Using 2.1mm on the forehand side of a Chinese penhold. Comparing it with the other rubbers in the Q series too...
First, the general tendency is blazing speed with a flat trajectory. Compared to the fairly high arcing trajectory of the Q4 and Q5, this one is a low, piercing ball.
The spin performance is quite high. Rather than a type where the ball sinks into the sponge, I feel like you can pull out a huge amount of spin by relying on the sheet with a brushing stroke.
It also feels really good on flat hits and blocks. In particular, the one flaw the Q4 has — the ball tending to fly upward on its own — is much weaker here, and it feels more like you're the one controlling it.
One thing to watch out for is that, like the rest of the Q series, pushes and stops tend to come out oddly low.
Overall, I think it's a very distinctive rubber suited to players looking for finishing power. A lot of people say this rubber suits the backhand, but I feel like that's almost a waste on the backhand. Personally, I think it suits the forehand of a penhold looper, whose blade angle tends to stand more upright.
Within the Q series, the Q4 is also quite distinctive, but for me the Q3 lets me hit the most intense loop drives, so it's my favorite.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I'm using the 2.1mm version on the forehand side of a Chinese-penhold blade. Comparing it with the other rubbers in the Q series…
The tendency is a very high arcing trajectory — noticeably higher than the Q3. But when you meet the ball flat, it flies straight, which feels close to a Chinese/tacky rubber.
The ball comes off high, so drives feel incredibly stable. Compared to the other Q-series rubbers, this might be the slowest in terms of drive speed, but it has the most stable drives of the bunch. The one flaw is that, because it flies high, it's an easy target for counters.
The only real downside is that blocks and flicks have this "boing" kind of springy feel to them. Blocks and flicks feel a bit odd because of it.
Overall, this is a drive-dedicated rubber I'd recommend for a full-on drive-heavy style. If you want to keep attacking with drives non-stop, this is the one for you.
If you want to play a distinctive style within the Q series, I'd say either this or the Q3, but the Q4 is the safer choice.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Used thick, on the reverse side of a penhold.
Compared to a tension rubber, the bounce is basically nonexistent, though it obviously flies more than an unprocessed Chinese tacky rubber. But since it's soft, there's a reassuring feeling that it sinks in and pushes forward solidly even without swinging with full force.
Now here's the important part: in today's plastic ball era, dominated by spin-oriented tension rubbers and pre-tacky rubbers, Mark V feels critically lacking in spin more than anything else — but this Mark V XS, being the only lightly-tacky rubber in the Mark V lineup, manages to secure a decent amount of spin.
I think this rubber's niche lies in the stability and control of extended blocks or drives that make use of its softness and light tackiness, as well as the knuckleball effect unique to tacky rubbers.
Could I recommend it to other people? Not really — but among the Mark V lineup, this should be the one best suited to the current era.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I'll compare it to similar tacky tension rubbers (Xiang Long, Genesis 2).
First off, compared to those two, this one doesn't fly much. About on par with a high-elasticity sponge, I'd say.
In terms of spin, on the tacky-Chinese-rubber scale of only slightly tacky: Xiang Long > Genesis 2 ≥ VJC ≥ Genesis.
The price is about average.
It's definitely not for intermediate-to-advanced players. If you're intermediate or above, I think there are better options out there.
Put kindly, I'd say it's for people who are new to tacky rubbers. But if you've been using tension rubbers, I think you'll be unhappy with the bounce, so switching over from tension would be pretty tough.
So I'd say this is for people who've been using high-elasticity rubbers up to now and want to move into tacky tension rubbers.
That said, the hardness is firmer than expected, so compared to something like Genesis 2 Spin S or Genesis S, it's tough to use without enough power.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

For a short pips rubber, it gets good spin, doesn't slip much, and the speed is pretty decent. That all sounds great, but honestly, isn't this basically just an inverted rubber? Looking at it as an inverted rubber that's a bit harder to spin and a bit slippery, it's not that great a rubber — though that's just my personal opinion.
Even when you use short-pips-specific strokes, the ball often flies off like it would off inverted rubber.
I've seen people on this review site recommending this as a switch from inverted rubber, but I really think you should avoid that. It just ends up being a watered-down inverted rubber.
I think it can be used well by advanced short pips players though.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
