Rakza XX now available on TT11. Anybody planning on getting this?

The TT world just keeps getting more and more confusing and flooded. If this XX is supposed to be the new flagship rubber, why not just retire the X and replace it with the XX?

I do like Yasaka and depending on the characteristics I will try it…

It's double the Xs, which obviously means double the performance, so why retire the previous one?

 

[Kolev]

It is already more expensive and I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be harder and heavier as well - just another demanding resources rubber. At the very end, after reading all the initial and exited reviews I will probably put some effort to allow myself to buy one

got one at home, but have no time to test.
did not read any reviews yet, so i will wait for reviews. Did anybody find some reviews in english ?

Have you unpacked it and if so - what is the weight and does it have a smell of a booster? My Rakza(s) X didn't smell but I still suspect there is some kind of a tunning

It’s posted on Yasaka.se It doesn’t say much but my guess is a harder sponge and the same topsheet as Rakza X.
It may be bouncier which is not so good.

Sry, did not open it yet. I want to keep it pristine until I decide to use it

My thoughts exactly. According to TT-Japan, the sponge has larger air bubbles, so it most likely will be faster than RX.

Made for me, made for you...

It should be L-zr, anything else is a typo.
My mobile has a small keypad and the spellchecker lives it’s own life…

Of course, it was just a stupid joke, forget it.
