bh and I found them very similar. In speed and control the same, baracuda has higher arc and better durability.

I think they have almost the same spin and control, however I think Calibra Tour got some more speed and a better touch in the outer layer of the rubber.

Played with JP3 2MM. First impression vs Rakza7: - less control, not critically less, maybe I just need more time to adjust as it is different hardness. I will update here, if there are changes. - Trajectory on spin is lower than Rakza. - Throwing angle on spin -lower, quite notably. - Spin trajectory on BH, the arc is shorter - this is positive for me. - Speed...hard to tell. Blocks are faster. Spins are about the same with Rakza being more linear. - Short game, surprisingly better than rakza7, even from the first 2 hours of practice. In short game on my blade, it does not feel like tensor. Conclusion - none, need some time, but JP3 for me definitely an option. - ------------- XIOM ZX1 Feel 85 Gr, FH: XIOM Omega VII Pro, BH: Rakza 7 Soft 2MM XIOM ZXI 88 Gr, FH: XIOM Omega V Tour, BH: Rakza Soft 7 2MM |

Just an update on what was my second impression: JP is not for me. It is way too different from Rakza. On my main set up I have Rakza. After going back and forth within same training, switching from one set up to another, I like it more. It is hard to pin-point the reason, as there are pros and cons. All together JP is not a bad package but it does not feel right for me... ------------- XIOM ZX1 Feel 85 Gr, FH: XIOM Omega VII Pro, BH: Rakza 7 Soft 2MM XIOM ZXI 88 Gr, FH: XIOM Omega V Tour, BH: Rakza Soft 7 2MM |

For what It's worth Rasant Grip has a medium sponge. and Many, many have claimed their durability to outlast Tenergy. Plus, I've been told that Andro was the first brand to sell Esn rubbers. Therefore they have dibs on good quality Topsheet and sponge. The only thing Rasant Grip has in common with Powergrip, is the word Grip. Powergrip is another beast. Unless you've learned to play with Chinese rubbers. Don't go near that Brick of a sponge. I love it tbh. On the other hand I love Xiom because of their durability. Went threw 2 black Omega IV pro max for BH in 4 years. 1 Sigma II pro and 1 Omega IV pro for FH. But i've been itching to try Rasant Grip for BH. Just saving up ;D unless i find a cheaper chinese substitute. -------------  "I do not have any idols.

Rakza 7 are very durable rubbers. I used a lot of sheets of r7 and r7 soft in last 3-4 years. I play looping/blocking/hitting style mostly, 3 times a week. For example T05 can last 3 months for me, neither one day longer, sponge dies. Rakzas I mostly use for 6-12 months. But once I purchased fast wear rakzas, which weared much faster, in like 2-3 months. All of them I bought from same seller. ------------- http://stonitenis.rs/equipmentreviews" rel="nofollow - Equipment database Yinhe MC-2 FL fh: Xiom Vega pro bh: Xiom Vega pro Boycott Marcos Freitas for hidden services! |

Do you prefer Rakza 7 or Rakza 7 Soft for generally playing? I've always used 7 soft on my BH and it has great control. Recently I decided to use it on my FH and I was amazed by the control it provided, even to my passive shots, however I felt it's not good a few feet away from the table and tends to give away a lot of points by going into the net. What's your experience? |

I'm actually switching to rakza 7 on backhand, was using a tibhar 5q(update version) which was a spinny, high throw easy to use BH rubber for me, but found the rakza 7 a bit faster and more lively compared to 5q and it's a bit cheaper! Tho I'm pretty sure that the 5q has better control (lower spin sensitivity and less bouncy at lower speeds). The 5q was the only rubber which allowed me to actually do evrything I could do with t05 on my backhand and yes I have more of a topsheet powered brushy backhand near the table, and tbh I'm trying the rakza as an experiment, pretty happy with 5q too! Tried the jpo2, absolutely not what I like, havta hit through the sponge to get good spin and it wasn't as grippy and high throw as 5q, not as easy to lift backspin either,but was pretty good for punching and loop drives and wasn't too bad as a control type rubber.. But yeah! The jp02 made my bat a lot heavier.. It felt heavier than the mx-p on my FH. Been using the 5q since like 5months and the topsheet does look messed up :P (even a sigma2 euro looked similar after 4-5 month use). But the 5q still has good enough topsheet grip though it has lost its initial kick! But still good enough! The Adidas p5 is one rubber I wudav definitely suggested, it's topsheet somehow looks brand new even after many months of use (though it crumbles more if your not careful). Its easier to spin with at lower speeds and more controllable than the rakza and pretty much a similar category rubber as the rakza and 5q,and Adidas p7 is supposed to be better in terms of spin and power! Damn! Why does Adidas have to shut down now! Dint even get to try their stuff :( If yu want a tiny bit more control, and incase yua getting the 5q cheap, I'd say try it out. ------------- 1.dhs pg2 fl -FH t05h (max) -BH tibhar genius (max) |

