Rakza 7 Soft is a spin-oriented rubber featuring a softer sponge that enhances dwell time, allowing for easier spin generation and control in fast exchanges. It provides a higher arc on loops and a more cushioned feel, making it ideal for players who prioritise spin-based attacks and precision.

With a high natural rubber content in the topsheet, Rakza 7 Soft offers exceptional grip, allowing for maximum spin generation on loops, serves, and short touches. The ~40° soft sponge increases dwell time, which helps the ball sink deeper into the rubber, creating more rotation and making it easier to lift backspin balls.

Compared to Rakza 7, this version features a higher throw angle, providing added safety over the net and greater consistency in rally play. The softer sponge also absorbs incoming power more effectively, making blocking and counter-looping feel more controlled. Players who rely on placement and spin variation will benefit from the rubber’s ability to produce sharp angles and precise shots.

The built-in speed glue effect gives the rubber an elastic feel, adding explosiveness while still being easy to handle in short play. This makes Rakza 7 Soft particularly effective for close-to-the-table loopers who rely on heavy spin but also need control in touch play and service returns.
