Is it only me or Dan has really improved his backhand? Especially from medium and more far distance. He really Springs and blows up like Dima advised him. Good work!👍🔥🔥
Perhaps this rubber gives him the confidence to do that because, as he says, he doesn't feel like the ball is going to fly off the end if he rips into it. Maybe this is a good rubber for him to use in competition.
Hello Dan, thank you for posting this review. It would have been awesome if you would compared the 7, 9 and X versions together as there is a huge fan base for the entire Rakza series. Also, you have reviewed control oriented rubbers in the past. I was very inclined to check how Rakza stacks up against other control oriented rubbers like Xiom Vega X or Butterfly Rozena. Another tip here is that how rubbers pair up with Limba top blades Vs. Koto top blades. This changes the performance and output as well.
Rakza 7 was my first rubber for forehand, it was fantastic, good control, I moved on to Vega X, cuz I needed something a bit faster. Looking forward for your reviews, let there be rakza Z review and nittaku G1 fast arc review. All in all, great job, continue reviewing equipment, and serving the community, thank you.
If you are a FH dominant player, then get a better rubber like MX P or R 47 and put this rubber in your BH. You will love it, I have been using Rakza 7 BH and MX P hard FH on my Viscaria for couple of months and enjoying it thoroughly.
You sold me on consistency. Started using the Hurricane 3 after so many years of not playing, but realized I need more consistent as I improve my technique. Thank you.
@@suhulahmed7422 garbage forget it. If you train like 4 5 hours per days is good, anyway garbage i tried all of the styles, these janapase close to chinise they vety good. Nittaku pk 50 im using now is extraoridanary.
Rakza 7 both sides with max sponge on an all wood AR+ or OFF- blade is literally all you need as a modern both wing attacking player that looks for the ideal balance between shot quality and control.
Rakza 7 has easily accessible spin at fairly medium speeds. My serves with Rakza7 cause many opponents problems. A great all round spinny rubber with a focus on control. Can't go wrong with it! Recommended for intermediate players.
Iv'e been playing with the Rakza series for over 2 years now. Rakza 7 on the backhand and Rakza 9 on the forehand. I totally agree with what was being said in the video. Awesome controll, good blocking. As i counter player, i highly recommend using this rubber. I have awesome controll with counter topspin close to the table with both Rakza 7 and 9. While 7 having more controll and 9 having more spin.
I am really enjoying your reviews, becauce they are quite professional! But to rate Tenergy 05 with 10 at flat hits is simply ridiculous and completely incorrect. Everybody knows that smashing with little or no spin is the only weakness of Tenergy 05 besides control!
Are your comparisons always on maximum sponge thickness or 2.0/2.1 ... or what number? thanks a lot! :) ...and it would be cool to put the rozena in the list, too. really appreciate your efforts!
You guys should've reviewed the soft rubber at the same time. I use rakze 7 on my fh and it works very well. As you say the spin isn't great, it takes a lot(which teaches more imo) but I've heard the soft version is incredible on the bh
Very nice. I used Rakza 7 for a while, which worked pretty good. I’m currently using Rakza X on the backhand and Rakza PO (short pimples, same as Mattias Falck) on forehand. It would be great if you could do a review on those some day :)
Great review. I went from Hurricane 3 to Rakza 7 and wow - Rakza 7 was just such a great rubber I couldn't believe it. It was so impressive I just bought the real deal with Tynergy 05. Saving my sheet of Rakza though for some other blades I have, it's is so very very nice to hit with!
I am using Rakza 7 on my backhand since 3 months. Indeed I particularly like it because of the relative control it gives when opening on backspin balls ...
It bounce quite well, excellent for smashing. Just bought 2 Rakza Z, it does not bounce well, may be better for looping & spinning. Tenergy 05 has high rating, may be I should give it a try, costs almost twice as Rakza 7. Thx
Previously I am using Rakza 7 for my FH. Lack to my injury I am changed to RITC 804 antispin. For my BH I am using Spinlord Gigant Antispin. Hard to win, but I am focusing more than exercise. Love to fight attacking player rather than defender. Hahahaha. Really good video buddy.
been hoping for this review for years! would have liked to see the entire Rakza range reviewed but that would have been tedious for you guys. The Bluefire JP or Bluestorm series' by Donic would be cool, also maybe some Victas rubbers. Love the vids, keep up the good work TTD!
