    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.

      L Attacking choppers should try this

      Reviews by user

      This rubber is said to suit attacking choppers, and to cut to the conclusion, it's a solid option. That said, you might find it hard to use at first. As mentioned elsewhere too, the way chops and pushes come off the rubber is quite distinctive — the ball comes out lower than you'd expect. So until you get used to that gap, you'll probably rack up more unexpected net misses than usual. In particular, when I chopped a smash with little spin on it, the ball went straight into the net more often than I anticipated. But once you understand that quirk, you can chop even powerful incoming balls with a stable, low, cutting, penetrating trajectory. It settles right onto the table smoothly. Pushes are no problem either.
      Whether it fits you or not will vary, and I myself wondered at first if I'd made a mistake, but once you get used to it, I think it's a rubber that's good both on offense and defense. Attacking choppers should definitely give it a try at least once.

      Mum (Experience: 4〜5 years) Surprisingly...

      Reviews by user

      This was an easy rubber to use.
      Used at max thickness, on the forehand.

      The sheet grip is extremely strong, and whether it's the sheet being soft or something else, it felt softer than the actual sponge hardness would suggest.
      Looping and lifting backspin balls, as well as hitting against chops, are all very easy.
      During topspin rallies the ball keeps rising higher and higher, which gives a real sense of stability.
      Serves have serious bite. Since you can put spin on in an instant, it's also easy to mix in a knuckle ball with a light flick of contact. If you receive normally you end up affected by the opponent's spin, so you either need to read the spin carefully, or, if that's not possible, it's better to just go in intending to overpower it with your own spin. The grip is so strong that overpowering it is actually the easier option.

      If you can hit normally, there's nothing that's hard to pull off, and you can fully compete on spin! Personally, spin comes on so easily that it let me get a little lazy with my connecting shots, which was a nice help. Drives taken at a high contact point sink hard and carry with real penetration.

      Durability is still an unknown for me...
      But it was, without question, a high-performance rubber.

      I used the Q4 in max thickness.

      In a word, I found this to be a rubber that grabs an insane amount of spin. Spin came out strong no matter what I did, and especially on loops, I don't think there are many Japanese-made rubbers that spin more than Tenergy 05 — this might be one of the few.
      Another point worth mentioning is that topspin rallies had the ball rising solidly upward, which made it really easy to play. The spin was so strong that it even got irregular bounces once. That's how good the spin performance is.
      The rest of the shots felt normal, and there wasn't anything in particular that was hard to do, but you do need to make a solid, deliberate impact every single time, and I think that's its one weakness.
      For defensive shots, chopping was easy to do.
      If you chop it with a grazing motion it doesn't fly, so you get good control and excellent spin.
      It's pricey, but I think if you have the skill to make full use of it, this rubber can even surpass Tenergy.

      Capy (Experience: 6〜10 years) Easy to use

      Reviews by user

      I'm a chopper, but it caught my eye in the shop so I tried gluing it on.
      Thickness is 1.7mm.

      Attacking in general is easy to do.
      The ball leaves the sheet quickly, and grazing it gives a solid feeling of grabbing spin for drives.
      I found serves easy to put spin on.
      Pushes also go in low and are easy to control.

      Chops caused some long misses at first, but once I got used to it I could keep them under control.
      My previous rubber was Mantra M, so it might just be that this one doesn't fly as much by comparison.

      I won't know the durability until I've used it more, but based on the sheet it seems like it should last a while.

      Overall it's made a good impression, but if I had to name one downside, it would be that the rubber has a distinctive smell (lol)
      It has a strong smell unlike any other rubber.
