Information
Rakza X Soft is a high-performance inverted rubber designed for spin-oriented attackers seeking a softer, more forgiving feel. It features Yasaka's New Surface System (NSS) topsheet, which provides exceptional grip for heavy spin on loops and serves. The soft ~42.5°ESNsponge maximizes dwell time, resulting in a high-arc trajectory that makes it easier to clear the net and apply pressure. Despite the soft sponge, the built-in Tensor technology generates a noticeable catapult effect, ensuring sufficient speed for offensive play without sacrificing control. This rubber excels in the short game and mid-distance rallies, allowing players to easily lift backspin and execute spinny loops. Compared to the standard Rakza X, the Soft version offers greater control and a higher throw, making it more accessible for players who want offensive capabilities with a softer, more linear response. It is particularly well-suited for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize spin and control over sheer speed. Available in 1.8mm and 2.0mm thicknesses, Rakza X Soft is an excellent choice for the backhand or for players transitioning from slower setups to modern offensive rubbers.
