Customer review for Yasaka Mark V

External Review for Yasaka Mark V on August 28, 2011

This is a Classic that was born more than 20 years ago.

Used to be a "menace" to the opponent, specially, when combined with Sriver. A true Warrior!

So, what killed Mark V? In my opinion, it is the 40 mm ball that lost the speed and the spin, and rendered Mark V as an "average" rubber.

The rubber is still FANTASTIC, very forgiving (allows you to miss-time the ball, and it will still go right, to some extent), very spinny, very controllable, decently fast (when paired with carbon plies) and so so so so durable (I have played with a Mark V that is 10 years old, and cleaned after every game, and trust me, it retains the control, speed and spin till date).

A legend among rubbers, and a very very good rubber for any intermediate player. I still love it on my Donic Waldner Senso Carbon in the FH as it still gives me the comfort in topspin, side-spin, loop, push and drives!

A "do it all" kind of a rubber with decent speed, spin, control and fantastic durability!
