This racket is an absolute blast to play with! The blade is surprisingly light and balanced; the flared handle fits well in my hand, the racket feels very good during play.
Compared to my Galaxy T4 with Chinese rubbers, the Mark V's have low throw and passive blocking is slow. Brush loops are more difficult to perform so adjustments in strokes are necessary.
That having said, it has a good number of gears, soft strokes are accurate and the racket really bites on hard smashes with no loss in accuracy. It really feels like I can play every shot in the game with this racket. Feedback is fantastic with minimal vibrations, I can really feel each stroke I'm playing.
The only "bad" thing that can be said is that it feels as if this racket has a lower tolerance for poor technique, with shots going into the net or missing the table entirely if timing and contact points are off.

I've been playing table tennis on and off for fun with friends and family for years using a pre-made Butterfly 302 paddle (around $23). I was looking to ramp it up to the next level since my workplace purchased two tables for breaks. Everyone recommended I get the Mark V rubbers and so I purchased this set when I saw it on sale here on Megaspin.
What a difference it is from a premade. All my shots were flying off the table and I felt that I couldn't control the ball where I wanted. If you're moving on from a premade, just understand that you're going to have to put in the time to get adjusted to the speed and spin difference. I would say it took me a good week of frustration before everything clicked and now I cannot stress how much of an improvement my game has achieved. I can control the speed, the spin and the placement so much better than the cheap Butterfly paddle. It's given me much more confidence and I will definitely be recommending this combination to my friends and family when they are ready to move beyond a premade paddle.

Was playing with premade Stiga evolution at work for the last 1 year.
Yasaka Mark V Rubber made a huge difference for its balanced and spin capability. Highly recommend it to beginning/mid level all around players.

An absolute beast .. I would recommend this setup to anyone who wants to step their game up.. It takes a bit of getting used to .. But once you have proper form .. You can play any shot in the book, and then some .. I have pulled some incredible returns with it.. definitely a forgiving rubber .. Offers loads of control without jeopardizing speed and spin..
I am a 1834 rated player. Was using Butterfly Sriver EL and G2FX on VSG blade. Tried this Mark V (2.0) on Gatien extra blade. Great control. Speed and spin has not been compromised at my level. Very good for me.
This is an awesome Dream Racket for any Serious (Casual/Professional) Table Tennis player.
As a past professional Tournament player, I can say that this is really an awesome deal.
You can play any shot/recovery you need with it.
The Price, the Value, all Great!
I highly recommend the Product!

As amateur player was using it at after-work plays with coworkers. Was impressed with quality and how it lasts. After two years rubber's grip is still good. Some other brands were dying very quick 6-9 months. Don't want to say more as I'm not professional player. But was happy with purchase.
I've been playing for about two years at a casual, office level. We have mostly Killerspin premade bats at work. I decided to get a custom bat, and landed on this combination based on great reviews for a beginner/intermediate all around player or developing attacker. I absolutely love it. All of my short spinny serves are so much harder for my opponents to return effectively. I'm also finally learning how to loop against various long balls and this thing is really helping me attack and grip the ball. If you're a lower or medium level player with an offensive style, this is a great first custom bat for you.
Just received my paddle. It was well made, very accurate and nice. The reason for 4 star is that I haven't mentioned much difference from my previous basic 20$ paddle in the game. Spin is a little bit better, I haven't mentioned improved speed, control is a little bit better. Overall, expectations didn't meet the reality. I was expecting more speed.
Excellent build, great spin and control. A major step up from my last racket. Very satisfied.
The quality and performance is pretty good but the only problem is that it is incredibly difficult to do topspin with this combination of mark v and Sweden extra but blocking and smashing is really good. So if you are a hard hitter and rarely do topspin then this combination is perfect for you.
Rating=1834. Was using VSG21-2000 Butterfly blade with Sriver G2Fx on F and Sriver EL on B. Did well with that but was time to change rubbers. So tried this assembled racket. Got used to it immediately within 3 sessions. Has more control than EL with more spin and speed. Good for attacking too. Plus cheaper as compared to ordering everything separately. As said in other reviews, the rubber is quite 'forgiving'.
awesome, I have used it for a year, 5 hours of play a week, incredible control. I have gone from USATT rating 700 to 1400 in the meantime.
