Customer review for Yasaka Mark V

External Review for Yasaka Mark V on November 26, 2015

Mark V is not as bouncy as a tensor rubber but it is not as hard/dead as Chinese rubbers either. It adds a bit of power to your strokes without totally messing up the control. This is why Mark V is famous for. It complements the feeling and control of your blade.
It feels light so it is suitable for heavier blades. The spin and speed are decent but nothing special. Desinged for soft blades. On hard blades it becomes too bouncy. One disadvantage is its non linear behaviour. At higher speeds, when the balls goes deeper into the rubber, the throw is medium-high. At slow speeds the throw is medium/low. This means at higher speeds you have to close the racket angle and open it at lower speeds. The second disadvantage is its price. It definitely doesn't worth what you pay for it. I only recommend Mark V for beginners, or those who need the rubber to compensate for their low fitness level but find tensor rubbers uncontrollable. That's the majority of recreational players. Mark V is Not suitable for high level play where accuracy and consistency are crucial
