2021–2022
– superior quality & durability
Yasaka MARK V, probably the most well-known product in table tennis, has helped players to win tournaments all over
the World. MARK V represents not only the very best playing characteristics but also an unsurpassed consistency of
product. The secrets behind the perfectly balanced playing characteristics are the mixture between synthetic rubber and
natural rubber, the geometry (shape) of the pimples and the very high standards demanded during the production process
in the factory in Tokyo. In addition, the very special Mark V sponge has extremely small tolerances for the differences in
hardness and dynamic.
A large number of players from all continents have, with the use of MARK V, developed their playing technique and
appreciate the consistent playing characteristics during the rubber’s long playing life.
MARK V M2
Sharper spin and faster, due to harder
outer sheet and sponge
MARK V GPS
The same top rubber sheet as MARK V
”Classic” but with slightly softer sponge,
giving improved spin and control char-
acteristics, but less speed.
MARK V XS
A different rubber mixture in the top
sheet and an improved production pro-
cess. D.A.T.* gives MARK V XS more
spin but still good speed characteristics.
MARK V CLASSIC
The perfect balance between speed, spin and control for
both the offensive player and the allround player, depending
on the sponge thickness chosen. MARK V “Classic” is
available with the sponge thicknesses 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm,
1.8 mm, 2.0 mm and Max (around 2.3 mm).
MARK V HPS
The result of a completely new formula for the sponge –
combined with the top sheet of MARK V.
The HPS technology gives:
• improved dynamics in the sponge
• more speed and spin, without higher weight
*Double Acceleration Technology
RAKZA Z Extra Hard has an even harder
sponge which gives more speed.
RAKZA Z rubbers are made for attacking players,
both close to the table and from half distance.
After years of development, in 2010, Yasaka introduced RAKZA 7, the first rubber
with “Hybrid Energy” technology, which quickly became highly regarded for its
accurate playing qualities. The combination of the outer rubber sheet and the
sponge has resulted in a winning combination. After the first success Yasaka
developed and released further high quality rubbers, RAKZA 9 and RAKZA X.
The latest winning combination is RAKZA Z – a brand new technology with hard
sponge and sticky top sheet.
RAKZA Z
The new addition to the highly successful RAKZA series of YASAKA rubbers. For the first
time in the RAKZA series, the top sheet has stickiness by employing a new production
method. The result is a surface with exceptional grip, enabling phenomenal spin.
The top sheet is combined with a harder ”Power Sponge”. The result enables you to
make strong spin with a very high arc. The rubber gives you an advantage in serves
and short returns which helps you to make them both precise and sharp.
RAKZA 7
YASAKA developed RAKZA 7 using mainly natural
rubber gum for the top sheet. This improves the level of
grip and the power of spin drastically. The size and
geometry of the pimples are designed to give a good
balance between speed and spin. The surface rubber
is combined with Yasaka’s “Power Sponge”, enabling
huge elasticity. Together they work in perfect synergy,
producing the Hybrid Energy rubber RAKZA 7.
When the player hits the ball hard, the rubber “grips”
the ball and the stroke can be used to place the ball
accurately, both in direction and length. The serve and
short returns are very sharp and easy to handle.
Thanks to the higher proportion of natural gum the life
expectancy of the rubber has increased.
Yasaka´s rubber technicians have
developed the optimum geometry
(shape) of the pimples in order to
achieve the best balance between speed
and spin. ”Power Sponge” is a sponge with
more springiness and elasticity.
A top class table tennis rubber is a high tech
product. The quality and characteristics of the outer
sheet and the sponge are important for the rubbers
performance. But also the conjunction between
the two parts is important to reach the final result.
With the Yasaka HYBRID ENERGY SYSTEM these
two parts work in perfect synergy.
The difference in the ball arc for the different RAKZA rubbers.
COMPARE THE RAKZA FAMILY
RAKZA 9
The fastest of Yasaka’s
Hybrid Energy rubbers and suitable
for very offensive players. The
improved speed characteristics are
thanks to a modified formula
combination for the surface rubber.
The sponge has slightly larger pores
and more homogenous structure.
NSS (New Surface System), Yasaka’s
new production process to improve
the grip of the rubber surface. NSS
gives a stronger ”touch” when hitting
the ball, and the control in both attack
and blocking is improved.
RAKZA X
RAKZA X is the first YASAKA rubber with the NSS technology.
The top sheet is a mainly natural rubber gum, employing a new
production method. The result is a top surface with exceptional
grip enabling both phenomenal spin and speed. These qualities
reduce the margin for error. This top sheet is then combined
with a harder “Power Sponge”. The resulting combination of
a faster sponge and high grip top sheet enables you to place
the ball accurately with a high degree of success.
RAKZA PO
With RAKZA PO YASAKA developed
a short pimples out rubber with increased
spin capacity, due to the shape of the
pimples geometry and the use of more
natural gum in the top sheet.

RISING DRAGON /SHINING DRAGON
In these two rubbers Yasaka has successfully
combined not only the advantages of the Chinese
sticky surface but also the renown qualities of
speed and touch from Japanese rubber technology.
RISING DRAGON offers a new dimension to your
game as it is easy to make both sharp chop returns
and power drives with good control.
SHINING DRAGON has a very sticky top sheet
combined with a rather hard sponge. The sticky rub-
ber makes it easy to control the topspin, serves and
short cut returns. The tension of the sponge creates
outstanding speed.
RIGAN
When Yasaka developed RIGAN the goal was to combine the advantages
of ”classical” rubbers and ”modern technology” rubbers. With RIGAN you
get a perfect ball control and a dynamic speed characteristics, resulting in a
rubber that is very easy to handle. RIGAN has a high durability and offers
good value for the money.

