    I hit with the Mizuno Q3 at a demo event.
    The special material called Dual Web works like a secret ingredient, letting you drive the ball while still keeping control. Because of that, it feels a bit calmer than pure outer-type special-material blades (like ALC or ZLC), with an ease of use on the short game that's close to a pure wood blade, and it gives you a reassuring feeling of being able to control power and finesse. The spec sheet says the feel is the same as the Fortius FT, but subjectively I felt it was a touch harder, and the "gripping" sensation you get from wood or inner-type blades felt a bit weaker, so that's a point to watch out for if you're switching over.
    Even so, personally I'd recommend it to wood-blade users using 45-47.5° class tension rubbers who want a bit more distance on the ball while keeping as much of that wood feel as possible, or to outer-type blade users who want to control their stops in the short game, and who are fine with a slight drop in drive speed as long as they get more spin.

    I tried the Mizuno Q3 at a demo/trial-hitting session.
    In a word, it's a rubber that transmits your force accurately. Stops over the table don't fly off on their own — actually, since I'd gotten into the habit of holding back a bit because previous rubbers tended to fly, at first my touch was too soft and the ball didn't clear the net. Once I started cutting the ball a bit more myself, I could control it just right. I also liked how well it lets you dissipate force. Even when my form broke down, I could still return the ball where I aimed, and a slightly held-back block would bounce twice on the table — it really transmits force accurately.
    Drives come out with a high arc, and especially with a Fortius Version D blade, the balance between speed and spin is really high. With a wooden blade like Fortius FT, it settles down a bit and leans more toward spin. On the other hand, I think it's hard to control with quite hard blades or blades with a lot of extra bounce, since you can't fully grip the ball. Flat hitting is easy either way, but since it's a hard rubber, I think it's tough for players who can't hit with strong impact. The same goes for drives. Even "strong" doesn't have to mean elite level — if you have somewhat above-average power, or even medium power with decent confidence in your impact, you should be fine (I'm the latter type).
