Rakza X
Rakza X is a high-performance rubber with a balance of speed, spin, and control. Featuring a grippy natural rubber topsheet (NSS) and a medium hard ~47.5° sponge, it enables powerful attacking shots with a medium ball arc and precise placement. Used by Yasaka Players Hampus Nordberg & Mattias Falck as their backhand rubber.
Details
What sets Rakza X apart from other rubbers in the Rakza series is its New Surface System (NSS), which increases friction between the ball and the rubber for superior grip. This extra grip allows for stronger spin generation on loops, sharper trajectories, and better control when dealing with incoming spin. Whether executing heavy topspins, counter-loops, or spin-loaded serves, the rubber provides a highly responsive feel.
The harder ~47.5° sponge—also referred to as the Power Sponge—ensures a fast and direct energy transfer, making the rubber feel explosive while maintaining precision. This makes it well-suited for players who prefer a high-speed, aggressive game while still wanting spin reliability. The rubber produces a medium ball arc, giving it a controlled yet powerful trajectory, helping players clear the net consistently without compromising placement accuracy.
Despite its speed-focused nature, Rakza X maintains excellent short-game control, making it easier to handle service returns and execute flicks with confidence. The grippy topsheet keeps shots stable even in high-paced rallies, making it a top choice for powerful loopers and counter-attacking players.
