    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Q QUALITY is highly regarded as a versatile rubber that combines excellent spin and control performance, gaining attention as an alternative to Tenergy. However, quality inconsistencies due to specification changes and supply instability remain significant issues.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent spin and control performance combined
    • Superior value and durability compared to Tenergy
    • Enhanced power output with sponge-compression hitting technique
    • Versatile usability suitable for beginners to intermediate players
    • Quality variance and supply chain instability are concerns
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveWhen hitting with a sponge-compression technique, the spin rotation rivals Tenergy 05/19, with exceptional control. Block and counter-rotation effectiveness is extraordinary, delivering 7000-yen-tier performance in a value rubber.
    ▽ CriticalPrice increases have reduced competitiveness, with numerous equal-or-better cheaper alternatives available. Production instability causing stock shortages and thickness unavailability remains a critical problem.

      see_saw (Experience: 11〜20 years) A finicky rubber you have to master through your own power

      Reviews by user

      I bought both the 2022 version and the 2023-and-later version (purchased in 2025), and the impression is completely different.
      Compared to the same product 3 years ago, three things stand out: ① the sheet is much harder, ② it bounces less, ③ the ball doesn't leave the rubber as quickly — combined with the sponge hardness listed at 46°, the gap versus how hard it actually feels is huge, making it a rubber that demands a lot of concentration for both drives and flat hits.
      Because it's so hard, the ball really rises when you grab it, but if you try to take the ball at the top of the bounce it drops. Even on a flat hit alone it drops. That said, the spin is genuinely very strong. It's a rubber that requires considerable skill to use, and was just plain difficult overall.
      I matched it with an Altius Inner to keep the same brand, but the compatibility was clearly bad. I felt you need a soft, bouncy blade to make the most of this spin.
      Also, after peeling it off just once, the sponge tore in the center of the rubber, so be careful.

      I play penhold pips, ya know Best value ever, right?

      Reviews by user

      First, considering most table tennis shops give a bit of a discount, you can get it for just under 5,000 yen, so it's great value for money!
      The rubbers I'd compare it to are Tamasu's Rozena or Yasaka's Rakza series, and this one outperforms and is easier to use than either of them!
      The sponge hardness is listed as 46°, but because the sheet is soft, it doesn't feel that hard! The speed is decent too, but when you back off the ball feels like it drops a bit, so I think it's suited to players who play close to the table!
      When you really sink the ball in it, it gets heavier and more stable!
      The spin is about average!

      Toshihisa (Experience: 6〜10 years) An honor student for close/mid distance play, opinions split by playstyle

      Reviews by user

      The sheet and sponge are both soft, so the ball holds well and it's easy to hit.
      Overall, in a good way, I'd call it a high-performance rubber with no bad quirks, aimed at intermediate players who generate their own spin and play close-to-mid-distance.
      Right now I'm using it on an inner blade, but if you want to play from farther back, I think it'd work decently on an outer blade too.

      Compared to rubbers like Dignics or MX-D, its maximum speed and spin are naturally a bit lower, but it's easy to hit flat and block with, easy to bring out the rubber's performance, and it lets you produce a steady stream of high-quality, stable shots, so I think it's perfect for intermediate players looking to step up to advanced level.
      Personally I felt its ceiling was a bit higher than Rozena's. I'm planning to use it on both forehand and backhand for a while.

      Lastly, opinions on how this rubber feels to use were split right down the middle between me and an acquaintance, so I'll note that below.
      Good rubber for people who like generating their own spin or driving with an arc. (me)
      Not so great for people who like putting spin on automatically like Tenergy, or a flatter, faster hitting style. (my acquaintance)
      That's roughly how it went.
      I think this rubber is going to sell about as well as Rozena going forward.

      Ah-sama (Experience: 11〜20 years) High-performance close-to-table rubber

      Reviews by user

      Since I had the chance, I paired it with the new Altius Combo blade to hit with.
      The arc is a bit low, but the grip on the ball is strong, and once you get used to it, it's fun being able to place all kinds of shots close to the table.
      If you play from farther back, a blade with a bit more bounce might be better.

      Both forehand and backhand are solid, and I feel it really suits today's fast-paced table tennis.
      In particular, that piercing close-to-the-table drive is something only this rubber can give you.

      Gai (Experience: 6〜10 years) Easy short game, but power is a bit hard to bring out?

      Reviews by user

      I used Q5 on my backhand for about a year. Since I wanted a slightly softer rubber for the cold season, I bought the Q Quality at max thickness and used it for 5 hours over 2 days.

      Backhand evaluation.
      Against topspin, I could grip the ball firmly and produce balls with both good speed and good spin.
      Against backspin, hitting it thin made it easy to put on a decent amount of spin, maybe because the thin sheet catches easily, but on the other hand the speed didn't come out as much as I expected. I think it's better to hit it thicker while driving.
      Also, for flat hitting it's not that difficult.

      Forehand evaluation.
      I tried speed drives against backspin, and when I swung through firmly while putting spin on it, the ball really flew. That said, since it doesn't carry as much distance, cross-court shots need a solid impact.

      Overall, I feel this is Q5 made a bit softer — a good rubber with the essence of Q5 that intermediate-and-up players can use.
      It's easy to build an advantage starting from the short game, so it suits a close-to-mid-distance style.
      Also, if you can swing properly and put spin on it, I don't think it's unusable even away from the table.

      NIKAIDOU (Experience: 6〜10 years) High-end model with great value

      Reviews by user

      Compared to Tenergy it feels harder and more manual, but when you hit hard, the ball comes out sharp.
      The feel is close to MX-D, but this one is characterized above all by being light, around 47g after cutting to max thickness.
      The trajectory is on the low side but the ball doesn't drop, and you can hit sharp, spinny, fast balls with good stability.
      Paired with an outer blade, I'd recommend using it on the forehand; on the backhand it feels hard, so you need a solid impact.
      It had a reputation as a close-to-mid-distance rubber, but if you pick the right blade to pair it with, it can put out plenty of power even from away from the table, so I feel it's a rubber that suits a wide range of players.

      Also, I feel like inner blade + QQ is such a solid combo that it might catch on going forward.
      Above all, I think the reasonable price and light weight are trends at the intermediate level, so I expect to see this rubber around more in the future.

      Biceps that silence even a crying child (Experience: 4〜5 years) Good for playing close to the table

      Reviews by user

      I used it on my backhand.
      Overall, it's plenty good close to the table, but once you back off it demands a particular style of hitting. Unless you're a real power hitter, it might be tough.

      The feel on contact is great. It resonates nicely and feels good.
      It also feels like it bites into the ball.
      Control depends on your skill, but I'd say it's above average.

      Speed is below average. It flies in a straight line, so hitting close to the table it comes in sharp, but once you back off to mid-distance, you either have to brush it a lot to get an arc, or muscle it in with power. This is with the Innerforce ALC, by the way.

      Spin is entirely down to your arm. I don't have much arm strength so I couldn't bring it out much, but on the forehand with a loop drive, it grabbed the ball easily and produced spin without effort. If you're decent on the backhand too, I think you can push with spin.

      Some say the push is hard, but if you cut down firmly on it, it actually works well.

      My impression: close to the table with an inner blade, or if you back off use an outer blade — that's sort of the setup for a shot at it.
