From manufacturer:

Speed	18.0 /
Spin	18.0 /
Control	17.0 /
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	No

From community:

Speed	8.2
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.3
Control	8.9
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	1.3 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	3.3 - Medium-low
Weight	4.7 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	2.7 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	6.0 - Above average gears
Durability	8.5 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	10.0
Overall	8.6 4.3

Description of Yasaka Zap 36-38°

Zap--A traditional Japanese style rubber sheet.
We presented a remarkable gift for the players who has been looking for the "speedy" baby.
After "fill-up the air" with speed glue, ZAP will show you a special characteristic-"quick-killing".
Especially for the fast-attack players, ZAP makes your dream come true.

Reviews of the Yasaka Zap 36-38°

Arise said this on June 3, 2012:

ALL around rubber, not fast and not really spinny, a little tacky. It's good for BH or for FH on a fast/stiff blade

seguso said this on June 26, 2012:

a sriver clone. very good cheap rubber for backhand on a fast blade.

this rubber is a very good training rubber for vega europe users on bh. compared to vega europe, it is a bit less spinny, a bit slower, and a bit lower throw, a bit softer, and less spin sensitive. but similar.

throw is medium-low.

blocks are very easy.

opening loops are fairly spinny, but not incredibly spinny like, say, vega europe.

this is similar to palio cj8000 36 jap, but faster, softer, with more spin, cheaper, and a bit lower throw.

I am currently using it on bh on dhs pg7 (a fast 7 ply all wood).

emelo said this on May 12, 2013:

This is totally equal to cj8000. (chinese sponge), also a good rubber.
The ZAP spin and speed type is same cj8000 with japanese sponge. (spin type-> cj8000 GP 36-38deg and speed type-> cj8000 GP 42-44deg)
