Customer review for Yasaka Mark V

External Review for Yasaka Mark V on October 4, 2017

When I was younger (35 years ago) I used original Sriver 1.5. Three years ago I reintegrate with the sport I loved and started with Tibhhar Speedy spin, Tibhar Evolution MXP and played for 1 year with Tenergy 05 (max). I liked to play with Tenergy 05 for fun but in the competition it was to bouncy and I did not like the high (arc) throw, especially close to the table. Blocking is also very tricky with heavy incoming topspin. A very high ranked tabletennis-player suggested try Mark V from Yasaka. It has low throw, great control and lots of spin when used on the right frame. First I started with the Stiga allround carbon frame and I immediately felt tons of control but it slowed me down. I played max on the forehand and 2mm on my backhand. So I decided not to change rubbers but to change my frame and bought the ALC frame from Butterfly. (Zhang Jike ALC). Expensive but If your hobby is horse-riding and you need to buy a saddle, and the horse is not even there...., so why not. I decided to purchase the ALC blade and give it a spin. I am not going to overreact with oooh's and aaaah's but this combination is a serious weapon. Topspin and looping feels great. With chopping and blocking you have to adjust a little because of the speed.
The bal goes linear and using the right technique will reward you. Last words: everybody has his own style and thoughts about what he wants but if you have a good technique and you want feeling, a bit more dwell time, reasonable control, more speed and huge topspin to dominate your opponent buy Yasaka Mark V. All the best with your choice and have fun with playing tabletennis!
