Hi,

I have been unable to find the 2mm version of the Yasaka Mark V rubber in India. All the stores seem to be selling the Max thinkness version (which I believe is 2.2 mm). I am wondering if I should spend extra money and order it from an international store, or go for the 2.2 mm version? What is the major difference between the two? I will be using the rubber on the blade that comes with PingSkills Rook.

Hi Abhinav,

There is not a lot of difference between the two.  The 2.2 is a bit faster and spinner.  I would just get it locally.

Thanks Alois, I will go for 2.2 mm then. I am thinking of just replacing the rubber on the forehand side and keeping the old rubber on the backhand side intact (I will eventually replace the backhand rubber as well, but after having tried it on forehand). Do you think there will be any problem because of this while replacing the rubber?

There shouldn’t be any problem.
