I bought the FT ver. D, and since I was going for a full Mizuno setup, I paired it with the Q3 — I wanted to compare them, so I kept both at 1.9mm thickness.
My blade is 88g, so the total racket weight came to 185g. If I'd gone with max thickness, it would've been too heavy for me to swing.
Compared to the Q3, it grips the ball well and topspin shots are easy to put on.
It's not that it's hard to use because it's overly affected by incoming spin, but I was thrown off by how low the trajectory is on pushes.
Both the Q3 and Q4 are on the harder side, but they don't bounce as much as you'd expect, so blocking and stopping felt easy.
Even so, it still has enough power that you won't lose an exchange at mid-distance, so I think it's a rubber that can really contribute.
Right now I'm using Q4 on my forehand and Q3 on my backhand, but since the Q3 needs you to generate the spin yourself, I think using Q4 on both sides would work fine too.
This might be the perfect rubber for anyone who gave up on the 05 for money reasons and got tired of the G1.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Bought this as the third rubber for my daughter (4th grade), who's in her third year playing.
We switched from Vega Europe, which we went through 3 sets of in a year.
The reason we picked this was budget - we're limited to about ¥3,000 per sheet.
Hitting with it myself, the only difference I noticed from Vega Europe was that it felt maybe a touch harder.
Total weight dropped by about 5g, but it felt even lighter than the number suggests.
Watching my daughter's matches, my first impression was that her push mistakes dropped noticeably.
Also, her attacking receives like flicks started going in so consistently it almost felt like she'd suddenly gotten better.
As for durability, with Vega the edges started crumbling and tearing off before a month was up, but so far there's no sign of that happening with this one.
In forehand rallies it seems to lack a bit of power, so we might need to think about that a bit more, but at my daughter's current level, it seems ideal for the backhand.
This taught me the importance of matching equipment to my daughter's growth and development.After switching her blade to an acoustic carbon inner, she stopped losing rallies on power.
It should be plenty until she gets bigger and can generate more power herself.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I bought this so I could be a practice partner for my daughter, since choppers give her trouble in matches.
I put Moristo DF at thin and P4 Soft at extra-thin, which brought the total weight down to a super-light 136g. It took a little while to get used to, but I think it's a really easy-to-use blade dedicated to chopping.
The grip's cross-section is a thin oval, so if you have large hands you might want to wrap something around it.
Given the weight and grip size, I think this suits elementary and middle schoolers who are just starting out as choppers.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

I got mine at 88g, lighter than the maker's stated weight.
Compared to a regular carbon sheet, the dual web is thin, so I wondered "does this actually do anything?" But the high metallic sound, the firmer feel, and the extra distance you get in topspin rallies made it a completely different beast from the "original" Fortius — I was pleasantly surprised.
Also, this might just be down to the rubber, but oddly enough it's easier to kill the ball on stops and blocks than with the "original."
It doesn't affect performance, but the grip construction and finish were a bit lackluster. I think Butterfly is still the best in that regard.
This one lands somewhere between a 7-ply and a carbon blade, and it might be hard to decide whether that's just right or half-baked.
Price included, I'm satisfied, so I plan to keep using it for a while.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I'm a fan of Miu-chan, so I wanted to go with the outer version, but when I borrowed one to try it felt way too stiff and I gave up on it.
I thought maybe it was because it was the P-1, but I got a bit scared and went with the inner instead.
But I think that was the right call.
Maybe because it's thin overall, the ball holds on the blade longer than I expected, blocks have good control, and serves were easy to hit too.
That said, as everyone says, it might lack a bit of power in topspin rallies when you back off from the table, but at my level that's not an issue at all.
It weighed exactly 90g as listed in the catalog, and with a G-1 (max thickness) + Spectrum Blue (thick) + 10mm grip tape, it came to 174g total.
I'd personally prefer the balance a bit more toward the handle, but it's fine as is.
The FL handle felt a touch thin for me — I wear a size 23cm golf glove.
Overall, no complaints — a solid A+!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard
