Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft is a softer version of the popular Rakza 7 rubber, designed for players who want a lot of rotation, more feel, and easier control of the ball.
The upper rubber is the same as in the Rakza 7 model and contains a high proportion of natural rubber, which provides exceptional ball grip. As a result, the player can more easily generate strong spin on topspin, serves, short game, and opening play against underspin balls.
The main difference is in the softer sponge. This allows a longer contact time between ball and rubber, so the ball sinks a little deeper into the surface upon impact. The result is better feel, more control, and easier rotation generation even when the player does not have perfect contact position.
Rakza 7 Soft has a slightly higher launch angle than the classic Rakza 7. On topspin strokes, the ball travels in a higher arc, increasing safety over the net and enabling greater reliability in exchanges. This is especially useful when opening the game against backspin and for players who build points with rotation and precise positioning.
The softer sponge absorbs an opponent’s powerful strokes better, so blocks, counters, and return of serves are more controlled. At the same time, the built-in speed glue effect ensures an elastic feel, pleasing sound, and enough dynamics for attacking play close to the table.
Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft is an excellent choice for players who want spin, control, and a more comfortable feel, rather than the hardest and most demanding aggressive rubber.
