Rakza 7 vs Neottec X5-M

[Marcus Thomsen]

Hey,

Given the similar price point of both rubbers, I was wondering what the difference is between them?
Anyone played with both that can share? Cheers!

Rakza 7 is a tensor rubber while X5-M is not.

Rakza 7 is a bit soft and outdated and X5-M was a disappointment when it came to spin and feel. If you want a non Chinese rubber with a good price to performance ratio, get the Stiga Mantra Pro H or M from aliexpress. If you don't mind older tech but something proven and better than the Rakza 7 and X5-M at close to the same price, go with the Nittaku Fastarc G1.
