happy to receive the tibhar 5Q from Tibhar Germany. I was excited about the 5Q since its supposedly spinnier than its 1Q brother. The rubber comes in a black and red shiny packaging is a $52 usd rubber that is in great quality.  specs: Rubbers: red and black 5Q max Uncut weight: approx 67-68 grams Dimensions: 172x175mm Hardness: the packaging says its medium but i would rate it as closer to being medium hard. its softer than its 1Q brother by 2-3 degrees approx. Glue: elmer's rubber cement Blades used: Tibhar Sigma Sensitec, Texo C7 and Texo Off  The red rubber looks different from 1Q because the 5Q has a deeper color in red unlike 1Q which has a lighter red color similar that of the S1 turbo and Joola Rhyzm.  Strengths: Speed - very fast. its in the same level of speed with the Rakza 7, Acuda S1 (not the turbo) and the Tibhar Aurus. on soft and hard drives the rubber is bouncy. Spin - on serving it is spinner than the 1Q. The rubber grips the ball better. Its not as bouncy as the 1Q so you can spin better with it. On pushing I would rate it as excellent as it gives a low spinny pushes. On loops this rubber is outstanding. The 1Q fell short for my liking because it was more of a counter topspin rubber or a hitting rubber. The 5Q has a more profound arc than the 1Q and the ball buries itself deeper into the sponge than other medium hard rubbers creating a more potential for spin. If other people have found rakza 7 easy to loop with then the 5q is much easier by a small margin. The 5Q is better at close to the table to mid distance looping only. On the backhand, being a major backhand player, the 5Q is excellent on bh looping. Control was easyand doing a late contact on the ball produces a high arc spinny ball. Counter topspin - not as fast as the 1Q is on countering but still offers a lot of speed with more spin.  Average performance: Blocking - blocking is average with this rubber but there are other better blocking rubbers. Smashing - as what I have said this is more of a looping rubber. it seems even with its hard sponge the rubber is average to above average in terms of smashing. also every time i smash with it, the ball sounds like a cracked ball being hit by the racket. Cons: Weight - some players would find the weight at 67-68 grams a bit heavy Distance - players who stay away from the table would need to swing harder. this is a close to the table to mid distance rubber. Conclusion: This is an A+ grade looping rubber in the level of Adidas P7, Andro Hexer HD and Rakza 7 rubbers. It is also a good and cheaper alternative to Tenergy rubbers. No it doesn't feel like a T05 but the speed and spin it produces are very close to it. I would recommend this to players who wanted a spinny but faster rubber on their forehands. Also recommended to players who stay close to the table and attacking mostly using 3rd ball attacks as this rubber is excellent in both serving and spinning. Medium stiff blades are recommended for maintaining enough speed and stiffer blades are better for this rubber if you are an all out attacker  ------------- Independent online TT Product reviewer of XIOM, STIGA, JOOLA, SANWEI, GEWO, AIR, ITC, APEX, YASAKA and ABROS ITTF Level 1 Coaching Course Conductor, ITTF Level 1 Coach |

more like 37-38 degrees. i have tried it again today with a yinhe t-10 blade balsa carbon and its really good. i think its between adidas tenzone and tenzone sf in sponge hardness but with the same amount of spin the tenzone can produce. passive blocking are average to above average ------------- Independent online TT Product reviewer of XIOM, STIGA, JOOLA, SANWEI, GEWO, AIR, ITC, APEX, YASAKA and ABROS ITTF Level 1 Coaching Course Conductor, ITTF Level 1 Coach |

if my distance of playing is far from the table i would choose rakza 9, if its mid distance to close to the table 5Q owns the rakza 9 because of its spin. i really like how it bites the ball when you graze it ------------- Independent online TT Product reviewer of XIOM, STIGA, JOOLA, SANWEI, GEWO, AIR, ITC, APEX, YASAKA and ABROS ITTF Level 1 Coaching Course Conductor, ITTF Level 1 Coach |

