classic rubbers (sriver, mark v, coppa)

[LilMunchkin]

how do these three compare, and would coppa be a good alternative to mark v?

I played with Coppa and Sriver in the early 1990s. It's too long ago for me to remember specific characteristics of one versus the other, but certainly they are comparable in the sense that they (together with Mark V) were "the best" of their type and generation.

I played with Sriver on BH and tackiness D on FH, my Uncle played with Mark V, but I used to try his set up now and again, from memory Mark V was faster, less control, maybe more spin than Sriver. Never used Coppa.
we were not using speed glue either.

For Coppa gold and plain:
Speed: Coppa Gold >Mark V> Sriver
Spin: Mark V = Coppa gold > Sriver
Control: Sriver > Mark V > Coppa Gold

But Remember there is Coppa, Coppa JO Platin, Coppa JO Gold, Sriver, Sriver FX, Sriver L, Sriver G3, Sriver G2, Sriver G3 FX, Sriver G2fx, Mark V, Mark V HPS, Mark V M2, Mark V HPS soft and Mark V GPS.
