Need Recommendation For Rakza 7!

[ZhangJike]

Hi all!
I have Rakza 7 both on my FH and BH. What kind of blade (Only Butterfly, Yasaka, Stiga, or Donic!) would be suitable for me? Would TBS be alright? (It's kinda expensive though )

 

[Amayzde]

depends on what was your previous blade

Rakza 7 is high throw so be careful with pure wood blades.

Can you explain the relationship between high throw and all wood blades? Does that also count for the tenergy rubbers in combinatoin with all wood?

You see man, I don't have a proper blade right now. I used to have a READY MADE (not custom, but manufactured) Stiga racket. Something similar to Butterfly's Wakaba. I played a lot with it, and when the time to upgrade came, I took off it's rubbers! And replaced them with Rakza 7 So now I wanna change my blade as well.

well even if you want to play fast i reccomend you using a slow blade at first and once u are used to rakza 7 you can get a faster blade. If you change your rubbers and your blade at the same time and its not similair to what you have used before it can get hard to adapt.

Yeap! That is what I did. I have now been playing with Rakza 7 for 2 months. I think I have adapted quite well to it. That's why I wanted to change the blade now...

90% of the pure wood blades have natural high throw angle. So in general you have combine them with middle throw angle rubbers.

They are players who can play a T05 on a pure wood blade, well i couldnt and most of them cant.

For the average of TT players Rakza 7 is more for carbon blades ESPECIALLY on the backhand (forehand you should be good). So depends of your technique and playing style if you like high throw or not. Forehand maybe yes but backhand is pretty hard, youre technique gotta be really good for this so i recommend you carbon blade or an other backhand rubber.

Thanks a lot for your input man!

An arylate carbon is good for Rakza 7. I was using TBS + Rakza 7 as forehand rubber for at least a year and enjoyed that set up. ( control is good plus power on demand ). I decided to upgrade lately because I felt I can handle a more powerful blade.

Hmmm. Seems like an arylate-carbon blade is the way to go!

I think that if your previous blade was a premade one for beginners, you should not jump straight to an ALC offensive blade yet.. I would suggest an allround blade, Stiga Allround Classic, or Butterfly Grubba All, maybe Allround Classic Carbon.. Donic Appelgren Allplay Senso V1 is also good

Yeah, I was thinking the same at first. But then I'll have to spend money again when buying a carbon blade couple of years later, so...

You dont have to, you can still upgrade your rubbers a few times before changing up in speed from allround to a more offensive one, so you can play many years with an allround blade before changing

In my opinion, TBS + Rakza 7 is controllable even to intermediate players.
