Speed	17.0 /
Spin	17.0 /

Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	No

From community:

Speed	7.8
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.3
Control	8.4
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	0.0 - Completely non-tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	4.0 - Medium
Weight	4.0 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	2.4 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	7.0 - Above average gears
Durability	6.5 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	7.5
Overall	8.1 4.1

Description of Yasaka Mark V AD

The soft sponge version of the classic Mark V provides the player with two distinct options: With speed glue, it becomes the quintessential high speed, high spin rubber used in today's modern topspin game. With conventional glue, AD provides soft touch a excellent control, while still generating plenty of spin and speed

Reviews of the Yasaka Mark V AD

I believe this rubber was designed to be used with speed glue, so my experience with it may not be entirely fair. It's a good rubber, it loops and blocks well, but I know it's not the one for me. I only have two complaints about it, 1. it comes with virtually no tack and whatever it does come with is gone in a few days of playing. That's not too big of a deal, it's more personal preference. 2. without gluing, this thing kind of feels like hitting with a shag rug. You never really get a good feel for contact. Given, I'm playing max thickness, but I've played other max rubbers with about the same density and there was much better feedback. I think regular old Mark V may be a better choice that this stuff.

Nice Rubber... Soft, NonTacky but Grippy. Easy to loop/topspin attack and good for blocking. Serve is quite ok even not as spinny as chinese rubbers. High dwell time, good control.

durable.

at first, it was quite uncontrollable but I think it was because I wasn't used to it. overall, this rubber is spinny but it doesn't have enough speed and control. this rubber has medium-high throw angle and it's not so good for close-to-table player
