Inspirit Quattro is here, V2

Yes I know, original title. Anyhow I decided to try out this new rubber from Dawei as well. Liked what I've heard about this rubber so I got myself two sheets, both 2.0mm an both 35 degrees. Of course I got them from cole, he shipped them out the same day I ordered. Great service as usual Cole! They arrived today, took about a week. I'll be testing them out tonight on my good old Avalox bt555. Pictures below.

Just for the record, 999 over the Quattro sponge feels much nicer, much less of a lack of middle gears, and of course preference-wise i like a bit 'o' tack.

What's up with the missing corners and orange sponge?

 Well mine come from an official distributor, and I'm pretty sure the sponge is yellower than the pics above.

 Well I assume he's legit seeing the only reviews reviews of the Quattro on the official Daweii site are the ones taken from his site.

 I might ask him to post in this topic seeing there are pics of Cole's version on here, Cole's input would be good as well, and they can compare versions.

 

The 39deg version I have is faster and slightly harder than F2. It doesn't quite have the same sound and spin yet, but once the rubbers are worn in, I can give a better estimate- I've only used them for about an hour so far.

 The 42deg version is definitely harder than the F2 with a lot more spring, and might be similar to F1

 

those quattro are not fakes, there are different batches dawei came out with... those 35 feel like 39-40

True, but I'm also convinced that there's more difference than just the color, which to me is a blemish on dawei that I fully expect them to correct in the near future.

Very interesting Atomica, but mine sure looks a lot more orange-ish. Anyhows, I knew the Inspirit Quattro rubbers were harder than advertised..but some guy over at my club even stated it would probably even be harder than Hurricane3. Sure didn't play th�t hard if you ask me. But of course, who gives a sh*t about that kind of stuff when the feel is right, which for me definately was the case with IQ. I was surprised how much topspin I could get from slow loop. It's also quite fast, will take some time before I can really handle it well.

 Yeah normal Inspirit has a more orange sponge, and doesn't make a glue 'ping' sound when you hit it when it hasn't been speedglued.

 These Quattro's are definitely different to regular Inspirit.

I have been reading the posts in this thread, whilst driving for the last 2 days, and wanted to reply, but my Blackberry phone wouldn't allow it.

I need to clear a few things up.

The Inspirit Quattro that we ordered from Dawei arrived with Yellow Sponges, The Version that Cole received has orange sponges. I spoke to to the Dawei representative about this and he stated that Cole Complained that his version was to fast so they slowed it down a tad, and at the same time ensured that the sponge hardness stamped on the back was correct. I can confirm 100% that the version that Atomica purchased from me is Genuine.

Also TTman stated that regular inspirit has a yellow sponge, he is also correct, all my inspirits & inspirit Quattro's have yellow sponges, But I can assure you once again that they are different.

When we ordered our Inspirit Quattro's, I specifically ordered 3 versions.

42 degree - fastest
39 degree - My favourite good dwell time, but still fast.
35 degree - Softest, largest speedglue sound, most dwell time, Still fast with speedglue, most Control

The versions that cole received all had the wrong hardness stamped on them, and from what I have read were pretty hard, thus the lack of dwell time.
As loopy stated, their probably are a few fakes around, and the only way to ensure that you get an Original is to Purchase it from Myself in Australia, or one of my Authorized dealers, or Cole in America. Not sure if cole has the softer versions as yet.

I also believe that in the future Dawei will be putting the export quality versions in special packaging. Just to diferentiate the A class from the rest. And if you think that there is no such thing as A class rubbers, have a look at the Butterfly rubbers out of presports.

Oh, and before I forget, and get into trouble, their is also that dealer in Canada. that has them as well.

so are these butterfly rubbers from presports of lesser or better quality 

that hte bty rubbers they sell are old stock and bad cuts, like the edge rubbers of the batches...
