Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft has a topsheet similar to Rakza 7. The sponge is softer which gives the rubber more sound and bulit-in speed glue effect.

In the short return play, the ball feel is better.

When the player hits the ball hard, the rubber “grips” the ball and the stroke can be used to place the ball accurately, both in direction and length. The serve and short returns are very sharp and easy to handle. Due to the increased percentage of natural gum the durability is improved.

The first rubber to be introduced with Yasaka’s Hybrid Energy system was the Rakza 7, which is highly valued by high class players all over the world.
