    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Q4 is highly evaluated as a rotation-focused rubber with excellent spin performance and grip strength. Loop drives are particularly outstanding with high trajectory and stability, but users note that its unique ball feel and table play techniques require practice to master.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Loop drive power and spin are excellent and become a weapon
    • High trajectory enables stable and easy-to-control drives
    • Table play techniques like pushing and serving are unique and require learning
    • Strong grip strength and easy-to-grasp ball feel
    • High cost performance with long durability
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveLoop drives transform from connecting balls into point-winning shots. The high trajectory makes the ball drop steeply on opponent's court, and the excellent grip strength provides consistent spin.
    ▽ CriticalTable play techniques are unique and require adaptation. The sheet's excellent grip means using the same technique as other rubbers can cause balls to float or hit the net unexpectedly.

      Thanks. (Experience: 6〜10 years) Compared to Q3

      Reviews by user

      First off, compared to Q3 I felt the arc was noticeably higher.
      And it's more sensitive to spin than Q3.
      If I had to describe it in Tenergy terms,
      Q3 is like a 64 and Q4 is like a 05.
      Either way, it's a fantastic rubber that's easy to use in the short game, close to the table, and mid-distance alike.
      Well worth paying 6,300 yen for!

      This one... reminds me of the Omega VII Asia I test-hit recently. Seriously, the amount of spin is insane. Even the Q3 already had high performance, but this one feels on par with it, or from my perspective, even a notch above. It produces a lot of spin, but it's hard to actually get that spin out. In other words, you need real muscle strength to make it work. I don't have all that much, so I gave up on using it on my backhand (my forehand rubber is already set). You also need to be careful choosing your blade, or you won't be able to handle this rubber properly. It's that much of a "high risk, high reward" rubber.

      I like Mizuno (Experience: 2〜3 years) Q3 got easier to use

      Reviews by user

      Used thick on the backhand.
      My weapon is the backhand short-game drive over the table, and I heard Q3 got easier to use, so I gave it a try.
      I've used Q3 on the backhand before, and with Q3 there were times I couldn't generate my own spin.
      But with Q4, spin is easy to put on, so I can generate my own spin, and my backhand drive has become better than ever.
      Mizuno's rubbers are on the harder side with strong grip on the ball, so it really suits me.
      I plan to keep using it going forward.

      Shark (Experience: 11〜20 years) The rubber choppers were waiting for

      Reviews by user

      *Re-edited.
      Drives bounce well, chops don't bounce.
      This rubber embodies exactly what a chopper would wish for.

      I expected spin to grab solidly,
      but it avoids the usual dilemma of spin-oriented tension rubbers
      where more spin also means being more affected by the opponent's incoming spin.

      If anything, it's strong against topspin,
      and combined with the firmer sponge (hardness 47), it rarely lost out to the opponent's spin.

      ★Added 2017.7.17
      Putting backspin on the ball feels different from other rubbers — the trajectory comes out flat and straight.
      This is also what gives that non-bouncy feel when chopping.
      Because of this unusual trajectory, it might take some time to get used to,
      but once you do, you can use low chops as a weapon, so I'd recommend it.

      Kaname (Experience: 6〜10 years) It's hard

      Reviews by user

      This is quite hard. And along with that,
      it's also heavy.
      First off, it's not really an option
      for junior high students or women's players.
      It might work well for players from
      high school age and up
      who can put a solid, powerful
      swing on every shot.

      For both serves and drives,
      if you can hit with enough strength
      and the right angle to really dig into
      the surface texture,
      you get a really good ball out of it.
      That's its strength.
      Otherwise, it's always a flat, spinless ball.

      It doesn't have the low barrier to entry
      that something like Tenergy or Fastarc has.
      It's kind of like a high-end shop
      that turns away first-time customers.

      S (Experience: 2〜3 years) Spin is insane

      Reviews by user

      Used on the forehand (thick)
      The first thing I noticed using this was just how much spin it grabs.
      I had TSP's Ventus Spin on before, and compared to that, lifting backspin balls is easier with this one, and it has speed too, so I've been finishing more points on the third ball.
      The rubber is on the hard side, and the sound on contact is a kind of crisp "clack-clack" sound.
      To sum up:
      - Grabs spin
      - Has speed
      - Easy to drive with

      I guess that about covers it......

      Alexandra (Experience: 6〜10 years) Improves on Q3's performance

      Reviews by user

      I used this for about a week as a trial.

      Just as I'd heard, topspin rallies are quite easy to play.
      Thanks to the sheet's characteristics, serves also bite well.

      The one thing I found lacking was that I felt it could use a bit more grip on the ball.
      Overall, it's a rubber with really solid performance.
