Yasaka Mark V HPS Rubber


JUST IN & WORTH THE WAIT ! NEW Yasaka Mark V Hybrid Power Sponge!

Yasaka''s rubber technicians have been at the forefront in taking big steps in the development of table tennis rubbers. When the ITTF banned the use of speed glue and also the use of boosters, Yasaka started intensive development work to make up for this missing formula. The challenge was to produce a new MARK V rubber with the exact balance between speed and spin, as well as the famous quality and durability. In addition, "fresh glue" characteristics were to be incorporated. To uphold the MARK V name, demand for quality & performance has been very strict! The result is 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. The new Japanese HPS technology by Yasaka gives improved dynamics in the sponge with more speed and spin, without increasing weight. MARK V Hybrid Power Sponge has a medium hard sponge, suitable for aggressive speed play close to the table. If you miss the extra speed & power of speed glue, you must try this!
