Customer review for Yasaka Mark V

External Review for Yasaka Mark V on January 27, 2015

I first had this rubber on my 2nd blade--Galaxy T-11+. For some reasons it did not perform well and made the sweetspot seem smaller.

Then when I got my 3rd blade-Bty Primorac Carbon, so I switched Mark V onto the new blade. The slowness of this rubber somehow teamed up pretty good with the very fast characteristic(OFF+) of the blade on the backhand. It's got a nice soft feel that enhanced the dwell time and has pretty good grip that I could produce very good & powerful BH shots while facing down the blade quite much. Opponents thought I have a fast rubber but I told them it's not the rubber but the blade and my technique.

It seems to be very durable as I have been using it for 2 months (3-4x/week) hitting very hard. Even though it is more expensive than DHS H3 but it seems a lot more durable that the top sheet stays intact with the sponge unlike the H3 where it separated several times already and I had to glue it back.

I highly recommend this rubber on an OFF+ stiff blade, but do not put it on a slow blade.
