    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.

      Reviews by user

      This is highly recommended as the first rubber for beginners who have just started playing table tennis.
      Beginners can use this rubber for both forehand and backhand use.
      Start by improving your basics with this rubber!

      Mark V is a very famous and classic introductory rubber, and I tried it with Mark V (thick) on both sides. I really recommend it for beginners who have just started playing table tennis, but I don't recommend it for intermediate players or those who are using their third or subsequent rubbers.
      The speed and amount of spin are inferior to modern rubbers because it is an old rubber, but the control and blocking performance are comparable to modern rubbers, so if an intermediate player uses it, I recommend using it for the blocking performance.

      This is a rubber for beginners, but it produces some tricky shots.
      When you hit the ball right in the center, you get that "jump" feeling that you don't get with other rubbers.
      As expected from a rubber with high elasticity, it only gives feedback on the amount of swing you make.
      I think it's good for the Showa generation of players who play table tennis.

      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.
