Back in 1975 my parents bought me a Yasaka Mark V when I was in high school, and I **loved** that racket. The high speed, the very strong spin and distinct lack of control endeared this paddle to me even then.
I played with it for YEARS... I mean to the point that the rubber hardened and cracked... the area where the forefinger was placed on the red side blackened from the acid in the skin.
I eventually retired my Mark V and the sport from my life for many decades. Recently, I decided to get back into the sport, and of course, I wanted a Mark V... and so I found and ordered one right from this very website!
I am VERY eager to bring an old friend back to my table and of course I will add more to this review a while after I play with the paddle in the near future (if I can add to this review later).
Welcome home to an old friend, welcome home to my Mark V !! :-)
