It has a rubber smell that's a step above your typical rubber.
Some people might not be able to stand it.
I used the 1.9mm on the forehand of a chop blade.
Chops come out with plenty of spin and stay low. Pushes and serves have good spin too, so there's no shortage in defensive technique.
On top of that, when attacking, it grips the ball well and lets you hit an arcing topspin drive from close to the table, mid-distance, or way back.
It's not cheap, but the performance justifies the price, so if you're a chopper who wants solid consistency along with some attacking ability, this is a rubber worth considering.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I bought the FT ver. D, and since I was going for a full Mizuno setup, I paired it with the Q3 — I wanted to compare them, so I kept both at 1.9mm thickness.
My blade is 88g, so the total racket weight came to 185g. If I'd gone with max thickness, it would've been too heavy for me to swing.
Compared to the Q3, it grips the ball well and topspin shots are easy to put on.
It's not that it's hard to use because it's overly affected by incoming spin, but I was thrown off by how low the trajectory is on pushes.
Both the Q3 and Q4 are on the harder side, but they don't bounce as much as you'd expect, so blocking and stopping felt easy.
Even so, it still has enough power that you won't lose an exchange at mid-distance, so I think it's a rubber that can really contribute.
Right now I'm using Q4 on my forehand and Q3 on my backhand, but since the Q3 needs you to generate the spin yourself, I think using Q4 on both sides would work fine too.
This might be the perfect rubber for anyone who gave up on the 05 for money reasons and got tired of the G1.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I used the 1.9mm thickness. Maybe it's the sheet's characteristics, but this rubber is strong against topspin balls in general. The pattern of a sharp chop followed by countering the opponent's lifted loop is quite easy to pull off with it. It also holds up well in topspin rallies from farther back. Overall, its attacking performance is quite high. And despite that high attacking performance, its chopping and pushing are also solid. It cuts well and settles right down onto the table nicely, which is excellent. As for backspin balls, they do come out with a noticeably low trajectory, but as I mentioned, since this rubber makes it easy to counter after making the opponent lift the ball, I actually see that as an advantage. For the forehand, with sharp chops plus attacking that would put dedicated attackers to shame, I think this is a good option for modern choppers to consider.

I'm an attack-oriented chopper. I have it on my forehand, and it cuts well. Serves have good bite. And specifically for backspin techniques like chopping, the bounce suddenly drops right off. Chops come in at just the right speed with a straight trajectory, driving into the opponent's court really well. And when I switch to attacking, even from mid to far distance from the table, it flies with a satisfying amount of power. The only downside is that it cuts spin on its own so much that it's hard to produce a knuckle ball. Still, if you're a player who's looking to keep developing your skills — especially choppers — definitely give this one a try at least once.

My first impression hitting with Q4 was that the feel on contact is quite hard — maybe close to the feel of a tacky rubber. But unlike a tacky rubber, the ball leaves the sheet fast. Because the ball releases so quickly I assumed it wasn't putting on that much spin, but it actually grabs quite a lot. I'd put it at the top tier among spin tension rubbers. Compared to the previous Q3, it flies to the opponent's court with a slightly higher arc, so despite the hard feel, it's easy to hit with and produces speed too. What I liked best about this rubber was hitting against chops. You can forcefully meet a floating chop and put it away. Since it's on the harder side, I think it pairs well with blades like the Fortius FT or other inner-carbon-type blades.

Comparing this to Q3.
Spin: Q4 > Q3
Speed: Q4 < Q3
Bounce: Q4 < Q3
Control: Q4 > Q3I expected it to be close to Tenergy 05 and planned to use it on the forehand, but regardless of good or bad, it's a rubber with a different direction from Tenergy 05.
Given the stability of its arc and how little it bounces, personally I'd want to use this on the backhand.
I'd heard that backspin balls come out lower than expected, but I didn't really feel that. Backspin-related shots like pushes and chops both come out low and straight, giving a stable feel. There's also plenty of spin on drives, so it made sense to me why a chopper would want this on their forehand.
I'd recommend it for the backhand of an intermediate inverted-rubber-on-both-sides looper, or the forehand of a chopper.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
