Mizuno Q Power, is it good?

[Julzig]

Has anyone tried the Mizuno Q Power and can give their experience with it. I cant find anything valuable, besides some Japanese reviews that dont translate well.
I want to buy the Q Quality for BH and consider Q Power for FH, if its as good as the QQ. This might be the hidden gem I´ve been looking for.
Just heard that controlabilty is horrible, can someone confirm?

I don't know about Q-Power, but I can tell you for sure that Q-Quality is an exceptional rubber!
I've been using it about 2 months now on my BH and I've been amazed by it: Great block, spinny (lifts underspin balls easily), fast but controllable at the same time.
I much prefer it to the Vicats V>11 that I had on my BH.
Q-Quality is a bit similar to G-1 but a bit better in all aspects. I like it so much that I'm considering using it on my FH as well and replace the G-1

I’ve used QQ, Q5 and Q Power. Power is good but I found it very heavy and lacking a little dynamic vs other 55 deg rubbers like C55 or c53 or similar.

Okay, thank you. how is it spin/grip and control wise? I actually want a rubber that isnt overly fast.
Something like Glayzer just a bit more capable perhaps

Thank you! Yeah the QQ is pretty much set for my BH aswell, but im not sure if I should go with it on both sides. Do you play 1.9 or 2.1mm? And what color? I think Zwill said there are differences in hardness between the colors.

Pretty good on all those things but I prefer something like Rakza z. It just didn’t feel great to me on my blades.

I play the red one in 2.1mm. I've reversed and play it on my FH as well for some drills and it's even better than G1.
So, my suggestion is try it on the FH as well, you can't go wrong with this rubber.
Even my clubmates were amazed by it, that are very experienced players.
I recall that Zwill claims that black is a bit harder, but I don't think that the difference will be significant.

Is QQ similar to Stiga Mantra Pro M? Or it is closer to Stiga Mantra Pro H?
@Arkady have I seen you at Dionysos TT club?

i have used qquality for a while, on both fh and bh, gone through a lot of sheets. can confirm that the red is slightly softer. both weighing around 48g cut to blades. its an awesome rubber and have put a lot of club mates on it as well 😅

 

[Julzig]

I have ordered 2 sheets of QQ now. I will tell my thoughts about it aswell once I could play a bit with them.
The QP will have to wait for now then.

QQ has a hardness of 46° so I guess more like Matra Pro M with its 47°

So I've played with Q Quality today and must say its soo easy to play. It isn't as fast as Nexy Etika but a bit more bouncy initially, probably less spin aswell or atleast I need to ajust a bit still to get its poential. But the safety in every stroke is what impresses me. Gives you a lot of confidence. Right now I do struggle with consistently generating spin in serves. I will stick to them for now and see how I feel in a few weeks time.
