Okay so After Playing for a week , it seems like mark v is perfect for me on forehand but as I finish off points with backhand it lacks power , and all my backhand drives seem to be hitting the net . maybe i Need something faster on on backhand or maybe more time to adjust to the new setup...

Although just wondering how is hps iteration different from original mark V ? From what I understand it's got bit more oomph to it but I feel mark V og still might be better for chopping

I downgraded from rakzs 7 actually, hated it too much catapult . Like I said I started with premade bats like gki euro etc and I used to beat everone but after switch to rakza I lost too much control so mark V made sense. Anyway today was first day with mark V max on tibhar samsonov black pro...

Fair enough , I had tibhar samsonov black pro and I can only find mark V max thickness here in India so I ordered them to put that on the blade for now , till Sweden extra becomes available on tt11. Should be a good experiment in the meantime playing with mark V till I decide further . Cheers...

So I have a question, why would a 5-ply allwood be more preferable than let's say a 7-ply ( let's say a clipper / samsonov pro which I have lying around from long time back ) for my style ? I understand they might be more powerful but wudny extra thickness help with stability

So as of now I am set on ordering applegreen allplay and sweden classic ( would prefer extra but unavailable at tt11 for now) with mark v on both sides on both of them to experiment , would that be good ? any other blade recomendations are welcome .. Lastly not able to decide what thickness to...

Lastly since a friend has an extra tibhar stratus power wood lying around which hes willing to giveaway do you think it would pair well with mark v as well for now till i get a new blade ?

Ohh I thought of applegreen because reading here apparently it has great feedback and feel and so on but if it vibrates it's out . So basically you recommend yasaka sweden defensive ? Anything that will be consistent with great feel / feedback / touch should be good . I was looking at sweden...

Reviving old thread , amazing input from everyone . Just wondering how sweden classic compares to sweden extra and which would be better for more defense oriented play among swedens and applegreen pairing them with mark V .

Ok , so doing a bit of research how would Donic applegreen allplay pair with mark V for my kind of gamestyle ? From what I understands seems like a good combination ? Or should I still consider a blade geared towards def more ?

Thanks for the reply Lazer . First things first , I am thinking of an idea where I would order two of the same blades with Andro Good / mark V on both sides on one ( btw which variation of mark V you suggest if I get that ? ) and yinhe mercury on second and then see which one suits me better ...

So I am pretty much set on the rubbers between mark V , Sriver , andro and mercury 2 and will get to try them when I practice on Thursday as coach has them but was also wondering is xiom bega Europe is an option as well ? But either way can't seem to figure out the blade still ugh. Anyway ...

Also I had couple other small question, is VKM also a good blade option for my style of game , only thing is It also has a large head size like defplay I think which I want to avoid ? And is there some website where I can look aand compare the head size of all these blades as I don't think...

Ha nothing to do with 1990 style , lots of players still play that way it's just I have a special ability of picking up impossible balls in defence and movement due to my squash and badminton background and for some reason I prefer defending to attacking I have no idea why it's kinda instinctive...

Yeah I think I will probably get two of the same blades ( once I can decide which one ) with mark V / Andro on one and yinhe mercury on other and see how it goes. Although my coach did say he should have his old rackets with mark V and andro and someone in club plays with yinhe so if I can...
