5Q VIP is the further development of TIBHAR 5Q. 5Q VIP perfectly unites 3 main characteristics:
• OPTIMAL BALL CURVE (OPTRA) / SPIN GENERATION
• POWER (SPI) / ENERGY TRANSFER
• PLAYING SENSATION (SPI) / CONTROL
Many years of development and researches were put at profit to conceive a revolutionary surface with a new rubber mixture allowing to further optimize the ball contact onto the pallet and the energy transfer in any type of exchange. However, the most remarkable point about this rubber is the further development of the sponge. The combination of open pores with an extremely elastic, but still tensioned rubber mixture, results in an explosive sponge conferring simultaneously power and playing sensation in all your strokes.

Using 2.1mm, 50g.
- It's not just a soft rubber - it can produce shots of a quality good enough for top players to use.
- Easy to vary pace! Even in topspin rallies, high-quality topspin drives come easy!
- Even though it's a soft rubber, the bounce is weak, so you can put everything into your spin without missing.
I was surprised at how high-quality the shots were, good enough to use on the forehand too.
Also, ball retention is excellent, and you can feel that on pushes, flicks, mid-distance lifts, and fish shots too - it had that feel where, like the tagline says, you really think "so this is what they mean by grabbing and releasing the ball!?"
It's a bit more affected by spin, so drive-blocks and counter-drives were difficult, but I could draw the arc I intended and it had that easy handling where you feel like you can force the ball onto the table from anywhere.
It's not a rubber with shockingly high performance, but rather one that makes up for a less pleasant feel on contact.
It's a bit pricey, but it was a good rubber I could recommend even to beginner and intermediate players.
At the very least, it's clearly easier to handle and feels softer than the Quantum X Pro.
I'd recommend picking it up on a discount if you're looking for a new sensation.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

A rubber that's not in the catalog. I bought it because it was on sale at some website. The bounce is decent, and the grip on the ball is pretty strong.
