Which Yasaka setup would you choose?

[spinreversal]

Hi friends,

In this video, I recap my experience switching to a setup from Yasaka.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you had the chance to test a setup from Yasaka, which equipment would you choose?

Thanks for your advice and for taking the time to watch.

Best regards,

I don’t like any of their blades. As far as rubbers goes I do like Rakza Z on FH and Rakza 7 on BH…

Rakza Z is definitely a good choice

I am suprised to see Rakza Z having a high throw. When I was looping the same as with my D09c it barely crossed the net. But maybe it's true since my brother tends to overshoot more (he loops upwards almost always lol)

Never tried the Falck or pips but I like Rakza Z as a FH rubber.
If I had to choose only from Yasaka tomorrow I'd be happy with any of the Ma Lin blades (EO, SC or C) with.Z in FH and either X or 7 on BH.
Its good stuff!

D09c is scam rubber. First month throw is high.
After 20-40 hours the booster is done and IT is not sticky anymore, it is harder more grippy tenergy but throw is medium
I would choose if they pay me for using their equipment
Falck Carbon and Rakza Z on both sides
Or
Yasaka Sweden extra and Rakza XX on both sides

My experience with D09c is very different from yours. I find your post quite confusing. As D09c isn't factory boosted, where do you get that from? The initial tackiness goes away after a week which does create a high arc. But all my sheets are still tacky after training almost everyday 2/3 hours for 3/6 months.

Rakza z is good stuff, I like it.

Its Factory boosted. I reglued and shrunk 0,5-1cm

A scam?
It has great utility as a counter loop rubber, there's something about it's ability there that I haven't found that in Rakza Z or any other rubber. And it had very good longevity, mine still looks new after 10 wks of ~5/6hrs a wk.
The tackiness, yes it's more tacky when new but so are all rubbers so can't really knock it there.
I don't notice much difference without the tack tho, maybe a little in short game but I don't actually remember if it was different for first few wks tbh as I'm just used to it now but it's still a very good rubber for short play.
All in all I find it a higher performing Rakza Z that is more expensive but will last longer so price per month will be about the same 🤷‍♂️

Sounds like you didn't get genuine stuff tbh

I like Yasaka products, from the blade and rubbers.
I do own 3 blades, Yasaka Masamune, Resonate AI and Yasaka Sweden Extra. Have played with various rubbers such as Mark V, Rakza 7 and 7 Soft, Rakza X, Rakza Z.
If i had the choice i would like to try the Athletico Power Pro and Athletico Power. Not sure why many of the good products they have are not sold outside of Japan and China which makes it less accessible to players who are overseas.
In my opinion Yasaka should release a new forehand rubber after Rakza Z. Didn't quite like it as it's too heavy and too slow. Would like to try a new fh rubber from Yasaka when it's out!

I also like this rubbers combination

Thanks for your replay

Maybe it is about the sponge.

It’s good

Have you tried the Rakza X?

Which is the difference between X and Z?

What do you think about Rakza XX?

you just stretched the rubber too much when gluing it the first time

 

[Lazer]

Which is the difference between X and Z?

Rakza X is a classic bouncy ESN rubber. Rakza Z is a slightly tacky more linear rubber.

Masamune was good, but not for everyone.
Also, anyone play with the Athletico balance version? It's a Chinese market blade, so harder to get. It's an inner carbon hinoki structure.