A WINNING STORY
since 1947
Ma Lin
MA LIN
SOFT CARBON
MA LIN
EXTRA OFFENSIVE
MA LIN
CARBON
Ma Lin is the only men player who has
won the Olympic gold medals in men’s
singles, men’s doubles and team.
During all his career Ma Lin has played
Yasaka, a choice he never regretted.
Ma Lin SOFT CARBON has the same outer
veneer as the famous EXTRA blade.
Its medium soft characteristics is appreciated
by players who want increased ball feel.
Two very thin carbon fibre layers are used
to improve the speed and enlarge the sweet-
spot. Together with the thicker wooden mid-
dle veneer it gives good power.
Ma Lin EXTRA OFFENSIVE is a fast 5-ply
blade developed in cooperation with
Ma Lin. The very hard outer veneers are
combined with selected Scandinavian
pine veneers to give the blade power. The
thick, medium soft center veneer helps to
give the blade the very good ball feel,
appreciated by technical offensive players.
Due to a selection of the wooden veneers
and carbon together with the very speciali-
zed gluing method between the wood and
the carbon material – Yasaka has succee-
ded in creating a blade which combines
the characteristics of both speed and a
good ball feel. Relatively thin construction,
a large sweetspot and without vibrations.
After testing different carbon materials,
combinations and thicknesses of wooden
veneers we are now happy to introduce
the FALCK CARBON. The blade consists
of Japanese Premium Carbon (JPC) and
5 wooden veneers in exact thicknesses.
FALCK CARBON
The blade for the demanding player, looking for the
latest in blade technology. FALCK CARBON offers
a suberb balance between speed and feel for the
attacking player.
FALCK W7
FALCK W 7 consists of a thicker core layer and three
thinner outer layers, including one harder, coloured
layer. Individually hand selection of the veneers gives
FALCK W7 a low and very stable weight.
A few months before the WTTC 2019 Mattias
started to use the new FALCK CARBON. His
results were really good: semifinal in World Tour
Platinimum Qatar Open and silver medal in the
World Championships in Budapest.
Ma Lin
MA LIN
CARBON
Falck
The optimum combination between power and feeling.
The harder inner veneers in very precise cut and the special
medium soft surface veneer is considered among top players
to give the best feeling. One of the best selling blades in the
World. 5 wooden veneers. Lacquered.
SWEDEN EXTRA
A big success, appreciated by players all over the world.
With experience from the famous EXTRA OFFENSIVE blade
Yasaka has developed a 7-ply blade, aimed for players
demanding a super offensive weapon.
The very hard outer veneer is combined with a medium
hard second veneer and a thin and very light layer of carbon.
The middle veneer is selected and finished to be perfect in
hardness and thickness. The gluing and pressing process is
developed to improve the balance between the speed and
control characteristics. Lacquered.
EXTRA OFFENSIVE 7 POWER
SWEDEN CLASSIC
Unsurpassed ball feeling and superb control gives a perfect
blade for players that can mix technical attack near the
table and top spin play short distance from the table.
5 wooden veneers. Lacquered.
ALNADE
The table tennis blade ALNADE from Yasaka is an advanced
blade developed by both japanese and swedish technicians.
By using the ultra-fast carbon material PA CARBON, the result
has become a very fast blade with relatively low weight.
ALNADE consists of 5 wooden veneers in combination with
2 layers of PA CARBON. Lacquered.
BATTLE BALSA
In BATTLE BALSA Yasaka has combined the best balsa
quality with Scandinavian pine to produce a faster blade,
but still with a low weight. The special feeling of a “self
playing blade” is of course still there. 5 wooden veneers.
Lacquered.
Explanations:
Speed: 20 = max. Control: 20 = max.
Sweet-spot: the size of the hitting spot
with sustained ball control
When producing the plywood for a blade, veneers (thin slices) of
both different kinds of wood and thicknesses are used. The veneers
are glued together in carefully chosen combinations and numbers,
depending on the characteristics we are looking for.
To select the right quality of wood, which type of veneer and to
know the exact thickness of the different veneers is half of the secret
behind the blade quality. Knowledge about the gluing process,
the drying process and finishing work is the other half.

What determines the characteristics
OF A GOOD BLADE?
Choose the
right blade!
A higher number of veneers
in a blade give a faster
blade.
Incorporating carbon fibres
in the plywood improves
the torsional strength and
the blade can be faster wit-
hout increasing the weight
too much.
A harder outer veneer gives
a faster blade, with lower
arc, but a softer outer vene-
er improves the control cha-
racteristics (feeling).
In some of the Yasaka bla-
des, balsa wood, a very
light wood is used. The
“balsa blades” have special
characteristics, much appre-
ciated by certain players.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT BALL!
A table tennis ball has a hard life. Players hit as hard as they can, with
faster and faster bats. The speed of the ball can be more than 100 km per
hour, and within a 10th of a second the direction of the ball is reversed. In
addition, the rotation of the ball is very high and the direction of the rotation
is changing very quickly.
To have the best ball for competition and practise and at the same time
considering economy and value it is important that you choose the right ball.
Yasaka balls are available in two different qualities.
Yasaka Super ★ 40+
Cell-free training ball. White and yellow. Available
in 3-pcs boxes and boxes with 120 balls.
