It spins like crazy!
↔ But it's also easily affected by incoming spin.
So in topspin rallies, you basically won't lose the exchange.
But hitting against backspin can be tough unless you really commit to the swing.
If you let the ball sink into the sponge and drive through it, you'll get a good result.
Brushing it like you would a tacky rubber doesn't seem to produce a good ball.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

After hitting with it, my impression was that it's a rubber with tons of spin. It has more spin than Tenergy. You can hit a ball with a high, carrying trajectory. That said, it's a bit hard, so having to always hit it firmly to get the impact felt like a downside compared to Tenergy.
Apparently the Q5 outperforms even this, which sounds insane.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The spin is honestly nasty. It does feel pretty hard though, but that depends on your stroke too. Anyway, spin is easy to generate, so chiquita is easy, and if you put it on your forehand, everything — serves, drives, pushes — was easy to pull off. That said, pushes and stops fly forward a lot more than with other rubbers, so it takes some getting used to.

I'd used the 05 for a long time, but I switched to this one because it gave me better control and containment on chops and pushes. Unlike the 05, backspin shots fly flat and low without ballooning up much, so I can chop, push, and serve backspin aggressively with confidence. The amount of spin is comparable to the 05, I'd say.
That said, for attacking I think the 05 is better overall. It's not that the spin is worse, it's the bounce that's different. But that's only compared to the 05 — the Q4 itself is excellent. As a chopper, I pair it with a low-bounce blade that makes spin easy to generate, and I can still hit drives with tremendous spin. Speed isn't its strong point, but it's enough to draw block errors, which is plenty for a chopper's attacking game. Topspin rallies and counters from further back are also easy, which is nice.
You can send it out when you want and hold it back when you don't, so I'd definitely recommend this to choppers.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

A shop staff member recommended it, so I gave it a try. I used to run Bluefire JP02, but with the Q4 I get the feeling that pushes, chops, and smashes all land more consistently.
I'm a chopper, so I went with a 1.7mm sponge to keep the bounce down, but I can still drive and rally solidly, so I have no real complaints.
I've been practicing 2 hours a day, 4 days a week, and about a month and a half in, the surface color has faded but I don't feel any drop in quality.
The rubber is also light in weight, and since it's high-quality made-in-Japan rubber, even buying it online there's no variance in weight, so I switched over from Bluefire with confidence.
If I ever want to shift toward a more attacking style, I'd like to go up in sponge thickness, as long as it doesn't make the short game too awkward.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

First off, just like the manufacturer claims, this rubber puts out an extreme amount of spin.
It's in no way inferior to a certain 05 or a certain NEO 3 (top-tier grade).If that were all it had, other rubbers could substitute for it, but
its real strength is how easy it is to generate that spin.Even if you mishit slightly or can't get full swing speed, it still spins reliably,
so I think it's excellent at not letting your opponent easily seize the initiative.
Naturally, because the spin comes so easily, it's also very consistent.
Also, for this type of rubber, meet-hitting is surprisingly easy too. (Maybe something it inherited from the Q3?)As a spin-focused rubber, it's at an extremely high level
(a certain 05 has the edge in distance and bounce strength),
but given the performance, I'd say it's actually quite cheap.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I switched from the Q3 looking for more backhand consistency.
[Long game]
A lot of people say it's forehand-oriented, but with my stroke the ball popped up too much on the forehand, while it was actually just right on the backhand. (I used to net a lot of balls.)[Short game]
It doesn't get wild.
Like others have mentioned, pushes come off with a flat trajectory.Chiquita is very easy to pull off.
[Speed]
I'd say it's a bit slower than the Q3.[Spin]
It spins more than the Q3.[Feel]
It's supposed to be fairly hard, but for some reason it feels soft.I'd say this rubber's defining traits are how well it grips the ball and how high the arc is.
I used to have Q3 on both sides, but I switched just my backhand to this rubber for more consistency on chiquita and backhand drives.