Yogi, I love your reviews but u have to use water based glue for the reviews. Forget about the rules - RC just changes the characteristics of the rubber. RC and water based glue never feel quite the same even after a week to me. ------------- puppy412 : Sorry man, I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but I know that more training will make me better, I don't need to come here to figure that out |

it has a funny loud sound. when you hit the ball its like playing a cracked ball, that's how it sounds like. weird thing, when i was using it in a yinhe t10 balsa carbon blade it was very controllable but when i placed it in a 7 ply all wood blade it was too bouncy (7 ply like clippers) ------------- Independent online TT Product reviewer of XIOM, STIGA, JOOLA, SANWEI, GEWO, AIR, ITC, APEX, YASAKA and ABROS ITTF Level 1 Coaching Course Conductor, ITTF Level 1 Coach |

The current gen ESN rubbers like Acuda and Coppa play different with RC than with WBG. AcudaDave pointed this out to me and then I tested it. For example Acuda S3 with WBG has noticeably more spin and less speed using Dian Chi WBG compared to when I used Elmers. I think the solvents in RC react with whatever ESN is using to tune these rubbers. The reason I say "tune" is because these sponges shrink and reverse dome when switching blades (whether you use RC or WBG). ------------- http://bit.ly/vLMhuB" rel="nofollow - - RC1042 .

and i also want to prove to some people who blame the glue for their rubber's forming bubbles after 3-5 days of use because they didnt use wbg. also the shrinking of the rubber can be minimized if you dont glue your rubber immediately and if you dont press your rollers too much on the rubber when you attach it ------------- Independent online TT Product reviewer of XIOM, STIGA, JOOLA, SANWEI, GEWO, AIR, ITC, APEX, YASAKA and ABROS ITTF Level 1 Coaching Course Conductor, ITTF Level 1 Coach |

after 2 weeks of using this rubber i can say its a goo alternative to T05. what i like about it is that its not too fast like the tenzone but offers the same spin. it seems very durable and would last for about 6 months to average players. this would be best for medium hard blades or blades that are not too stiff. works well with blades having koto, limba ad cypress outer plies ------------- Independent online TT Product reviewer of XIOM, STIGA, JOOLA, SANWEI, GEWO, AIR, ITC, APEX, YASAKA and ABROS ITTF Level 1 Coaching Course Conductor, ITTF Level 1 Coach |

Using 5Q on my Tibhar H 3 9 (which I'm using from 15 days or so). Very happy with the 5Q on the backhand. In addition to being a great rubber for backhand (and near to table play), it gives a tremendous underspin that is very deceptive. ------------- Editor, http://www.tabletennisbug.com Facebook - Menas Jagadish Blades- Tibhar H 3 9 Rubbers - Rakza 7 Soft, Tibhar 5Q |

nice! i agree with your findings because the 5Q is really good in doing underspin serves. its like you don't need to do a lot of movements to produce heavy under spin serves making people think that you are serving a no spin serve ------------- Independent online TT Product reviewer of XIOM, STIGA, JOOLA, SANWEI, GEWO, AIR, ITC, APEX, YASAKA and ABROS ITTF Level 1 Coaching Course Conductor, ITTF Level 1 Coach |

Hi Yogi, Can you compare this rubber to Tibhar Genius? Now I'm using the genius but would like a bit more speed. Also how about durability? Genius not that great. I saw on the package, the hardness is softer by 2.5 degree of genius (47.5). Also how about the hardness compare to rakza 7?

