I've used this on my forehand ever since it was my first tacky rubber, and I still love it. The tackiness itself isn't that strong, so I boost the grip with a TSP tacky sheet. Of course spin bites really well on this rubber, but I think what's especially good is the stops, blocks, and counters. Thanks to the tackiness, stops hold their place really well. When you block, its natural lack of bounce shows through and the ball lands cleanly on the table. If you can counter with your own spin on it, it comes in at a moderate, stable speed, which cut down a lot on unforced errors on my end. The sponge doesn't feel as hard as the spec sheet suggests. I'd recommend trying this if you're someone who just keeps looping from close-to-mid distance, or someone who relies heavily on blocks and counters. (Boosting the grip with a tacky sheet makes the character even stronger, which I'd also recommend.)

I borrowed a Fortius and liked the ball-holding feel when I hit with it, and then I found out there was a ver.D with even better distance, so I bought that one. My first impression hitting with it was that the feel was almost identical to the Fortius FT, so I was very satisfied. It has more bounce than a regular 7-ply, but the feel is much closer to wood than carbon, so in that sense I'd recommend it to wood-feel fans who still want more distance. That said, it undeniably falls short on speed compared to a regular outer-carbon blade, but in exchange the ball holds onto the blade longer, so I think it's easier to put spin on it. Since the feel is almost all wood, it's also easy to vary the strength of your shots, so stops and similar techniques aren't hard to do — that's one of the points I like about it.

I was surprised the first time I used it!! I tried it on both forehand and backhand, but personally I think it suits the backhand better. First, the good points — the amount of spin on a loop drive is incredible. The ball feels like it gets lifted right along the direction of your swing, and I think there's really very little loss of energy. Compared to the Q4 from the same Q series, chiquitas and backhand drives fly with a lower arc and more speed. Flat hits also come out really fast, with tremendous destructive power, and there's plenty of distance even hitting from mid-to-far from the table, so I feel like you can play from anywhere. Of course, serves get plenty of spin too.
Hearing all this might make it sound like a super all-around rubber, but of course there are things that make it hard to use. On pushes and stops, the ball comes out lower than expected. At first you're not used to this trajectory, and I think it often ends up in the net. But I think this is something you can fully overcome with practice, so I'd say it's a rubber worth using even with this downside.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I switched my blade to the Ver.D, so while I was at it I decided to try a Mizuno rubber for the first time. Sure enough, it had the full package, spin, control, and speed, and handled everything competently. What really stood out was the speed on topspin drives, I found myself winning points outright more often. That said, since it's a rubber that flies a good distance, you need to be careful that your receives don't float up. Also, I felt the loop drive spin was a little on the low side, so it might suit players who are good at bringing things into a rally from the third ball onward.
