It's been discontinued, but I really loved this rubber, so I hope it makes a comeback someday.
The Q5 has this soft, springy sheet that makes it really easy to feel like you're gripping the ball.
Maybe it's because the company that made it are rubber specialists, but aside from the smell, the sheet had the best lifespan and durability I've tried.
If I had to sum up the feel in one line, it'd be "a Tenergy 05 that you have to generate your own power for."
It doesn't have quite the speed of Tenergy, but the spin is on par or even better, and durability-wise the Q5 lasts way longer.
Considering the value for money too, this was the best of the post-Tenergy era rubbers.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I think every aspect of this rubber's performance sits right in the middle.
The sponge hardness isn't too hard, and it isn't too soft.
Speed isn't too fast, and it isn't too slow.
Spin is easy to generate and comes out decently.
Control is also fairly easy.
Because of this well-rounded performance, I felt it's a rubber that lets the blade's own characteristics shine through as-is — for example, put it on an Innerforce Layer and you can generate solid spin, or put it on a Zhang Jike blade and you can get good speed.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I switched from Hybrid K3, so I'll compare it to K3.
Spin: C53 = K3
Speed: C53 > K3
Sheet strength: C53 < K3The way you need to hit the ball is completely different between K3 and C53.
With K3, if you brush the ball the same way you would with a pure tacky rubber, you get good spin and distance.
With C53, brushing the ball that way seems to reduce the distance a bit.
It performs better when you really grip the ball on the rubber and let the spin carry it.
Because of that, I think the spin on serves and loop drives ends up being quite high.
C53 is recommended for players who really grip the ball on the sheet when hitting.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

This is my review after about 10 months of use.
If I had to describe this blade in one word, it's a blade with the contradictory qualities of "bouncy yet controlled."
Looking at the numbers, despite being an inner blade, because of how thick it is, the bounce isn't all that different from an outer blade like the Zhang Jike ALC (though the Ovtcharov does feel a bit less bouncy).
However, because it's an inner blade, the Ovtcharov clearly generates more spin, and the ball settles onto the table nicely.
Also, my personal favorite part of this blade is the grip.
Opinions will vary, but the Ovtcharov's grip is wide and thick, making it noticeably chunkier than other blades.
I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants to hold onto the grip firmly, or who has larger hands.
Finally, I'd recommend this blade to players using an outer blade who want a bit more grip on the ball, or players using an inner blade who want a bit more bounce.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

The sponge hardness is listed as 52.5 degrees, but it doesn't feel that hard.
I'd highly recommend it to players with strong impact who can really sink the ball into it.It grips the ball well for spin, and since it doesn't fly too far, the consistency is outstanding.
On top of that, the sheet is strong, so you don't lose out to your opponent's spin and can easily return spin of your own.There's no technique in particular that's hard to do with this, so I'd just be happy if supply became more plentiful.