rakza 7 and genius regular are both harder than the 5Q. the 5Q is faster than both rubbers though. I say when attacking the spin of the 5Q is amazing. on pushes or serves i think its equal to genius ------------- Independent online TT Product reviewer of XIOM, STIGA, JOOLA, SANWEI, GEWO, AIR, ITC, APEX, YASAKA and ABROS ITTF Level 1 Coaching Course Conductor, ITTF Level 1 Coach |

at last I've played with 5Q and its not what I expected. They say its the softest rubber of the Q family. So I expected a mid soft rubber like aurus soft, rakza7 soft, tenergy 05 fx etc... But its hard. Lets say mid hard like t64. And its really heavy. Its much much heavier than tenergy 05 fx. So: Speed: Its a fast and bouncy rubber like tenergy. But feeling is between tenzone and acuda series. And red sheet of 5Q looks like very much tenzone sf and acuda series. Speed is just a bit slower than tenzone and acuda s1 turbo. but still its a fast one. Spin: Its very very spinny( like tenergy) But somewhat its not that sensitive to incoming spin. Lots of people would like this but I dont. I'm a spin based player and I like to use my opponents spin to create speed and rotation. With 5Q you have to play a bit more active... Throw: Its between t05 and t64. But closer to the t64. So throw angle is a bit flat. Blocking and smashing is much better than t05. Its just not so sensitive to the incoming spin so sometimes if you're a bit lazy than your topspins goes in to the net. Other stuff: Its a heavy rubber. Loud when you block+smash but its not soft. Its much heavier, faster and harder than I expected so I got some issues with the control department. ------------- Nittaku Tenaly Acoustic Inner Carbon Joola Rhyzer Pro 50 & 45 |

Recently, had a short hit with the following rubbers, alternating them when doing a FH to FH and BH to BH hit.... 5Q, P5, Rakza 7 Soft, Rasant. Thus would like to just share my opinion..
Spin on serve (Backspin) : All spinny. Rasant feel a little spinnier...not obvious. My opponent and myself can't really tell the significant differences between the rest.
Speed : Rasant > 5Q, P5 > R7 Soft
Throw (high to low): 5Q/P5, R7 Soft, Rasant
Rasant always go off the table or hit the baseline when using the same stroke..
I've played with T05 and like it very much. 5Q and P5 feel and play like T05.
All rubbers seems to work well for FH except that Rasant is more suitable for mid distance game. All except Rasant is recommended for BH, but thinner sponge, e.g. 1.9 or 2mm.
Amount them, I like P5 most for both FH and BH : ) followed by 5Q.

5Q on a Tibhar WhiteSword blade is a loopers dream!
Seems to be made for each other. Very good control, wicked spin on serves and pushes. Good on passive and active blocks. Very nice in opening loops, specially against underspin, like hot knife on butter he he. The setup makes you think you can loop or counter loop anything!
 .Speed is not the main asset of this setup, the 7 ply Adidas Challenge Speed with 1Q is faster, still 5Q has lots of gears and ample speed.
Precision and lots of spin makes this setup simply awesome. Confidence level is very high on my offensive strokes ( had to be when everything you throw seems to land on the table).
How does 5Q and 1Q compare with other rubbers I have tried, Calibras, Acudas, Baracudas, Tenergys, Bryce, Traction, H3. . . . . . . hands down tops them all.
or maybe I'm just high on my 5Q trip.
Just my thoughts for whatever its worth.
(I definitely need to learn how to post pics for my 5Q & White Sword setup)

i prefer 5q over the mx-p. i find it easier to useif (window.EBMessageReceived) {window.EBMessageReceived(decodeURIComponent('undefined'),decodeURIComponent('undefined'));} ------------- Independent online TT Product reviewer of XIOM, STIGA, JOOLA, SANWEI, GEWO, AIR, ITC, APEX, YASAKA and ABROS ITTF Level 1 Coaching Course Conductor, ITTF Level 1 Coach |

MX-P lasts a bit longer. IN terms of spin, for slow looping i think 5Q is spinnier. For fast and power attacks the mx-p is much better ------------- Independent online TT Product reviewer of XIOM, STIGA, JOOLA, SANWEI, GEWO, AIR, ITC, APEX, YASAKA and ABROS ITTF Level 1 Coaching Course Conductor, ITTF Level 1 Coach |
