Yasaka Mark V

Mark V is a very good rubber made for all kinds of players. Has great control, capable for every possible shot with hardly any problem and has a lot of potential. I personally use it on the backhand (RPB) and it has amazing control and I can place very well. There's a reason why this rubber is one of the longest standing rubbers ever.

Great first rubber, excellent control and very easy to manage. Good for a player who needs control.

I used this rubber during the speed glue era along with Sriver. These two rubbers were extremely popular during the speed glue era. The amount of control you had to ratio of speed and spin was perfect. The only problem is without speed glue you don't have enough speed.

Nowadays this rubber is very good for beginners and intermediate players wanting to develop their technique. I haven't seen to many players use this rubber any more. It use to be so popular! Those were the days...
