Yasaka Extra Offensive 7 Power combo

[JoaoG]

I'm an intermediate level player both side offensive spinny-looper looking for a new setup, since my old one got ruined.

I'm planning on getting a Yasaka Extra Offensive 7 Power

Been looking into this rubbers:
Nittaku Fastarc G-1 max FH
Yasaka Rakza X 2.0 BH

Would like to get some thoughts and recommendations

Did you get the setup? How is your experience?

Yes. First time I use a carbon blade and it feels really good. The transition to Rakza X was easy it's a very controllable and forgiving rubber, a little bit slow for my taste. On the other hand Fastarc G-1 has a completly different feeling. It's fast and spinny. I'm still getting used to it but the more I play and get my technique right the more I feel its potencial and enjoy playing with it. Both rubbers play well in BH and FH. For now I'll keep on playing with this combo. As my technique gets better I would probably use the G-1 for BH and get a similar (fast) FH rubber

How do you find the blade in terms of speed and stiffness? Can you compare it to any other blade you've used? I've been eyeing this blade for a while, as I'm looking for a stiff, fast blade in the OFF range, but not too fast.

The blade is stiff. Definetly stiffer than other yasaka blades I've used (like SW classic). Have little vibration but I wouldn't say it is too fast. Wouldn't even consider it OFF+.
Guess it will depend on the rubber choice. Like I said in the reply above, the rubber really changes the feel. In my case with the G-1 it is fast (sometimes a little too much but is what I'm aiming for) and with the rakza X is slower, feeling very balanced
