classic Rubber still suggestion

[LittleSeki]

Hello,
i was wondering if classic rubber like Yasaka Mark V, Donic Vario, Donic Coppa, Stiga Carbo Sound, Joola Upp still are good in the plastic ball times for a attack game out of underspin most of the time close to the table but sometimes in mid distance or if you would say no get a tensor like vega pro or so in 1,8, this would be better?

 

[yogi_bear]

Honestly, there are modern rubbers that are just much better. Vega Pro is a safe choice and also Stiga Calibra LT Spin.

Mark V will work; a friend at the office played very well on it. However, he wanted more power and switched to Tenergy on his forehand.

Yogi's suggestions are always good ones. I would also add Fastarc G-1 or Fastarc C-1.

Stiga mantra m.

okay thank you
and what rubber thickniss?
2.0 and 1.8 or both 1.8 or 2.0 for example on a wsc

 

[yogi_bear]

2.0 is enough

 

[LittleSeki]

on both sides?
okay thank you

 

[thomas.pong]

on both sides?
okay thank you

Yes, same rubber and thickness on both sides is a good way to start and improve.

 

[LittleSeki]

then 2x Vega Pro 2.0

 

[thomas.pong]

What is your level? Depends on your level. Mark V is still a great rubber and a good option for developing strokes.

 

[LittleSeki]

It is for people between 1200 and 1350 points.
One plays with a wsc the other has a used long 5 other one still plays with an allplay.

So yeah most of them has an okay technique.
Well yeah of course not that consistence but okay i would say.
Most of the time there is pushing and even that is not save or one trys a topsspin and if this hit the table it is a point most of the time, if not than yeah xD

 

[LittleSeki]

mostly i want it to knwo for the long 5 player now
because the wsc player was answered

I think they can use and play well with markv up to 1600-1700 points. Or i think i could be competetive with markv at that level.

Satoshi Aida uses Mark V. Enough said.

Really? On his FH?

What about his blade and BH?

Dual sided Mark V according to a guy that I know that is a coach in the club that he used to play for. Fascinating style of play. Chop, Attack, Chop, Attack etc.

Wow! Fascinating indeed!

Do you happen to know what blade he uses?

Someone on OOAK claims that it’s a “hinoki defensive”. I can verify this the next time that I visit his former club for an away league game.

FYI - I was practicing on the table next to him earlier this year. His sparring partner was some
other Japanese dude who had a WR of about 50 and it was very hard to focus on my own training to the point that my sparring partner got upset with me. My conclusion was that Mark V is capable of anything (maybe he boosts the sh*t out of it but anyways)

 

[LittleSeki]

So i guess i can still play an offensive game with donic coppa or mark v xD
thanks for your answers
