    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated by beginners and intermediate players as an upgraded version of Mark V with improved stability and control. However, some users question its viability in modern table tennis due to inferior speed and spin compared to the latest tension rubbers.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Maintains Mark V's ease of use while enhancing speed and spin
    • Excellent control and stability, ideal for beginners
    • Less affected by opponent's spin, suitable for backhand
    • Less bounce and power compared to tension rubbers
    • High durability with sustained performance over time
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe ease of use of Mark V is maintained while spin and speed are improved. This rubber provides excellent spin and speed while maintaining such usability, which is unprecedented.
    ▽ CriticalIn the 40mm plastic ball era, there is no need to use this rubber. Compared to tension rubbers, it lacks bounce, and more high-performance rubbers are available in the same price range.

      Miyanafu (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Definitely this over something weird

      Reviews by user

      Since the sheet is Mark V, you can play with good balance. On top of that, it's faster than the normal Mark V, so its performance holds up in modern table tennis too.
      This is a rubber I'd want people stuck in a slump, or people getting back into table tennis, to try at least once.

      A kappa who respects Koki Niwa (Experience: ２〜３ years)

      Reviews by user

      The first time I hit with it, my impression was "oh, just an ordinary rubber."
      But after borrowing it and hitting a few more times, I found control was really easy,
      and on top of that,
      I discovered the added benefit that speed was easy to generate too.

      Peperoncino (Experience: Less than a year)

      Reviews by user

      It's very easy to use, and it puts plenty of spin on serves and everything else — I'm still using it now.
      I can't say it's super cheap, but the price matches how easy it is to use, so I'm satisfied.
      Considering I'm a beginner, I thought it was a really good rubber.

      The one whose rubber was chosen by the coach without permission (Experience: Less than a year)

      Reviews by user

      My coach picked out my blade and rubber without asking me. This rubber might be fine at first. As you improve, you might start wanting to put more spin on the ball. This rubber doesn't generate much spin, so I wouldn't recommend it for that. That's not to say you shouldn't buy it, though. Since it's cheaper than other rubbers, I'd recommend it for when you're just starting out.

      Table Tennis Counterattacker (~Drive from Lobbing~) (Experience: ４〜５ years) Keep using it and it gets stronger

      Reviews by user

      I've been using this rubber for 2-3 years. *Before that, I trained hard with Nittaku's Jimmin. A year later, I put this rubber on. My first impression was "this is easy to use." Advanced lobs, drives, short-game shots, and counters all fly on exactly the trajectory I intend. I also became able to swing the racket with confidence. The more I kept using this rubber, the more I appreciated how good it is, and I got a lot stronger.

      Mark-kun (Experience: ２〜３ years) More elastic than tension rubber!!

      Reviews by user

      I used Vega Europe/Asia before.
      High-elasticity rubbers actually give better control and are easier to spin with than tension rubbers. On top of that, this rubber has both stability and tension-level speed.
      The feel on the ball suits me too — a really excellent rubber. I have this HPS on my forehand, with HPS Soft on my backhand. This combination is the best.

      Kt (Experience: ４〜５ years) Really good

      Reviews by user

      I'd always used the Fastarc series before, but I was genuinely impressed when I borrowed a friend's racket and hit with it. Serves are easy to produce, and blocks are easy to keep low. Drives go in as long as you swing through, and stops stay short. It's not a rubber that generates exceptional power, but it's outstandingly easy to control. I realized the Mark V name isn't just for show.
