YASAKA Mark V Table Tennis Rubber

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I had used Mark V in the past (1996-2000) so I am familiar with it. Good bite, good speed, reliable. Others would say it is too bouncy for looping, but I do less looping and more driving with only a small amount of spin on the backhand, so this rubber fits me fine. Wish it comes with 2.0mm thick.

Yasaka Mark V has been around for a long time which means it is a preferred type of TT rubber. Works well for the offensive and defensive player for pen hold and shake hand. This rubber lasts a long time (I know because my dad had this rubber for over 15 years and it was still not dead). for 40 dollars I would say you cant go wrong.

I got a set of Yasaka Mark Vs for my first "real" blade - a Butterfly Timo Boll OFF. I went with 1.5mm and 2.0mm, as I play my forehand more offensively. Although I don't have a ton of experience with top-level rubber, I do have some. The Mark Vs have a great balance of control and spin. My one complaint is that they're a little TOO sticky for a novice player. If this is your first rubber, you'll have some problems dealing with spin, and it will take some time to adjust. I would suggest starting with a rubber that's rated lower for "spin".

It is a great rubber for players like who are starting to play more serious, optimum combination of control, speed and loop. Actually, this is the first rubber which I glued myself on my new blade(Butterfly Innerforce ZLF). I am using it for my forehand and now I think I should have got it for backhand as well. It has been out there for decades and is a great choice to start with!

今までの中を中厚に替えたので、慣れるまでに少しかかるかも知れないが、とても良い。初心者用とのことだが、スピードもスピンもすごい。コントロールも良い。初心者だけでなく誰にでも合う。50年前にインターハイに出たが、そのときにはオリジナルの薄を使っていた。テンションや粘着は合わない。
