2010 Competition time.
« on: January 10, 2010, 09:10:01 AM »
Its been a long awaited competition, but it will be worth the wait.

Up for Grabs is a:
1 x Dawei Inspirit Quattro 2.0mm 35 Degree Black Rubber
1 x Dawei Inspirit Quattro 2.0mm 35 Degree Red Rubber.

Rules:
1. You are allowed to have as many guess's as long as there are 7 other Guess's between your posts. (This is where more members would be Benificial)
2. Only one Guess per Post.
3. There will be no emailing between members for advice - especially Speedplay.
4. You can post questions on other Forums, to ask for help.
5. No Self Editing of Posts. (OK Speedplay) :tongue:
6. No Editing of others Posts (OK Speedplay) :tongue:
7. I'm sure their is a rule 7, so I will have to add it when I figure it out.

Now the question.

I sent a Parcel of goods to Speedplay, What was the weight of the parcel after I had wrapped it with Clear Plastic, but before it was actually wrapped for postage.



I have deliberately edited the weight ( :smiley: :smiley: ).

Clues:
2 sheets of 729 Geospin Tacky
1 Sheet of Andro Roxon 450
1 Sheet of Andro Roxon 330
1 Sheet of Andro HeXer
1 x Dawei Wavestone - Flared - Speedplay I think posted his preffered weight (remember its packaged)
Have I forgotten something :wink: , cant make it easy can I.

This comp will run for 1 Month. So the ending Date will be 10th of Febuary - 2010.

No one is allowed to contact Speedplay to get the answer. Sorry Speedplay.

Crap, another competition I can't enter :angry:

Or, perhaps I should enter it, but wait for the parcel to arrive, weigh it, then make a very precise guess, and 2 days later announce it's arrival? :evil:

No, won't do that, cause I've got no use for 2.0 rubbers, but for the pure fun of it, I will throw away a guess:

615grams is my guess, but remember, this guess is out of competition!

Dawei Wavestone Red Roxon 450/Black Best Anti

 :grin:

Actually, I feel like I'm being rewarded each time I shop from affordable, good prices and always willing to weigh blades to find one in the right weight for me, what else can one ask for?

As for the Inspirit, I have to agree with Rob, nothing strange about them, it is actually a quite nice rubber.

Nothing Strange about Dawei Inspirit Quattro. Its like using a very soft Butterfly Sriver. Just a Touch Heavier.

My first tryout with Inspirit Quattro was actually purchased from Affordable on an N-2 (Thought it waz N-10) wood blade. Spinnier than Sriver FX unglued. Still on the slow side. However, it was what I needed at the time to develop a Fh topspin stroke before moving up in sponge hardness and speed. I might try it out on a KTS (Kim Taek Soo's brand) LEO OFF Wood blade Khoan mailed to me from OZ after he visited me in Korea.

 :evil: The package arrived today, so I'm not going to make a second guess, but I'm going to make a guess that we all have have guessed wrong, as I actually think it is heavier then all of our guesses.

I'll leave it to Rob to give away the right weight when he sees it fit, since I don't have a scale that is accurate enough and I've also opened the parcel now, so I can't weigh it.

From years of ordering stuff, rubbers ~100g in package, blades~200g

Plus/Minus 100g to be safe.

800g is my guess!

I think that is another 7, so lets start it all off again. I can't be bothered to read all of the current guesses, so I hope I don't go for a number which has already been picked.
