23/07/2023 excellent pips Review by Jenny

Quality

high speed and spin, excellent short pips.

20/06/2023 Not many short pips can do what Rakza PO does Review by Anton Kukeste

Quality

Still one of the best short pips available on the market for close to the table play. Smashes are very controlled and extremely fast.

20/02/2023 Very good. Review by Mateus Ponchio

Quality

I've been playing with these in my backhand for 3 years now. I used to have TSP Spectol Red, but I like Raksa PO the most.

08/02/2023 Pretty good Review by Jon Gustavson

Quality

These pips are good for serve returns and fast forehand drives. Not as versatile as medium pips, but pretty good for strong shots.

Контрольные шипы! Рекомендую…

30/11/2022 Bouncy, spinny short pips Review by JK

Quality

Quite bouncy rubber. most of the factory booster effect fades after 1-2 months. Best for counter attack (hitting thru spin). Not so great for smashing but good spinny short pips

30/07/2022 Spinny Pips Review by Nathanael Santi

Quality

Very spinny for SP. horizontal structure, more offense-oriented, as opposed to defense.

05/05/2022 Short pips that have some inverted rubber properties Review by Anton Kukeste

Quality

My current proffered choice of forehand short pips rubber. Using the max sponge gives me similar properties to inverted rubber in terms of spin on serves and topspins, while the short pips nature of the rubber offers excellent flat hit possibility and extreme pace on the ball on direct hits. Since it's one of the fastest short pips rubbers out there, it's not easy to control in max thickness, so people who want to try these pips should aim for 1.8 or 2.0 sponge thickness.

21/04/2022 It surprised me! Review by Alvaro Neira

Quality

I have played with other brands back in the days. This one has a learning curve relatively short. Really easy to use, and flat hits are remarkably precise (if you adapt the bat angle) due to its soft sponge hardness. As everybody says, has lots of spin when you have the touch enough to sink the ball correctly in the sponge. I wouldn't say deception is one of its major attributes, but it performs well in that department. The biggest advantage I see in Rakza PO is the ease to apply changes in the speed and pace during a rally due to the high control it gives you, once you adapt to the angles needed to block different levels of spin/force, it gives you a pretty tool for controlling the pace of points (I'm a Penholder by the way). It took me about 3-4 weeks to gain consistency and confidence with this sp.

23/03/2022 Very good fast and spinny short pips Review by Joe Drolet

Quality

I have also tested many different short pips over the years. I found this to be very fast, spinny, and believe it or not this is very controllable too.

This rubber also has a good effect whenever blocking an opponent's loops. I noticed when I was blocking that the looper would sometimes hit my blocks into the net.

Out of the short pips with new sponge technology, this was the one I was going to use, but I decided to use older short pips. An older short pips with the old-school sponge. I felt that I did not need the extra catapult effect that the new technology sponge has. This is mainly because I am a blocker and flat hitter. I hit hard enough not to need the extra boost that all of these new sponge technology seems to have.

08/11/2021 Works super Review by Bjarne Freund-Poulsen

Quality

Works super, low, and dangerous blocks and is one of the only short pimples you really can loop on.

31/08/2021 Top pick for spinny and fast short pips Review by Anton Kukeste

Quality

Spinny and fast short pips. Up there with the likes of Victas VO>102, Andro Blowfish, Der Materialspezialist Firestorm Soft, and Yinhe Uranus Pro Soft in terms of putting a spin on the ball. While a bit harder to control than VO>102 and Uranus Pro when blocking, Rakza PO has a tad more pronounced sinking effect. In terms of speed, PO is about as fast as Firestorm Soft and a bit faster than VO>102 or Yinhe Uranus Pro Soft.

04/03/2021 Rubber Yasaka Rakza PO/ max Review by Adrian Ivan

Quality

Very good rubber! Nice for chop/block, easy for smash, and topspin!
I recommend it!

11/01/2021 Speed and spin Review by Anton Kukeste

Quality

Great short pips that are able to produce amazing amounts of spin (for short pips rubber). Insanely fast. Unfortunately, while it's able to produce a good amount of spin it's also more sensitive to incoming spin when compared to for example Spinlord Waran or Yinhe Uranus Pro (two short pips rubbers that also produce a great deal of spin, while not being too sensitive to incoming spin)

06/01/2020 Pips Out for Mima Ito Look-Alikes Review by Erwin J Prinz

Quality

I am using Rakza 7 Soft for one side of the racket and contrast it with Rakza PO pips-out on the other side. I think the sponge at 2mm thickness is probably very similar or the same. Therefore I can flat hit the same way with both sides but have very different spin which makes for interesting options similar to what Mima Ito is using (I try to copy her every move at my 50+ age). Great rubber, much fun to play. I use a Yasaka blade such as Ma Lin Extra Offensive. I haven't settled yet on the speed, I have Battle Balsa, MLEO, Ma Lin Soft Carbon, and Goiabaio5. For now, it's Battle Balsa for tournament play.

15/11/2019 Love the control and spin Review by David Hou

Quality

This Rubber is a great forehand rubber for players that cannot loop consistently. I can slow the ball down and speed drive the ball as well. Looping is much easier for me on this rubber.

18/06/2019 Yasaka Rakza PO Review by Boris Senegacnik

Quality

I play with this rubber on my forehand side, the rebound is similar to the Yasaka Rakza X, but it is not as complicated for opponents as the DHS Dragonow.

13/06/2019 Good attacking pimples Review by Carl Johnson

Quality

My first time to play with pimples. After 4 weeks, I'm spinning and hitting fast. Good for my backhand attack, and backhand side-spin serve. Still need time to master the block with this rubber.

Good value.

15/02/2019 Excellent pimples for looping Review by Viacheslav SEREDA

Quality

If we are talking about FH, I can put this pimples in one row with Victas 102 and 802-40. Rakza PO is very, very good in looping. Everebody can see FH of Mattias Falck. But for playing on the table my favorite is Victas 102. At the same time 1 and 2 zone-Rakza PO is unrivalled.

06/12/2017 Excellent pips out rubber Review by SEAN

Quality

I used it on y old blade and didn't need too much adjustments on my new blade to use this rubber. Excellent to attack and block, very fast. Maybe not as good as some pips in rubber. Or maybe I need to improve my skills on chopping and receiving top spin serve.
