  • MARK V HPS

    User review

    This is the max thickness version. I also bought the max thickness Mark V and compared them — first off, the weight was almost identical. Mine is cut to Korbel size, and both come out to 43 grams.
    They're supposedly the same sheet, but the grip on the ball doesn't feel the same. The HPS grips more. Both are black, but the HPS has visible pips and a glossy look. The Mark V feels smooth and grips a bit less. I'd say the HPS has about the best grip you can get among rubbers that aren't marketed for spin. It doesn't fly far on serves, so short, sharply spinning serves are easy to produce. The bounce is completely different between the two — the HPS bounces way more. That said, unlike a lot of recent rubbers, it doesn't fly upward, and it doesn't really have that "holding the ball" feeling either. Some people might like that and others might find it awkward, but I really like the trajectory, and I'd recommend it to anyone from beginner to intermediate level.

    Also, this rubber seems to last a really long time. I've had one on for over a year, and while it looks worn, the grip hasn't dropped off at all.

    I've also used Vega Europe, and compared to that, this one is softer, and you can immediately tell the rebound is lower. Actually, the feel of the ball is pretty much a different thing altogether. People say it grips the ball more for spin, but for me, flat hits felt better. On the other hand, drives lift easily but tend to land shallow and get picked off easily.
    I'd recommend it for people who attack on the backhand with blocks or flat hits.

    I've used all kinds of rubbers, but this was the easiest one for me personally to put spin on. Players with a lot of power might get more spin out of Ventus Speed, but since I don't have much power, that one tends to give me weak shots, so I much prefer this one. Of course, I think Tenergy 05 has the max spin ceiling for drives, but for serves, I feel like this one might actually put on more spin.

    It feels long-lasting. I still have a blade with Ventus on it from a year ago, and I have no problem getting spin out of it normally. I've bought 4 sheets so far, and none of them have torn from impacts, so I don't think the durability is bad either.

    I bought two of these before the price increase, in different grips — an FL92 and an ST87.
    This blade is often said to be heavy, but the balance point sits fairly close to the tip, so compared to a handle-heavy 7-ply like the Rideac, it's easier to swing through and doesn't feel as heavy.
    The reason I bought this blade is that the grip uses a horizontal-layer construction, which is rare these days. Because of that, the grip doesn't feel hard in the hand, and I like being able to enjoy the individual variation in the wood grain. However, maybe because it's made in China, the grip seems to vary quite a lot from piece to piece. The thickness and appearance differ noticeably, so if you're particular about that, I wouldn't recommend buying it online. On mine, the light ST grip has layers cut at quite an angle, giving it a grip shape I've never seen from any other maker, which I find interesting.
    I also wasn't planning to use this as my main blade, so I didn't really care about the feel, but that turned out to be a really pleasant surprise. Just bouncing the ball on it felt like it would be hard to use, but once I actually swung it, I was surprised at how much easier it was to put spin on than other 7-ply blades. I think it's probably down to the shape of this grip. I've bought a lot of blades, but this FL grip is a cut above. I'd really recommend picking one up and holding it yourself — if you find a piece you like, it's cheap enough that you shouldn't hesitate to buy it.

    It has a reputation for being a soft rubber, so I was planning to use it on my backhand, but it was heavier than I expected and worked better for me on my forehand. If your level is around what it takes to make it to a prefectural tournament, I think this is enough for both sides. Can't speak for buff male students though. Go use Tenergy instead.
