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)

6. No Editing of others Posts (OK Speedplay)

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 (

).

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

, 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.

Der_Echte shall go against the grain and say 555 Grams before final packaging.

Crap, another competition I can't enter

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?

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!

shagga · « **Reply #5 on:** January 10, 2010, 02:15:06 PM »

525grams

RebornTTEvnglist · « **Reply #6 on:** January 10, 2010, 02:27:14 PM »

OK, nearly time for JKC to have another guess so it can follow on for others and then me LOL... haha, thinking about my second guess before I even posted my first!!

So my first is 643g!

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

big ears · « **Reply #9 on:** January 10, 2010, 08:03:12 PM »

Speedplay! what's your price?

I'll say 400g.

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.

hey guys.... I only said strange because up until recently I was an EJ virgin!!
Everything is strange to me!! lol

Honey · « **Reply #12 on:** January 10, 2010, 08:51:20 PM »

JKC · « **Reply #13 on:** January 10, 2010, 09:45:23 PM »

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.

shagga · « **Reply #16 on:** January 12, 2010, 03:22:33 PM »

So my next guess will be 470 grams

PF_4 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 12, 2010, 07:28:57 PM »

780 grams

5min · « **Reply #18 on:** January 12, 2010, 08:52:27 PM »

Wow, we have a new Member

. Welcome 5Min, hope you enjoy your stay.

Der Echte · « **Reply #20 on:** January 13, 2010, 01:11:13 AM »

I qualify for a second guess. I go for 570 grams.

Why is everyone all of a sudden guessing under 600-700 grams ?? !!

RebornTTEvnglist · « **Reply #21 on:** January 13, 2010, 02:23:52 AM »

Well its my turn again, although I think Shagga jumped the gun lol. But not my fault, haha!

Second guess is 537g.

speedplay · « **Reply #22 on:** January 13, 2010, 07:25:13 AM »

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.

gekogark1212 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 14, 2010, 11:33:03 AM »

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

Plus/Minus 100g to be safe.

800g is my guess!

JKC · « **Reply #26 on:** January 14, 2010, 08:30:32 PM »

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.

761g

shagga · « **Reply #27 on:** January 19, 2010, 09:40:30 AM »

Who's able to take another guess now?

blue_smartie68 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 19, 2010, 12:13:22 PM »

Me, me, me!!!

ummmm....792

speedplay · « **Reply #29 on:** January 19, 2010, 09:30:51 PM »

I'm wondering when Rob will announce the actual weight of the package so we get a winner for this competition.
