Hi all,
I like Rakza 7 so much. I have already bought 3 sheets:
- 1st sheet: gluing with Free Chack (i did it myself). No peeling off at all after few weeks. Then I removed it as I found it too fast, and then switched back to Mark V. After few months with Mark V, i re-glued Rakza 7. No peeling off at all until it became too old to play.
- 2nd sheet: gluing with the same Free Chack (i did it myself as well), but the rubber started peeling off (around the blade) just few weeks later. I have then tried to re-glue the rubber multiple times, but the same problem still kept coming few days later.
- 3rd sheet: I went to a local table tennis shop to get it glued yesterday, but today the rubber has started to peel off. They used another Japanese glue (not sure about the brand). A brand new sheet of Rozena was also glued by the same shop yesterday, but no problem at all!!!
Have you guys encountered this problem?
*Note: My blade is sealed with Joola sealer, equally on both sides. However, I have never had such problem with other rubbers (Sriver EL, Rozena, Mark V, Vega Europe). I am using Rozena on the other side, and the glue is super sticky on Rozena. I am really sick and tired of the Rakza 7 problem. I am considering using Tenergy 05 instead of Rakza 7. Maybe the sponge of Rakza 7 is the culprit! It seems like Butterfly sponge works really well with any water-based glue!
