    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    An advanced-level rubber with excellent spin and control characteristics. Developed as a successor to Tenergy 05, it excels in durability while featuring a firm feel and distinctive odor. It delivers superior performance for skilled players who can master its characteristics.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent rotation with powerful drive and serve spin
    • Long-lasting durability with high-quality top sheet
    • Firm feel with good grip sensation and ball retention
    • Easy counter-attacks with strong aggressive capability
    • Distinctive strong odor requiring skill and adaptation
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe sheet feels soft and provides a clear sense of gripping the ball. While it doesn't produce Tenergy's speed, the rotation is comparable or superior, and durability is significantly longer.
    ▽ CriticalDifficult to lift against backspin and lacks Tenergy's auto-feel, requiring proper technique and power. Also heavier and less suitable for hard hitters.

      Table tennis lover NO.1 (Experience: 2〜3 years) It flies!!!

      Reviews by user

      It really flies.

      My drives keep going over the table…


      It takes a while to get used to.

      But it's easy to put spin on


      The sponge hardness rating is pretty firm, but it doesn't feel that hard in practice, and the ball sinks in nicely.

      And So-so

      Reviews by user

      Serve → not much spin.
      Drive against backspin → doesn't lift well.
      Drive against topspin → powerful shots go in consistently.
      Short game → easy to do.

      With backspin serves, no matter which inverted rubber I've used, they've generally come back on the table, but with Q5 it's iffy.

      Lifting backspin with a drive feels a bit tough.

      I thought this is a rubber that could give you a real edge once you get into a topspin rally.

      Enjoy table tennis! (Experience: 4〜5 years) Against backspin...

      Reviews by user

      It was heavy, lol. I put 2.1mm Q5 on both sides of an Innerforce Layer ALC and the total weight came to 193g, so back-to-back drives were tough.
      Against topspin, it just flies off the racket like crazy.
      I switched to Q5 and went straight into a match, and I couldn't control my drives or smashes at all, making a ton of overshoot mistakes.
      Against backspin, it didn't grip the ball much on the forehand. But the backhand was really good. The short game was easy to handle.

      Overall, I felt like "hm, this feels kind of tacky."

      Good at rotating (Experience: 2〜3 years) Really great, right?

      Reviews by user

      I put this on my forehand. I used it in my last tournament in 9th grade and made it into the top results. What's amazing about this rubber is that even though it's hard, the ball sinks into it easily. I never lose out in exchanges with my opponent. My drives go in deep, so even when I lift the ball in a match it lands deep with spin on it and the ball skids through, so my opponents seemed to have trouble handling it. The lifespan might be short, but give it a try.

      Nothing (Experience: 6〜10 years) So close!

      Reviews by user

      I've used both Q3 and Q4, but I couldn't really tell much difference between the two - maybe Q4 was a bit easier to put spin on. Since there wasn't much difference between the previous models, I had pretty high expectations for this one, but... The amount of spin is good
      and the speed is there too
      and it's easier to lift backspin balls, so I thought it was a rubber with no weaknesses, but I felt the control was a bit lacking.
      It flies really fast, so I think it's better to hit while holding back a bit.

      Table tennis (Experience: 11〜20 years) Goes in even without much focus on control

      Reviews by user

      Loop drives, regular topspin drives, and smashes all go in even at 70-80% power, so it's really easy to use.

      cat Cat (Experience: 4〜5 years) Not recommended for beginners

      Reviews by user

      I tried putting it on just one side too, but control is difficult. I lent it to a beginner friend and aside from pushes, there was basically no spin on it lolw <maybe my friend's just bad> I think advanced players will definitely find it easy to use, so please give it a try.