Yep, until stocks last ofcourse lol. Planning to grab a p7 soon! And yeah FYI, p5 and p3 used to be available for 23-25usd here in some local shops...No idea why it was soo much cheaper in India! And yeah, it was the genuine thing! Hated the p3 tho p5 was freakin good! Espeically at that price. And yeah, no rubber iv tried soo far can come anywhere close to the Adidas p3 & p5 top sheets durability (in terms of surface grip only, they actually crumble a lot easier than other rubbers, but nothinh too bothersome if yu take care) ------------- 1.dhs pg2 fl -FH t05h (max) -BH tibhar genius (max) |

Nope, rakza works pretty well with the plastic ball, I definitely did not notice any slippage even while playing a in somewhat weather.Planning on changing to rakza 7 from 5q, r7 felt a lot more lively and powerful than the 5q.I dint immediately notice at first, but the 5q doesn't play as good with the P ball as it does with the celluloid, atleast on my be, could easily adjust on the FH.It's definitely not bad ,but felt that rakza 7 had an edge on power shots and easy spin. ------------- 1.dhs pg2 fl -FH t05h (max) -BH tibhar genius (max) |

It loses power a few feet away from the table, so unless I lift the ball heavily or use much stronger shots, the ball doesn't get enough jump to cross over the net. That's the same observation in a lot of reviews I've read about this rubber. Nevertheless, I love this rubber :P |

That would be because it's bottoming out. As you say, you need to brush harder (or finer) to stop it from bottoming out, so that you still get the lift. ------------- Smart; VS>401, Dtecs OX http://tabletennisshop.com.au/index.php?main_page=page&id=42" rel="nofollow - Tenergy Alternatives | http://tabletennis-reviews.com" rel="nofollow - My TT Articles |

I currently use rakza 7 soft max on bh. Rubber is soft and easy to play with. It's slower than harder rubber which is normal, harder rubbers are faster when you hit hard. R7 soft is probably not for players playing far from table, like all soft rubbers. You should have either very fast blade or flexy blade in this case. Or you have to have good technique, to use more than wrist and elbow for shots far from table. For most people r7 soft is good on bh and r7 on fh. I had good game and results with r7 soft on bh. Also with r7 on fh and bh. ------------- http://stonitenis.rs/equipmentreviews" rel="nofollow - Equipment database Yinhe MC-2 FL fh: Xiom Vega pro bh: Xiom Vega pro Boycott Marcos Freitas for hidden services! |

Since past few days I've noticed something weird about r7 soft. As mentioned I've started using it on my FH as I started liking how the ball would dig in the soft topsheet and allowed me more dwell time to generate more sidespin. I didn't have any problem picking up heavy spiny serves but since a few days I've been playing against a player who does an impression of tomahawk serve from his left sided FH. It's sometimes a short and slow spiny serve and sometimes a fast long spiny serve. When I used r7 soft to pick up the serve, I would either go long or go into the net, this serve receiving became a nightmare for me even though I've played against much higher level players in the past with the same setup and didn't have this kind of trouble. For a few days I was thinking maybe my technique is wrong and I tried everything from changing racket angles, to changing the level of power or friction I would use to receive the serve, and I was only successful on some occasions but mostly losing points on his serve. So today I started using my BH rubber Rakza X to pick up his serves on my forehand and to my amazement I could return the serves very easily and accurately and I came to the conclusion that it's not my technique at fault but more the r7 soft versions softness which could be the culprit. Also I was reminded how fast Rakza X was as compared to r7 soft, my opponent was having hard time when I would drive the ball with Rakza X but with R7 soft he could usually return the slow drives. Have you experienced this as well? |

Rakza 7 can be a hard rubber to get away from as it has so many positives going for it. You could look at Donic Bluefire M2 or M3 as a possibility. by the sound of it, it may be worth taking a look at Rakza X if you are really stuck on the Rakza 7 at the moment. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6QlKrAbsMQ?utm_source=mytt-signature" rel="nofollow - Click Here to see TableTennis11 CEO Sergei Petrov's Introductory Interview - Tabletennis11.com |