Rakza 9 is more speed oriented and Rakza X has more of that "biting" effect on contact. There is even the new hybrid Rakza Z, shame not to have included them in this review :/ Nice review on this great rubber btw, and best wishes for 2021 ;)
You can find speed and spin in the Soft version of the Rakza 7. I'm playing with it in my forehand, and I found that I produce more spin with my Rakza 7 Soft than when I tried out an MX-P. I think it would be interesting for you to have a look at this rubber, now that you played with the "normal" version.
@@C0BEX I don't see what I could do wrong by giving both rubbers the same tests. I've played with both (R7Soft and MX-P) for at least 2 hours and this is what came out for me. I've tried them both on the exact same blade too. And I get more speed and more spin out of the Rakza than I get out of the MX-P.
@@avengermm3322 Can't say anything about MX-P. But I played both Rakza 7 standard and Soft not just for some hours, but I went through a couple of sheets. The standard version is definitely faster and has higher spin potential than the soft. While at the same time it is easier to access spin on the soft, thats why it is so popular on the backhand.
@@C0BEX I agree. People who claim Rakza 7 is not that spinny are doing something wrong. It is way spinnier than MX-P first of all, and softer sponges give more dwell time to make it easier to produce spin but harder sponges produces more as you hit harder (it has a higher "spin ceiling")
Nice one Dan. Have used Victas Sticky Extra and think that’s a bit similar. Your forehand is getting better snd better!!! Could you review the Victas Gear (In) blade,plus Victas V401 runbers
Nice one Dan. Used Rakza X soft on a viscaria two seasons ago and really liked it for control and spin. Unfortunately,the actual quality of the rubber was very poor. Had t re-glue on a more regular occasions,but just found it tore easily on even the most slightest of scuffs against table (sorry Chatman!). Just my take on it. Would love to try it. Currently,as I’m sure you boringly know,Victas blade and runners for me now. Quartet blade V401 F/H.. Double extra B/H! Love it. Review please!! Am being patient!!! Lol leo
I usually agree with your reviews but saying that this rubber is not very spinny really surprised me. To me it is very very spinny. And many people in the comments are saying the same thing as well. I do agree on everything else though, everyone has a different perspective of course. Thanks for sharing your opinion!
@@jayb293 Rakza Z or Rakza Z Extra Hard dont need booster, but some time to soft, you will notice that after some time the rubber si tackier and softer :)
@@vladimirstudnicka4343 boosting such a great rubber doesn't make real sense. i don't like rubbers that play by themselves. i'm also a H3 player and Rakza Z is exactly what i need to have the boosted H3 feeling with a bit more punch. absolutely perfect for H3 lovers. the only reason i would boost it is, if it comes with an inward curled sponge. which means the rubber lost a bit of freshness. a little layer of booster to bring it back flat and ready to go.
TableTennisDaily: Can you guys compare test Donic Bluestorm Z1 Turbo with Tibhar MX-D and Stiga DNA Platinum XH and Andro Rasanter R53 rubbers and see what you think about these rubbers.
Rakza 7 is not spinny because it is not a typical tensor. They are using a Euro stroke which is better suited for tenergy/spring sponge. Use a chinese forehand stroke and you will get a very spinny rubber but not too much speed
Nice, but where is the test of the Nittaku Fastarc G1 and P1? One of the most strong grip with good control apparently, probably much better than this one and cheaper. 🤔 Best sellers on TT11.com.
You know, I'd love to talk to an engineer at one of those companies - there has to be some serious sciencing going on to make these rubbers the way they are. :) Keep up the great work, too.
It sounds really weird that you guys don’t generate a lot of spin because I use this rubber and I get tons of spin and I know more players using this rubber that also gets a lot of spin in their looping etc.
