A review about Gambler Six Shooter?

Can anyone give me a quick review on the gambler six shooter?

how is it compared to sriver?


Thanks

A friend of mine plays it on his Stiga Off CR, but he has it super-heavy glued and together with the heft of the blade it sends the ball really fast; his rubber is pretty heavy and superspinny. I didn't feel any deadness there but then again, it often depends on the blade (not to mention amounts of speed glue etc.)

I've used Six Shooter on various blades : Galaxy K4, LKT Instinct & Instinct+, Gambler Black Diamond, Stiga Optimum Sync and Tibhar Samsonov Premium Contact.

2.2mm Six Shooter worked well on the Tibhar and LKT blades. I thought it was a very good match with the Tibhar Samsonov Premium Contact..

2mm worked well on the Gambler Black Diamond, LKT Instinct blades and the Stiga Optimum sync.

2mm Six Shooter was okay on the Galaxy K4, good for looping 3 foot back from the table, but no so good in the short game because its low throw meant to many nets for my liking.

I think Six Shooter is better matched with wooden blades with medium/high throws..

My advice on Quattro is try the 39%, which I found worked better on both the Michael Maze and Timo Boll Spirit, than the softer 35%.

I had more success with 35% Quattro on wooden blades, like the Petr Korbel and a 1976 Stiga Allround Wood

the six shooter I tried was pretty lively and bouncy unglued!

The only issue that I have with IQ is that there is a small catapult effect which takes some getting used to. For instance, your opponent serves medium/long to your forehand and you attack with FH topspin - goes right over the table - took me a few minutes before I found the right angle and the right hand speed...

I've gotten in some samples of an ultralight version of inspirit quattro. I basically had dawei make the topsheet in 1.5mm thickness. The samples came out around 53g +/-2 measuring uncut squares with plastic on top.

I'm excited about it because I hope it will save me from having to glue so many palio topsheets onto quattro sponges! I won't have it for 2weeks or more though, so there's no sense in mass-emailing me daily to get a status.

Oh, I haven't weighed it - but I got it from Cole so he knows (mine is 1.8, by the way, I just forgot to update the signature... doing it now)

Ok, but on which blade?

JimT wrote: Cole, why do you need 1.5? It seems to me that 1.8 is plenty thin and not heavy. Control is very good - although it sits on my V-6 so it might be less forgiving on some OFF+ blades...

Can�t wait to receive my I.Q. 2.2 in a few days.
One thing I�m thinking about, everybody says the I.Q is very heavy, but how heavy? what compared to sriver or Bryce Speed?

JimT: What other rubbers have you tried to compare with the I.Q?
I�m very interested to see how it is comparing to my current Bryce Speed on fh

On FH in addition to IQ I have tried Tibhar Rapid, regular Inspirit, Bryce FX, Srivers of all shades, DHS H3, Dawei 2008XP, LKT Pro XP, Cream MRS, Mark V.

My DIQ is not too heavy - really it is more about the balance of the blade as a whole than about a couple of grams in your rubber.
