Hi coach,
your pieces of advice are really helping me a lot and I m doing good and good day by day.thanx for such a great site.
I saw your vedio about rubbers.I want to ask about Mark V that what type of ruber is it?
As it has a great grip and a lot of friction.is it normal rubber?
also tell me how will we distinguish between normal rubber and anti spin as both have flat surfaces.
thnx

Hi Hammad,
Mark V is a normal rubber.
The main difference between normal rubber and anti-spin rubber is the amount of friction of the surface. Just rube the ball across the surface and you will be able to tell.
Take a look at the lesson on the Effects of Rubbers. This will show you the different properties of different types of rubber.

I used to use Mark V but I switched to Sriver FX for two reasons. First, I found that Mark V doesn't get enough spin. The second and probably more important reason for me was that Mark V is rather expensive. Sriver FX cuts the cost by almost 10 dollars a sheet!

Hey Chip,
You are pretty lucky because here in Mumbai, Sriver costs about 5 dollars more than Mark V and Sriver EL and FX about 10-15 dollars more.

i dont know if this is helpful or not, but i got my mark v rubbers from a guy on ebay in the uk. it cost me £17 per rubber and £1.50 postage, i believe this is quite cheap for this rubber.
