katsuo000 (Experience: More than ２０ years) Feels like a soft, tacky rubber!
-

2.1mm, 49g.
I test-hit this with high expectations since it's known as the highest-spin rubber in the Q series.
- Softer than the Q3! Same hardness rating, but the sponge itself seems to be made softer.
- Not quite as easy as Tenergy 05 FX, but manageable enough to use on the backhand too.
- The arc is very low, so drives tend to land shallow on the table. Easy to aim for the sides! Because the arc is low, the ball also feels faster.
- The power of the loop drive is definitely there!
- Counter-driving the ball at the top of the bounce is easy to do!
That was my overall impression.
On the other hand, here's what I wasn't happy with:
- Pushes and stops come in low, but they have basically no bite.
- When you sink the ball in, it feels like it hits the blade right away, so speed drives during rallies are easy to do, but they tend to become light, flat-hit-style speed drives.
- The spin isn't low, but since it's easy to sink the ball in and handle, it's not particularly high either.
- Because it's soft, when you try to catch the ball with the topsheet, you sometimes catch it too thin and mishit.
This turned out to be a different rubber than I imagined. It has a lot of quirks, so I found it interesting. I prefer the Q4 over the Q3, and I got used to it quickly.
Still, I personally prefer something harder.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I'll write up my impressions of using this on the forehand as an inverted-on-both-sides looper.
First, looking around at various reviews I saw comments like "soft, it sinks in," but I don't know if the other reviewers just have monster impact or what - my own impression was that it feels "hard."
The distinctive way this sheet grabs the ball reminded me of andro's Rasant Powergrip, which came out a while back.
As the official description says, the sheet's pimples are low and thick, which is probably part of why they feel similar.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Pros
Draws a nice arc, so it lands well in the opponent's court.
Grips the ball well, so it's easy to get spin on.
Loop drives bite insanely well.
High performance for the price.
Cons
Being soft, it's a bit hard to use for the short game (just my opinion).
If you don't have much power, close to the table is recommended - playing away from the table seemed to need a bit more strength.
Summary
In the end, I thought it was a great rubber. My top pick in the whole Q series!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I'm a chopper. I used max thickness on my forehand (I know, that'll surprise people), but it's a dream rubber for choppers - it has plenty of bounce when you attack, but doesn't bounce when you chop. I can't believe a rubber this good exists... (advanced choppers, this is the one). When driving, the arc is high and it's very stable.

Susumu. (Experience: ２〜３ years) A spin-focused rubber!

First off, this is a spin-focused rubber!
Naturally on serves, but on every technique, you get plenty of spin! On top of that, it has a moderate amount of bounce too, so players who prioritize bounce might find it a bit lacking, but the average user probably won't mind at all.
The arc is high, and the ball drops sharply once it's over the opponent's side!The standout feature is the loop drive! It gets an insane amount of spin. The loop drive goes from being just a connecting shot to a shot you can score points with directly! I think that's thanks to the great grip on the ball.
Overall, aside from the bounce, this was a really great rubber!
The smell is distinctly strong, so please be aware of that when you buy it!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Acquaintance of peppers (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Unique ball trajectory

I used the max-thickness version on my backhand. The ball flies higher, so I get very few net misses on blocks and drives. Even balls I thought would overshoot end up landing on the table surprisingly often. On the other hand, pushing feels completely different from other rubbers. Maybe because the topsheet grips the ball so well, if you push with the same feel as other rubbers, it almost always catches the net. That said, it's just a matter of getting used to it and can be fixed quickly. Since the push comes in low with plenty of spin, it might even become a scoring shot for you.
I've written mostly good things, but if there's one downside, it's that the rubber has a distinct smell, different from a booster smell, that I didn't really like.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The biggest feature of this rubber is the loop drive! It's got so much spin that opponents overshoot returning it! The loop drive turns from just a connecting shot into a real weapon!
Also, thanks to its natural spin, serves have great bite too.
The second feature is that it's easy to apply backspin. Because of that, pushes come in sharp, and stops land nice and short!
Given its 47.5 hardness rating, it felt softer than I expected. That's because the topsheet is soft.
