Yasaka Rakza 9 is the fastest rubber in the Yasaka Hybrid Energy family and is designed for players who want to play quickly, directly, and offensively. It is developed for technically well-equipped offensive players who use a combination of speed, spin, and precise ball placement in their game.
Compared to the Rakza 7 model, Rakza 9 has a faster and more direct response and a lower throw angle. The ball travels in a flatter, penetrating trajectory, suiting players who like to attack early, execute fast counters, loop-drive shots, and finish aggressively.
The upper rubber uses a newly developed rubber compound with high grip, enabling effective rotation generation in topspin, serves, and fast attacking shots. Despite the emphasis on speed, Rakza 9 still preserves good spin potential, allowing the player to combine penetrating power with rotation.
The new rubber is made from a more homogeneous material and has larger pores. Such a structure helps create a more explosive rebound, a stronger acceleration feel, and more speed with less effort. Approximately 42.5° medium-hard rubber offers a solid, clear, and responsive contact with the ball.
Rakza 9 is an excellent choice for players who want a faster alternative to the Rakza 7 and play with an active swing. It performs best in attacking near the table or at mid-distance, where the player takes the initiative with fast topspins, counters, and powerful finishing blows.
