    I put the max-thickness version on my Nittaku Choutokusen A penhold blade. I was torn between thick and max thickness, but decided on max thickness since I'm using it on a single-ply blade. At the Q5 demo event, the explanation was that because the grip is so good, driving the same way you normally would sends the ball too high and causes overshoot misses. So the advice was that driving with the racket angled flatter, brushing the ball, makes it go in easily. When I hit with it, it felt soft. In practice, when driving, a faster drive was actually easier to hit than a loop drive — I've always been weak on drives, but on long serves that go out past the table on the return, when I swung all the way through on the drive, I was surprised at how easily I could return it fast and low. Stop returns are easy too, and serves get plenty of spin. Smashes go in well too. I haven't used the Q4 so I can't compare it to that, but this is a really good rubber, and I plan to buy it again.
