    Yasaka Mark V is one of the oldest and well known rubbers in the history of this sport. Originally released in 1969, this rubber helped revolutionize table tennis by proving that a heavy topspin attacking style was not only viable, but would also become the dominant style of table tennis from the 1970s all the way to today. These days, Mark V is still characterized by its grippy surface, medium sponge, and superb control. Today, it is a solid choice for beginners with an allround blade and all the way up to high level play when boosted and on a more offensive blade.

      Used on both sides (foreground thickness, back medium thickness) for all-round evolution
      It bites well and hangs well.
      It is very good for the first and second rubbers.
      I feel that I am good at control performance and enter any ball.
      Especially suitable for the back, you can do anything with Tsutsuki, back drive, block.
      I feel it has the same performance as a cheap tension rubber.

      When I was a student, I used a Mark V for the front and an Xyz F1 for the back. Hitting techniques such as smash, angle hit, and meat hit are easy to do. A smash with a loop drive from a downward rotation serve is recommended for memorizing this pattern. If the racket is not light and bouncy, the ball will not fly deep. I think fast-paced rally battles are better because it's not a one-shot, instant type.

      It feels like the high elasticity rubber. It doesn't have any particularly sharp performance, but all the techniques are easy to use, so it's recommended for your first or second shot. I used it on a five-ply plywood board, but when I tried a friend's one on a seven-ply plywood board, it was very easy to drive. It has a long lifespan and is cheap, so it is a good value for money.

      Reviews by user

      Since it is a highly elastic rubber, it has a certain amount of momentum and excellent controllability.

      Therefore, it is recommended for those who are just starting to play table tennis or those who want to play the game.

      Elle (Experience:Less than a year) Easy to cut and a variety of attacks

      Reviews by user

      I'm usually a drive man, but I use Back Booster SA Foremark V Medium as a backup.
      It rotates so it doesn't fly away, so it stays in place even if you shake it as hard as you can.
      I think it's best for people who make a lot of over-misses to use a racket that doesn't fly too far.

      risotto neiro (Experience:6〜10 years) A mirror that reflects your skills

      Reviews by user

      I used it before, but I played against elementary school students in a doubles match.
      I received a heavy drive that I have never had before from break-in practice.
      If you are buying expensive tension rubbers because of your financial strength, I think you should reconsider your thoughts.
      I can't fly from the tension.
      It is good to supplement with a racket.
      Even if you use expensive tension, are you able to get the specs out? I want to ask
      When I used it myself, I felt that the 38mm Mark V would fly too much, but I switched to the 40mm plastic and it became easier to handle.
      If you make mistakes using this rubber, you can clearly see what is wrong.
      Good technique is reflected in the rubber as it is.
      A mirror is really heavy.

      Yuu. Cutman (Experience:2〜3 years) mass of stability

      Reviews by user

      It is pasted for rental of club activities!
      Basic strikes such as forehand and backhand shots have a sense of stability anyway. Of course, basic techniques such as tsutsuki are also easy to do, so I think it's perfect for beginners who want to learn various techniques first! At the timing of becoming an intermediate player, I think it is necessary to change to a rubber with a little stronger tension, but it is definitely the best for beginners.
      Also, I think that there is also the adoption of the back side of the back cut man. I think that it is difficult to cut the back with the back soft if the rubber has a strong tension, but with this rubber it was cut quite beautifully!
