I use this on the reverse side of my penhold, in max thickness.
Both the sheet and sponge are soft, and it doesn't really feel like a typical Chinese tacky rubber, but that odd, mushy feel off the ball is pure tacky rubber all the same.
It doesn't produce much speed, but even a desperate block or a meaty hit will naturally arc and land on the table by itself. It also bounces oddly and then carries afterward.
The way it holds onto the ball while blocking is amazing.
Given these traits, I'd say it's less a forehand rubber and more one for a player who wants a stable backhand.
That said, as I mentioned, the feel off the ball is mushy and not for everyone. It reminds me a bit of the feel from long ago, when people would apply a thin coat of speed glue to Tackiness C. There isn't much satisfaction in the feel.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

Using 2.1mm on the forehand of a Chinese penhold. Comparing it with the other Q-series rubbers as I go...
As a trend, true to the marketing line (?) of aiming to be the "post-Tenergy 05," it has a fairly automatic-feeling arcing trajectory - even flat hits come out with a decent arc. Even with a fairly closed racket angle.
Spin performance isn't bad either.
What stands out to me is the bounce(?) and softness. The sponge hardness rating is the same, but it definitely feels like the softest in the Q series. As for bounce, I'd rank it Q3≧Q4>Q5. Because of the arc, I feel it's easier to use around mid-distance than Q3...
Overall, it's easy to use, but maybe it lost some of its distinct character? It handles everything competently but I don't feel anything that particularly stands out. It's crowd-pleasing, but in chasing Tenergy it somehow ended up closer to a German-style rubber. Within the Q series, I'd say it suits players aiming for a stability-focused playing style. Though honestly, at that point it might not be all that different from other high-end rubbers.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I used it in a blind test.
Honestly I couldn't tell much difference in ball power, but I thought the ball's launch direction and trajectory were completely different from other rubbers.
Even on drives against topspin, I was surprised that without even trying, the trajectory went upward and stayed on the table without going long.
Drives against backspin lifted the ball up as a matter of course.
It's too expensive for me to afford, so I was skeptical whether the performance really matches the price, but this is impressive.
That said, I think it's a rubber that's very different from Tenergy 05.
I personally had a better impression of things like Fastarc than Tenergy 05, so users who are used to German-made rubbers might prefer this one.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Used it as thick, on the backhand of a penhold blade. The feel reminded me of a typical high-elasticity rubber, kind of like TSP's Ryze. I couldn't wait for the Stiff version to come out so I bought this one.
The speed bounces fairly well but is about what you'd expect from a high-elasticity rubber, and the spin is the same.
Up to this point it felt like an ordinary high-elasticity rubber, and I was thinking, "was there really a point releasing this now?" - but hitting topspin drives changed my impression quite a bit.
The ball goes strangely high, and at first I kept over-hitting. It doesn't really give the impression of great grip on the ball, but even when I close the racket face firmly and hit, the ball still lands on the table. The spin isn't amazing either. It's a strange feeling somehow.
I think it would be recommended for beginners who want to practice their topspin drive. That said, the feel for flat hitting isn't great. I won't know for sure until the Stiff version comes out, but I imagine it'll end up being like an entry-level version of the Stiff.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Medium-thick, used on the backside of a penhold blade.
Pros
- Super light - only 35g after cutting
- Good balance of spin and bounce, so control is good
- Nice feel for meaty shots, easy to do things like blocking
Cons
- The topsheet is soft, so grazing topspin drives are hard (at least at my level)
- The ball flies off on its own, so the short game, especially the stop, might be tricky (haven't really tested this)
- Spin is nothing special, about on par with a normal speed-oriented tension rubber
- Bounce might not be that impressive either compared to speed rubbers like Bryce Speed
- It's cheap and not bad value at all, but since the same brand has the Mantra at top-tier value and other brands have low-cost quality rubbers like Hexer and GTT, it's hard to make it your first choiceI switched to this rubber in a hurry because of weight issues this time, and since I only really block, chiquita, and drive on my backhand, it turned out to be way better than I expected. I haven't tried push or stop with it, but I think it could be a good first rubber for women or kids without much power.
Also, for someone like me who struggles with the total weight of a penhold looper with rubber on both sides, it could work as a stopgap fix.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
