Sosfest tacky rubber in 2026? Rakza Z?

Looking forward to your impressions on Nuzn 48 and Vega China. I haven't tried many rubbers, to be fair. Every time I've changed it's because it's a present. I started with a premade Palio many moons ago, then Rakza 7 on both sides of a YSE was my very first custom. Then G1/C1, then Omega 8...

Yeah I meant Rakza Z. I have never used chinese rubbers and the only "hybrid" that I have used in the Nuzn 48, which to be honest it's just a tensor IMO. @victormanriquey what would be easier to use / adapt coming from tensors? Rakza Z or Vega China?

I remember I read a similar comment on another thread and shared a similar personal anecdote there. I remember the first time I started to train with the "grown-ups" at my club when I started playing, I had rakza 7 1.8mm on both side. This chinese guy I was training with, stopped mid-game...

How does the Vega china compares to rakza X in term of playing characteristics?

That's a good point. The naming convention and the official description is rather confusing and inconsistent. Now that the R7H is out, I hope someone can make a deep dive into the rakza lineup with a very comprehensive comparison

And even then, I find the nuzn to have way more catapult than a G1. Probably less catapulty than other standard modern tensor.

Looking forward to your comparison with Rakza Z. That's one rubber I have shortlisted

The way I understanding is that T19 is the most user-friendly of the Tenergy line that is not an FX model. Purely based on reviews. I remember I watched the review made by Timo, and the wording he used was something along the lines of "tenergy for everyone", or something like that. Which is a...

To me, it's just a tensor with very high grip. Very bouncy IMO, I like it a lot on FH, I'll flip my bat today to have a feeling for it on BH. It may be an option later on. I'm tempted to go back G1 on FH or something more linear or solid in the short game like Rakza Z. If Nunz 48 works fine on...

Fastarc: Linear, high arc Omega pro: bouncy, low arc Very different in my opinion but both good. It's a personal preference really. If your technique is not polished, I would agree Rakza 7 would be a better all-around rubber until you decide what's best for your playing style. Believe me you...

I changed both my blade and rubbers, which I strongly advise against, but it was a Christmas gift from my wife, so I didn't have much of a choice. I went from a Tibhar Stratus Power Wood with Fastarc G1/C1 to a Butterfly Innerforce ALC Layer with Omega 8 Pro/Eur. It took me weeks to adapt and...

What about the throw angle of the mantra pro series?

dang it, is the durability that bad?

I think that's the general consensus, isn't it? Maybe the high end of RZ is higher, but most people report rakza 7 being faster in the low and mid gears. I have never tried RZ myself (I think played R7 a couple of years back), just been doing a bit of digging on RZ, and that seems to be a...

Is it true that the Nuzn 48 feel very similar to the Hybrid MK? I have the Nuzn but never tried the Hybrid MK. It the reports are correct, it could be a very comparable alternative with better durability.

I haven't tried that many hybrids, but even the few that are considered "linear", like NUZN and Hybrid MK, I found them considerably bouncier in the short games than G1.

You are absolutely spot on this one. The short game is a lot better to me on G1 than many of these 50'ish deg hybrids. I've found them still very bouncy.

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.

@victormanriquey high-quality guide with sound advice across the board, in my humble opinion. Reading your guide, you mention Rakza Z is one of your favourite backhand rubbers, which, funny enough, is the opposite of what most people recommend for backhand (soft tensor with high bounciness to...
