Mizuno Q Quality a cheap and performant tensor that matches Tenergy 05 at half price

[Wrighty67]

Got my two sheets today - amazing service from TT Japan - 6 working days + a weekend and it's in the UK with no issues at all. I will be using them again for sure.

Interesting that weight uncut for black is 71g and red is 66g so a difference I did not expect.

Report to follow once I have tried it..

I had a similar weight difference between the two rubbers. Red is a bit softer in my opinion.

Does it seem that the weight difference comes just from the topsheet? I have two sheets of MX-S, one red one black both max, I haven't weighed them but the sponge on the black one is denser and visibly less porous than red, and the red one is a bit more dynamic.

That was my thinking too - I am interested to see if they play differently as a result (as one would expect them too)

So I’ve played with QQ on both sides for about 8h over two days at a camp, so first/early impressions. It’s on a Bill alc (sane as my Hammond is on)

It feels great, but less dynamic and slower than Z2. It’s softer for sure and feels a tad more controlled. I’m going to try my original set up with Z2 tomorrow for camp day 3 and try to evaluate further..

I also got two sheets, red and black, but they are exactly the same weight.

i think it is significant slowlier than Z2. most of mizuno rubbers are so safe and durable

Q quality is definitely slower than Z2 but Its not slow - I feel it‘s quite similar in feel and speed to Tibhar MK Hybrid. On my Boll ALC QQ feels safe as you say and I am probably a little bit more consistent than with Z2.

I have a sheet of Q5 coming which I am interested to try on FH.

A further report back on the Q quality after a few solid weeks of playing both practice drills and matches. In short, I like it very much - it's no doubt slower and less dynanic than Z2 or Tenergy, but is commensurately easier to control and certainly does not lack in speed or spin. It does feel a little like MK hybrid but a little faster.

I find it very good for looping and has very high spin levels and works really well on my Boll ALC.

I wouldn't rule out using Z2 on one side and QQ on the other but to be honest not sure which on which side yet.

I have another set of QQ on it's way and also a sheet of Q5 as I am keen to try this on FH side.

Good to know, thx - I just received an order so a shame I missed it as I am keen to try it.

Hey all

I am keen to know if anyone has tried Q power yet?

I have found QQ solid but a bit uninspiring and have reverted to Z2 on BH and Donic Bluestar A1 on FH (52.5) so was keen to see if Q Power might be a good FH rubber.

I have just put my sheet of 1.9 Q5 on my Boll Spirit to try - keen to see how that plays compared to QQ.
