I thought Q5 is a rubber that splits opinion. If anything it's closer to G1 - if you grab it firmly with the sheet, you get a lot of spin. If you're used to Butterfly's famous trio (the TDR rubbers), I think this will feel like it flies too much. Either way, it's an incredibly good rubber, so it's worth trying.

I've got 1.9mm on my forehand.
It's an amazing rubber - full swings go in
and flat hits (meet shots) go in too.
The rubber feels hard to the touch, but feels soft when you actually hit with it.
It doesn't have much of a learning curve and I think it's a good rubber.
That said, it might be hard for beginners to use.
I think if you can master it, it can do just about anything!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I'm really feeling that this is a fantastic rubber. The way it sinks in, the amount of friction it grips with, topspin rallies, how easy it is to time your hits - the balance of everything makes it easier to use than anything I've had before❗ Up until now it feels like the challenge has always been whether the player can master a rubber that's already built the way it is.

Personally, my impression is that this rubber transforms a lot depending on the blade you pair it with. Compared to Tenergy the bounce is a bit lower, but that translates into better control, so if you're on the fence about buying Tenergy, I think it's worth trying this one first. The feel is a little on the hard side, but there's a sense of the ball sinking in, similar to Rasanter R47. You can punch through a chopped ball with a drive using relatively little power. That said, depending on the blade, blocking with the same feel as whatever rubber you were using before can be hard to get in. I also feel a bit of a learning curve with the angle for the short game. But once you get used to it, you can hit very deep, sharp shots. For inverted-on-both-sides close-to-the-table attacking players, I think pairing Q5 on the forehand with something like Rozena on the backhand works well. If you're running short pips, you can cover the lower bounce with something bouncy like VO>102. I haven't tried it with long pips so I can't say, but I think it would also work fine for a style that mixes up pace. For chopping, gluing it at medium thickness feels like it could work well enough spin-wise. That said, if you're not someone who combines chopping and attacking, I don't think there's much need to bother putting this on.

You feel some hardness in the feel of the ball, but there's a sinking sensation and good ball-holding. It feels kind of like an 80 made a bit harder. I used to use Q4 for chopping, but for attacking this one was far easier to use. The ease of countering in particular is fantastic.
For chops and pushes, Q4 flies lower so it feels more reassuring, but Q5 also sinks in a moderate amount so it holds the ball well, and it's not as flying a rubber as Tenergy, so I think it's relatively easy to use. It's like a milder Tenergy with the quirks of the Q series smoothed out, so I think it's a good all-around rubber that works regardless of playing style.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I haven't used Q3 or Q4, but from a chopper's perspective, Q5 feels like it sits in the middle between Tenergy 05 and Hurricane Pro3 Turbo Orange (kind of in-between, if that makes sense).
Chopping stability against strong or weak shots and loop drives feels about the same as Tenergy 05, but it falls well short of Hurricane in terms of sharpness. For attacking, the trajectory feels higher than with Tenergy or Hurricane, and I think Hurricane and Tenergy are better in terms of spin and speed.
That said, for someone past the beginner stage, I think it's good overall because the control gives you a real sense of security.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I've got the medium thickness on the reverse side of my Chinese penhold. I switched over from Rozena medium, and since it's a lot more expensive, it was expected that Q5 would have more power, but I also felt Q5 was better for control and ease of use on soft shots. When hitting close to the table, contacting the ball with a thicker angle was more stable. Counters in particular were easy and stable. It's pricey, but I plan to keep using it.
