Rakza series vs Tenergy?

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Divide by countries then. National player from any country == Provincial level player from China.

But really I think high level players are going to win even with cheap equipment. As always, it's not about Rakza vs Tenergy, it's about skill. Go buy whatever popular Rakza and spend money on good coach. Find what suits your playstyle better by trying different rubbers from your friends/club mates.

well, 200+ countries in the world, the skills level of 1 vs 50, vs 100, vs 150, vs 200 is very very different.
I've seen 1 and 200 with my own eyes.

Basically, any one with fairly decent level of skills, won't need the rubber to say what kind of level it is suited for.
Its only normally the beginners that would need guidance, any proper club level or higher would have the knowhow or resources to understand the rubber beyond what the packaging says.

Rakza 7 supposedly has more control and a good throw angle for most people. It is also medium tacky and has a good amount of grip that makes looping and brushing underspin balls a cakewalk. If you're buying a rakza rubber, I would suggest rakza X, or rakza 7

Rakza 7 not tacky at all

There is absolutely no tackiness in either Rakza 7 or Rakza X. That is ONLY with Rakza Z You will get that...
The reason one would like Rakza 7 above Rakza X it is softer, slower and easier to play with.
(The reason one would dislike it is the same)

tacky normally refers to stickiness
only Z has that sticky top sheet.

Of the Rakza family, 7 and X is the most popular.

Why is rakza 9 not popular?

If its the fastest, seems like it would be a good BH rubber?

 

[Lazer]

Generally too hard and fast for a low level player and not spinny enough for higher level players.

Its not always about the speed

Well, depends on your playstyle. If you don't care about the control and you can control the ball yourself speed does matter. Generally im guessing people wouldn't go for the Rakza 9 because there is simply better Rakza's in the series that have a good speed like itself. Like Rakza X

Its not about able or not able to control speed.
as I said, its not always about the speed
That is why many fast blades/rubbers are not necessary popular

This post I don’t understand, You always control never the blade. The blade makes is harder or easier but ultimately is always up to the player..

Watch out for “brokenball” he may see this post. 🤨

I question I have is what can you do with any of the rubbers above that you can't do with the other rubbers?

Say I'm 5 meters behind the table and have to hit the ball very hard than the perpendicular (COR, speed of the rubber) and/or tangential parameter (speed and spin potential) 1) of one rubber might be to low 2) to get the ball back on the table. Or try to play a counter loop where your racket has to be nearly parallel to the floor on impact with two identical rubbers except for their topsheet grip and so on.

@Michael, you really need to worry less about the rubber and boosting and more on you you play.
Can you define "offensive potential" for us?

@Oscarting rubbers do not have accuracy. People have control or better, consistency.

Is that so? Rubbers and blades don't have accuracy, yes, but they can reduce precision because of e.g. non-uniform materials, process variations and because of their construction (e.g. think of a pimples-in rubber which has either or both say rectangular shaped pimples vs round ones or where the pimple shape varies every couple of millimeters or which has sparsely and densely pimpled areas). Since we are humans with limited repeatability these variations can lead to a lower overall accuracy of our shots.
How would I describe e.g. such a rubber? Maybe as uncontrollable...

Also, can you define throw angle? Better yet, can you define what causes throw angle?

It is amazing how people claim to be able to tell the difference of a few micro seconds.

Quite simple: Get someone to feed you multi-ball. Execute the same stroke and see how much clearance over the net your shots will have. You could also setup some high-speed cameras and measure angles between the incoming and outgoing ball and the racket...

2) in general the higher the impact velocity the lower these parameters

i just found this photo. It reminds me of the tenery throw angle photo.

Does rakza X, 7, 9 correspond to Tenergy 05, 64, 80? Is that meant to be the concept of the Rakza series? Or is the photo just a coincidence.

Does it mean that for speed Rakza 9 > 7 > X ?

I'll have to A/B rakza 7 and X. I find this picture very confusing relative to what people say about the throw angle on rakza X. Rakza 7 I played with it long time ago and the throw is medium, then people say rakza X throw is very low. I have to test that myself.

I have used a few of the Razka rubbers. Razka z is the highest throw (sometimes to high and a heavy rubber) great spin and control (slower than dignics 09c) Razka 7 medium throw, not very fast lots of control , Razka x is probably the lowest throw of the lot, faster than 7. A friend has xx its higher throw than x and a touch faster. I don't like Razka 9 - the fastest but I felt it lacked control.

 

[MORTtheORT]

I tried rakza 7 soft today mostly on BH. It has a nice arc and is easy to loop with mid distance.

But it lacks that shotgun authoritative punch when you hit through the ball (its soft no duh).

I guess dignics, mxp, and g1 have more of that authoritative feeling that I like.

Rakza 7 soft is great for kids.

Just marketing rubbish. I think this stuff is used to give an indication only of what they are like for based around the different style of players and what they are looking for within the range a company sells. But I wouldn't see these angles etc as exactly what you expect as it comes down to the person using them. More for say you are using the Rakza 9 but you need more safety with net clearance so you can see which rubber should give you more net clearance.

How does xx compare to razka 7!