@@TTDPocketRocket Yes exactly. I use Rakza 7 on my forehand and Rakza 7 Soft on my backhand and I generate tons of spin with my forehand loop so idk what they’re talking about tbh.
Their stroke is very compact. The r7 topsheet is thick and hard paired with medium hard sponge. You need to dig into the sponge to generate tons of spin. If you look at Dan’s stroke its for bty spring sponge stroke. R7 behaves almost like a hurricane 3
T05 on an all wood All+ blade is a great combination with long pips: all the spin but a bit less speed and fantastic control, plus a good speed contrast between the 2 sides of the bat.
Hi TTD! How does the Rakza 7 compare to the Rakza 7 Soft for backhand? My backhands are very strong, and my coach recommended the Rakza 7 but I accidentally got the Soft version. The thing is now I’ve gotten used to the Soft so I’m not sure whether to get the soft again or get the normal version. What are your thoughts on this?
A little late, but I use the regular on my backhand. And I can't ask for any better rubber for my bh. It's very affordable too. People that want "faster faster" stuff don't know what they are talking about, unless they are someone rated USATT 2200+ You are not losing points because your "bh rubber isn't faster enough" most of the times.
Depends on how strong your BH is. The soft version is easier to play but if you feel like the ball sinks too far into the rubber and loses a bit of speed than I'd suggest going for the regular version. As a BH dominant player I like the regular version more because I tend to do a lot of hard flicks and opening spins with BH and not play very passive on that side
Rakza 7 was good with cellulo. now you have to go X or Z. and they are better than Tenergy IMO. spin is there, more control and better price. what else? they also go with so many blades, they're actually the most versatile rubbers. if you are a powerful player, they'll reward you for that. if you like to play spinny game, they'll be there too!
What I like most about Rakza 7 on BH is that it really keeps the pressure even at mid and far distance from the table. It's also really good for a 3rd/4th ball attack with the amounts of spin and precision it has. It's not that good for hard topspin shots on the FH cause it slightly lacks power in this area
I had used Rakza 7 for a few years and then gave Rakza Z a try. Could you review Rakza Z and Rakza Z extra hard. I'm liking both the Z and Z extra hard, not sure which one I like best but the Z extra hard is noticeably heavier.

You guys should definitely do the nittaku fast arch series(or maybe just the G1 and C1), those are really popular in japan and the US it seems.
I agree
yup but P1 is only only one made for plastic call and the most recent and fastest one.
Best is G1 it's harder and faster than P1 for some reason
@@joshuaeaton5566 Well, Nittaku note P1 faster than G1 and most people confirm it.
@@Julottt I've tried both and I find G1 faster, maybe I'm imagining it
I use rakza 9 (max sponge) as forehand and rakza 7 (2.0 sponge) for backhand. super happy with my setup :)
Maybe some Nittaku reviews next? Fastarc G-1 would be cool.

Is it rakza 7 FH and rakza 7 soft BH a good convination?
Great review was just what I was waiting for to do a comparison between this and the MXP.
Nittaku Fastarc G1 next!!!

As a BH dominant player I like the regular version more because I tend to do a lot of hard flicks and opening spins with BH and not play very passive on that side
Rakza 7 was good with cellulo. now you have to go X or Z. and they are better than Tenergy IMO. spin is there, more control and better price. what else? they also go with so many blades, they're actually the most versatile rubbers. if you are a powerful player, they'll reward you for that. if you like to play spinny game, they'll be there too!
Can we have ratings for other reviewed rubbers like r53, omega 7 pro, etc
It appears that Dan is finally learning a backhand after working with Dimi.
FINALLY!!!!!!
Legit 🤣
You looked a bit like Chinese players with that kind of control. I think their rubbers are more allround as well.
Whoch do u think have more spin the Rakza 7 or Hexer Grip ?
What I like most about Rakza 7 on BH is that it really keeps the pressure even at mid and far distance from the table. It's also really good for a 3rd/4th ball attack with the amounts of spin and precision it has. It's not that good for hard topspin shots on the FH cause it slightly lacks power in this area
