    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    A hard tension rubber with excellent speed characteristics, featuring a fast and linear trajectory. While rotation performance is high, it requires technical skill to handle properly, making it difficult for beginners without sufficient swing speed or impact force. Multiple reviews recommend it for backhand use.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional speed with a linear, flat ball trajectory
    • High rotation performance excelling in serves and drives
    • Soft feel despite 47° hardness rating, widely praised for backhand
    • Requires technical skill; challenging for beginners
    • Consistent observation that pushes and stops emerge lower than expected
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe speed is incredible and it stays on the table even with a full swing from the front court. It handles all techniques excellently from short-range to back-court play at a high level, making it truly recommendable for all-around players.
    ▽ CriticalThis is a hard rubber with severe performance characteristics. Without strong impact timing, the ball becomes flat and lacks power. Players without sufficient swing speed or ability to compress the sponge will struggle to master this rubber, which is clearly designed for advanced players.

      In (Experience: More than 20 years) Softer than expected and doesn't bounce much

      Reviews by user

      I use V>15 Extra on both sides of a Chinese-style penhold blade.
      I won this in a monitor giveaway, so I put it on the reverse side and tried it out in practice and tournaments for about two weeks.

      <Good points>
      The topsheet's grip on the ball is really good. I didn't feel like the rubber was heavy.
      Serves, stops, pushes, flicks, chiquita and other short-game techniques, blocks, lobs —
      every technique felt easy to execute.

      <Compared to V>15 Extra>
      In terms of ball power, it doesn't bounce as much as V>15 Extra, so it lacks that extra push and the speed is slower.
      When countering, the rubber felt soft and there were several times the ball dropped short.

      I don't use the Tenergy line because I dislike that "grabbing" interval feeling, but
      I do feel the Q3 grabs the ball too, or rather, sinks into the sponge.

      I thought it might be worth using on the backhand.

      The spin and initial speed on drives are just insane. It grips the ball well too, so you can drive back backspin balls even over the table. I use Japanese penhold, so I can't say anything about chiquita.

      Mouth (Experience: 4〜5 years) A wonderful rubber

      Reviews by user

      I used this after winning it in a monitor giveaway.
      The first thing I noticed hitting forehand shots was that the rubber is quite hard. The sponge and topsheet both felt firm.
      This probably also depends on my own stroke, but I felt like it didn't really hold onto the ball much.
      That said, it's very easy to lift backspin serves on the third ball — even with just a light graze, the ball comes up nicely. Also, even hitting it flat, the ball still lifts and you can produce some really nasty shots.
      I'd been using harder rubbers up until now, so I found it very easy to hit with, but I think players used to softer rubbers will need some time to adjust.
      Serves come out short and with heavy spin.
      Also, since my practice partner was a chopper, they said it was very easy to chop against.
      It was a really excellent rubber, so please do give it a try!

      Rattle (Experience: 2〜3 years) So hard!!

      Reviews by user

      My older brother won a red and black pair (2 sheets) in a trial-monitor giveaway, so I put them on both sides of a Fortius blade. Hitting forehand drives, it's just plain hard and geared toward power hitters. My forehand was max thickness and backhand was thick, but since I switched my backhand from Tenergy 64 to Q3, it didn't feel like it flew much. If you're going to buy it, max thickness is definitely the way to go.
      Personally, I prefer that sharp "crack" feeling you get from GF PRO drives...

      The GF series up until now didn't feel like it had a strong sense of continuity between models (maybe that's just me), but in any case, I was surprised by how fast the Q3 is.

      Miya (Experience: 6〜10 years) Won a hands-on trial monitor spot, used it

      Reviews by user

      It's just fast, period. I'd say the drives are on the faster end compared to any rubber I've used. Then there's the spin — it grips solidly and the drives go in well. On top of that, the ball comes off quickly. I'd say it's for advanced players.
      This is Mizuno's serious rubber. I won it in a trial-monitor giveaway and got it for free, and I'd like to keep using it going forward. It's in the 6,000 yen range, but I'm very satisfied with it.
