Has anyone seen the difference between Rakza 9 and Rakza 7?

(9 on top)

Is this as it should be? (Normal)

Checking up on my new order of rubbers. ;)

Sorry, now I see how this looks! :)
The Rakza 7's in the "rubbers from the shop" are not mine! :)

I have some old ones I play!
Whantes to know if the Rakza 9 sponge is supposed to look like it does in the image. If it looks normal. :)

Most of the newest ESN offerings have pores in their sponge so the answer would be yes.

Thanks!
Well, the structure sure is different than the 7's and the BD.

... Yes... I may have overdone the paraffin-mambo.. :oops:

Nah, that is only a little dome. [emoji2]

We will find out how the Rakza 9 plays soon enough, and the Big Dipper. Sweet.

New swag is always exciting.

So you think I should put on some more? :D

Edit: this is the third time i have the 7's off a blade. They have now lost that spotless new look. Actually, they look pretty bad as the prints from the newspaper i use to cover my table leave ugly black marks on the red rubber.. Have to clean them somehow.. :)

The Rakza 9 sponge started doming pretty early. There's maby just 3 layers on there. The BD on the other hand was pretty stiff at first. Says "pre tuned" on the box. Now it's also "post tuned" an quite squiggly! ;)

Their goin on different blades.
The 9 will be the new FH paired with the old 7 I have om my main Banda.
The BD will be the new FH paired with the old 7soft on the newer (older) Banda.

Will be fun to change things up a bit. :)

First couple of hits with the Big Dipper.
(Its so far the most stuborn rubber ive ever seen. Refused to be glued down. Stared back at me like a sassy clam!)

But.. It must be the most value for money rubber ive tried.
Boosted, sure, but lovley! Less tack than H3, imo MUCH better sponge.
Great balance...

First hits with the Rakza 9.

Speed: of the chart. To hard for me to control. Faster than Rakza 7.
Spin: less than Rakza 7.
Control: less than Rakza 7.

Weight: TO HEAVY! :( This, the "main Banda" feels like a brick!
The other one with the Big Dipper and Rakza 7 feels like half the weight! :/
