I switched my forehand from GFT48 (MAX) to Q3 (2.1mm), so here's a review comparing the two.
[Impression of Q3]
The sponge has small, dense bubbles and is hard. The topsheet is on the softer side of firm for something used by top players.
It feels like GFT48 with both the sponge and topsheet made harder.
The feel on impact doesn't feel as hard as you'd expect (given how hard the sponge is), probably because the topsheet is on the softer side.
[Speed]
Both drives and flat hits are just a bit faster than GFT48.
Should be plenty for playing close to mid-distance from the table.
[Spin]
If you graze it thin, it grips a ton. If you hit it thick, you can produce drives with fast initial speed.
For serves, the spin comes out even from a motion that doesn't look like it's spinning much, so my opponents said they had trouble reading it.
If you really cut it, I think it can spin hard.
[Flat hitting]
It's heavily affected by the opponent's spin, making flat hits tricky. (When I tried to hit a ball with a bit of topspin on it flat, it flew upward off the table.)
I think it's better suited to overpowering the opponent's spin with a drive instead.[Overall impression]
My impression is that the Q3 is a step up from the GFT48, and it's a good rubber that solved my issues with lack of spin.
I plan to keep using it for a while.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
