Tibhar 5Q review

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

i prefer 5q over the mx-p. i find it easier to useif (window.EBMessageReceived) {window.EBMessageReceived(decodeURIComponent('undefined'),decodeURIComponent('undefined'));}

5Q on a Tibhar WhiteSword blade is a loopers dream!

Does 5Q suit nittaku violin 5 ply ? 

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.

5q is softer than rak7 and genius but hardee than t64? Not possible

Thanks.. need to make up my mind again. As I feel the speed of rakza 7 is right for me. But the spin of 5Q attract me to it....

Hi Yogi,

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.

havent tried the sigma pro

how is 5Q compare to Sigma Pro...? in spin, speed , control, sponge hardness....
thanks...

So perhaps for a flexible ALL+ blade 1Q would work better? That's harder isn't it?
