I suggest keep on using Yasaka Mark V, Stiga Innova is not better than Mark V.

actually i want a rubber with better control than the markV, any suggestion ?

What thickness do you use actually? What is your preferred playing style?

i play 2.1mm thick and allround style. i want one is less aggressive and more spinful, good control and medium speed.

Maybe Donic J.O.Waldner, Stiga Mendo or Tibhar Rapid.
I would say J.O.Waldner first; if this is still too powerful than something like Innova (no UL)or Mendo Energy, or if it's all too soft Mendo or Rapid.

what is the difference between the innova and the innova UL?

On Rapid and maybe Mendo I would reduce the thickness to 1.8, Innova could also be better in 1.8.

IUL is some grades softer than normal Innova and makes shots a lot more difficult, even more if it is compared to Mark V.

A soft backhand alternative for MarkV could be Mark V GPS, also in 1.8 instead of 2.0.

If there are huge problems actually with those fast rubbers together with that offensive clipper-wood and you didn't become used to use MarkV on that wood, then you can surely switch to more different rubbers like IUL or, as an extreme, Chop&Drive.

i have tried the IUL today and i like it a lot.
it is light and more controlled than the MarkV.
however i cannot say it's better than the markV since markV is much faster. i wwonder why the rubber "dry out" so easily and i need to change need one very often.
BTW, how much is the IUL in your countries? it is just $us15.692 in hong kong here.
