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	8.8
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	9.0
Control	8.3
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	3.6 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	4.5 - Medium
Weight	3.8 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	3.1 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	7.8 - Many gears
Durability	8.1 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	10.0
Overall	8.9 4.5

Description of Yasaka Mark V HPS Soft

Mark V HPS Soft

The result of a completely new formula for the sponge combined with the top sheet of MARK V:

MARK V HPS is a top of the range fast table tennis rubber and gives you all the characteristics required for advanced offensive play.

MARK V HPS is the result of the newest Japanese rubber technology.

The HPS technology gives:
- improved dynamics in the sponge
- more speed and spin, without higher weight

Mark V HPS has a slightly softer sponge than the regular Mark V HPS, suitable for offensive allround players.

Reviews of the Yasaka Mark V HPS Soft

guybrush said this on February 5, 2010:

The best backhand i ever played with this new Yasaka rubber. Outstanding control, hilarious spin and very good speed makes this one a must have. Great with looping, specially mid-distance from table. Many of the best players here in Sweden are testing it right now, and i ahve only heard good words about it.

Mated to Yasaka Extra Soft Carbon blade, it provides an excellent blend of speed, spin, and consistency.

A great backhand for the Mark V user!

MANUEL said this on January 22, 2012:

I am very disappointed with this rubber. The rubber price is pre-glued next generation, and the feeling is to play with the old mark V. I even thought they were wrong and I had sold a normal V mark.
