    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.

      This rubber feels amazing to hit with!
      It has that same automatic feel Tenergy gives you. But it's easier to handle than Tenergy!
      Both the spin and the rotation are top-level! You don't even need to put in that much power to get a good shot, and if you do put power into it, you get seriously fast, spinny balls!
      I put this on a non-carbon blade and it still flew this well, so I imagine it'd be incredible on a carbon blade!
      Definitely give it a try!

      I think the grip on this rubber is top-tier.
      It never drops off at all, and the amount of spin is enough to make you wonder if it's actually tacky rubber
      And on top of that, the distance is no problem either — I honestly think it might have surpassed Tenergy.

      Nekomaru (Experience: 4〜5 years) Best Mizuno rubber ever

      Reviews by user

      I went to a Q5 demo event and tried it out
      The sheet has just the right softness to really grip the ball, and the sponge had a decent firmness to it
      If I had to compare it, it's like a Q4 with a slightly firmer sponge, or a more manageable Fastarc G1
      I was impressed by how the drives went in deep and low — it's a well-balanced rubber, good for grinding out drives on the forehand and good for meeting the ball on the backhand too
      *When doing topspin drives with this rubber, catching the top of the ball gives you a good shot

      These are my thoughts on trying the test rubber mounted on a Fortius FT.

      First, just touching the rubber sheet, I thought "it's come this far!"
      The grip on the ball is unlike any spin rubber before it.
      Next I tried some topspin drives.
      The first thing that surprised me was how the ball just goes in on its own.
      I was impressed — it goes in about as well as the 05. Even from an awkward position, the whole-body rotation kicks in automatically and the ball lands deep in the opponent's court.
      Next, I was surprised by the spin and speed of the drive. Since the Q3 performs like the 64 and the Q4 like the 05, I figured the Q5 would be something like the 80, but I was proven wrong in a good way.
      The 80 felt like a middle ground between the 05 and 64, but the Q5 isn't a middle-ground rubber — its spin is above the Q4's and its speed is above the Q3's, and the control is excellent too.

      This is truly the strongest!

      Finally, let me note the downsides of the Q5!
      1. Expensive


      2. Beginners might develop weird habits from using it!


      3. Hard to receive with


      It's a bit pricey, but it's worth every penny, so if you've got some room in your budget, it releases in May — definitely give it a try!
