The purple sponge looks really cool.
It's not just about looking cool though — it delivers proper spin and speed, and drives are consistent.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The ball comes off quickly.
The feel on impact is on the slightly hard side.
Drives carry a lot of spin.
The amount of spin on drives varies.
Blocking is easy too.
Works whether you play back or up close.
Speed is fast.
The sponge looks cool.
Value for money is bad. Arc is high.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I use max thickness on my forehand. Hitting drives, my impression is that it delivers both spin and speed at the same time. It's a rubber that really lives up to Mizuno's concept. The topsheet grips the ball strongly, so even on a rushed shot the arc comes up on its own and the ball goes in. Even hitting a fast drive, the speed is incredible, and with the spin on top of that, opponents' blocks tend to fly long. Loop drives come out with an amazingly high arc. It's easy to use from any distance from the table.

I use this on my forehand.
To put it broadly, it feels a bit like a tacky rubber —
the feel on impact is hard, and I think it suits players who like generating their own spin rather than relying on the ball's incoming spin.Lifting backspin and countering with spin of your own are both easy,
and it's easy to control using spin.Personally, flat hitting is really hard with this one.
It's difficult to hit flat.It's not suited for people who like the feel of sinking the ball deep into the sponge, but
since the ball actually flies, I found it easier to handle than tacky rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Sughi (Experience: More than 20 years) Quality varies, be careful!

There's a lot of variation in rubber hardness, especially in the topsheet.
Because of that, one sheet I had felt like a springy Chinese rubber, almost like a super-thin bounce-type. The other one had a softness close to 47.5 degrees, more like a German-style spin tension rubber.
The first one barely let the ball sink into the sponge, to the point I thought it must be aimed at Chinese-rubber users.
The second one felt very easy to put spin on and easy to control.
That said, from mid-to-far from the table, I couldn't deny it lacked power compared to Tenergy 05, even sinking the ball into the sponge.
It felt purely suited to close-to-the-table play.
If quality improves and it becomes more consistent, it might turn into something great.
When buying, you need to be careful and pick through store stock to check whether the topsheet is soft, otherwise it's a bit risky.I'm hoping for good things from the Q4, which is said to be the later 64-style version.

Yukki (Experience: 6〜10 years) Comparison with GFT48

I switched my forehand from GFT48 (MAX) to Q3 (2.1mm), so here's a review comparing the two.
[Impression of Q3]
The sponge has small, dense bubbles and is hard. The topsheet is on the softer side of firm for something used by top players.
It feels like GFT48 with both the sponge and topsheet made harder.
The feel on impact doesn't feel as hard as you'd expect (given how hard the sponge is), probably because the topsheet is on the softer side.
[Speed]
Both drives and flat hits are just a bit faster than GFT48.
Should be plenty for playing close to mid-distance from the table.
[Spin]
If you graze it thin, it grips a ton. If you hit it thick, you can produce drives with fast initial speed.
For serves, the spin comes out even from a motion that doesn't look like it's spinning much, so my opponents said they had trouble reading it.
If you really cut it, I think it can spin hard.
[Flat hitting]
It's heavily affected by the opponent's spin, making flat hits tricky. (When I tried to hit a ball with a bit of topspin on it flat, it flew upward off the table.)
I think it's better suited to overpowering the opponent's spin with a drive instead.[Overall impression]
My impression is that the Q3 is a step up from the GFT48, and it's a good rubber that solved my issues with lack of spin.
I plan to keep using it for a while.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

happy (Experience: 11〜20 years) More similar to the 05 than expected

I bought the red max thickness.
The way the ball comes off felt very similar to Tenergy 05 (thick), but apart from that it felt like a downgraded 05.
I got the impression the topsheet is soft while the sponge is hard.
Weight including the package ranged from 93.0 to 94.5, and I picked the 94.0 one.
Also, up close to the table it felt quite similar to 05, but once I stepped back to play from farther away, I kept getting flat, dead balls.
I'd recommend either using it close to the table, or on the backhand, like Oshima mentioned.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
