Something like between Rakza Z and Rakza Z extra hard

[massa]

Hi there.
I really like yasaka Rakza Z regular and extra hard
Both are really good with booster, but pretty heavy .
Is there any rubber with hardness between regular and extra hard?
Preferably with less weight
Thanks in advance

Xiom Tau 2, but this rubber may not be easily found, might have been discontinued. Xiom now have Tau 4 & 5 and could be worth checking out.
You could also checkout - Chinese Table Tennis Sweden - They are specialists in ‘tacky’ Chinese style equipment.

Thanks. Is Tau 2 as fast as Rakza Z?

I dont know about the weight, but in terms of hardness and stickiness and general feel my battle 3 °39 is pretty close

I suppose if you're looking into a lighter option, you could consider the dignics 09c but its quite a bit more expensive. I assume since you boost rakza z which in my opinion and other forums online is a slower version of dignics 09c but faster than h3. for dignics 09c you probably dont need to worry about booster. If you're on a budget, check the glayzer 09c. same sponge as d09c.

Razka Z is a pretty linear hybrid with standard hardness around 50-52 degrees (ESN scale), so the first question I'd ask is: Do you want another rubber that is also somewhat linear and similarly controlled like razka z? Or you are okey with non-linear like Rasanter C45, bluegrip C2 or 09c? Also, if you want linear, why boost razka?

Rakza Z is too slow without booster and the extra softness is really good for my BH. I'm was hopping to get some rubber for my FH similar to Rakza Z, but with hardness around 53°

Glayzer 09c, though it will need boosting, is probably the closest thing. Tibhar K3 if you don't mind ESN short life as well is reasonable.

Genextion V2C, compared to many other modern Euro hybrids I have tried it has some of that topsheet grabbiness of Rakza Z while being faster. Its nowhere near as sticky as Rakza Z though, and for a rubber that is as sticky and as grabby as RZ but with more speed I would recommend Gewo Codexx 52 but its as heavy as RZ, GV2C is a tic lighter.

i dont get it. that is what Rakza Z Extra Hard is for and it has that "more" hardness that you are searching for.

Rakza extra hard is good for me boosted, but my setup will be too heavy
When Rakza extra hard is boosted perhaps it is near 53° but I would like to have a similar rubber being as tacky and at least with the same speed but without having to boost it

 

[jk1980]

Why would you need to boost it? rakza Z Extra Hard has the same top sheet like Rakza Z and is 53° hardness without boosting. On top of it RZEH is off course quite faster than Rakza Z for anybody not suffering from muscle atrophy.
In the end it seems to boil down to your physique if you think it's slow then you are not getting enough power with your body, if you think it's too heavy then it is probably time to go to the gym

I wonder why boost a linear rubber like Rakza Z, then better get one with more catapult like for example Bluegrip C2 or so? Plenty of alternatives here. In any case in my experience, if technique is correct, Rakza Z is plenty fast unboosted yet heavy.

For FH, if you want such hardness, and like them tacky and are willing to boost and want light, in my opinion nothing is better than a well boosted H3N, personal preference though.

Xiom vega China+ is the best answer
