Tried using Rakza9 on BH and Rakza7 Soft on FH, Blade Victas Firefall AC, a hard blade with soft outer ply.. Since i'm used to Donic Baracuda on either side, these rubbers for sure give lower throw angle and further trajectory than Baracuda. Both rubbers need an emphasize on the using of wrist to do flips, and is not that spinny..

Rakza 9 is awesome for smashing tho, i can smash an incoming topspin ball from under the table (from middle distance). On my blade it doesn't feel as hard as people said, but again it's on my blade.

IMO Rakza 9 is not a hard rubber
It is medium only.
To me, it is too soft for my FH (coming from H3 for many years).

R9 is very fast, and difficult to generate a good amount of spin.
Rakza 7 is more spinnier than Rakza 9.

I tested them on Yasaka Extra, Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive, and Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon.
Due to the speed, I put Rakza 9 on YE now
