Right now i play with dawei inspirit on fh. I normaly change rubber after about 4-5 weeks. Not because the rubber has started to "die" but more because im afraid that it will die soon. I play about 5 times a week and glue everytime. I normally rub of the glue after about 2 weeks.
How long to you guys think this rubber actually will last? Maybe i change rubber more often than i have to? Maybe i cas easily use the same rubber (in this case inspirit) for 2 months???? Any comments?

every 5 weeks ouch... I would go broke ... hum I play 4-5 times a week and I glue everytime as well... and my rubbers are still fine after 5 weeks... I change them after 2-3 months...I guess it depends on the brand...from what I know chinese rubbers dont last as long as japanese/euro products...

Ive also heard that chinese rubbers last shorter, but ive also heard the other way around! But the inspirit feels more like a euro\jap rouuber even though it happens to be chinese.

It's my experience that the more "high tech" a rubber is, the less durable it becomes. Typically the glue effect rubbers like desto are among the most fragile. Therefore I would expect inspirit and saviga to be less durable than, say, sprungfeder. But so far I haven't had any problems with mine. They do get softer with use, but that just increases the glue feel.

try to play with it for 3 months if you can.
but get some reserve on stock in case it really dies... which it probably won't within that 3 month, it might get a little worn but not that badly unless you glue like a pro. |

speedgluing rubber wears sheets faster. apply and removing it from the blade cause stress to the sponge and sheet, as do the organic solvents and the tension created by gluing. don't think the rubber manufacturers aren't happy about that!
chinese rubber usually lasts LONGER due to thicker topsheets. now glue buildup on some chinese sponges can become a problem, as the sponge gets more and more "resistant" to speed glue. and you have to take good care of the surface if you want it to retain it's tack though - i recommend the saran/water mist method every week with that much play. tensor and other hi-tech rubbers usually wear FASTER due to thinner topsheets. similarly, the topsheet needs to be taken care of well, and speedgluing can wreck rubbers that weren't designed for it (F3, Plasma 380 etc). if gluing gets banned, rubber manufacturers need to be able to have AT LEAST the same revenue stream they get now, so expect high-performance / fast wear to be the norm for many sheets. |
