Description of Dawei Inspirit Quattro Ultralight 40

This is the 40° version of the Dawei Inspirit Quattro Ultralight. The topsheet is thinner to reduce the weight and let the ball sink in deeper for more mechanical spin.

Reviews of the Dawei Inspirit Quattro Ultralight 40

Review Trottski said this on May 23, 2008:

A quality sheet of rubber (very thin) with the Speed Glue Effect Quattro sponge. The speed was good but because of the sponge the ball didn't seem to cling to the virtually non tacky top sheet enough to get any reasonable amount of spin. Nice quality product at a very good price, but not for my game.
Review BobTheBuilder said this on June 11, 2008:

Honestly, the best bang for your buck. You can't really go wrong with this rubber, I have this on both sides on a BTY Chuan blade and was surprised by the speed of the thing. Control was fairly good but creating spins for serves and short balls was not as great (mind you, i played with an H3 prior to this). Rubber starts off a tad tacky and in my case the red moreso than the black, but tackiness goes away. A definite thumbs up for dawei for making this.
Review Hefner said this on October 17, 2008:

Great rubber!
I always played with sriver el in bh but tried this one and not going back!

This is in my opinion one of the best chinese rubber around. Great speed and control! The ultra light version of Inspirit Quattro are far better than the regular version.

If you want a solid rubber you should try this one!

It works even better with Speed Optimizer one (tuning), adds up more speed and spin!

I heard a lot of hype about this rubber before I decided to buy it. I am currently using this as a FH rubber on a Galaxy De-1 Blade with Milky Way Neptune OX LP on the backhand. My common setup is a Gambler Outlaw 2.2mm on a Hao Shuai Carbon Blade. I will try and compare this rubber to the Outlaw.

Rubber: Very nice looking rubber of the best quality for a Chinese company. Rubber has a slight tack very European, maybe a little more than the Outlaw. I have it in RED with MAX Sponge on it. I have it in the Quattro sponge which is rated at 40deg and feels pretty close maybe 38-39. The blade I am using had a 7 ply structure with 3 layer of only Arylate (no Carbon) in between, which makes it very stable and kind of slow in a good way.

Serves/Chopping/Pushing: Have been getting some good spinney serves just hope that it stays with the factory tack and does not wear off. Chopping is a big part of my game and it was very controlled and had heavy backspin if I got the motion right. Pushing with this rubber was phenomenal and heavily loaded up on spin. Seemed to trouble my opponents more than the Outlaw. But the stable blade could have been contributing to this too.

Looping/Counterlooping: I do not brush loop as much as I would like to, but when I did try on some serves it did carry heavy topspin. However a few balls did seem to go long, could be because of the Quattro sponge. Now for Loop Driving it was amazing and really loaded up on spin and speed. Counter-looping is what I love to do and it was a MONSTER. A lot of guys were amazed at the speed at which the ball came back and gave them virtually no chance to receive it.

Hitting/Flipping/Blocking: I don't block a lot as my instinct is to counter, but did not trouble me too much. For flipping it was very effective, but when the ball carried a lot of spin I was getting uncomfortable. Flat hitting and smashing is pretty much 70% of my game. I have a very fast smash and this rubber felt like it was meant for it. Inspite of the slower blade my smashes were terminal most of the time and I think I got back probably 1 return out of 50. The icing on the cake was that amazing "Click" when you go for that mid-distance smashes or even counter-loops. The blade being stable probably increased my efficiency from 60% to maybe 85%.

To summarize this seems to be my new setup until something goes horribly wrong. Would recommend to any power looper, counter looper and hitter (assuming you already use inverted). And for a price tag of $16 you virtually cannot get anything better. Great product from Dawei.
Review Timo said this on August 18, 2009:

Good on FH or BH. Good blocking rubber, has speed when hitting. Pushes consistently and has good spin.
Review Joel said this on August 26, 2009:

If your game is speed then try this one out, it is very fast. The sponge has a built in speed glue effect which certainly seems to give it that extra kick. Of course it doesn't generate a ton of spin, but its still pretty decent on a loop. Its not for me as I prefer to have a little slower and more tacky rubbers, but its great as an all round rubber when you want something that is very fast.
Review Ted Bratton said this on January 20, 2010:

very fast with a loud click. pretty spinny, most tackiness leaves in the first week but the spin never does. highly grippy. decent control, decent blocks. weight is medium, heavier than others rate. hardness is medium, i HIGHLY recommend the 35 2.0 for bh. 40 is perfect for fh, i surely would not go to 42. though i dont use this on fh anymore, it is a wonderful euro-loop fh rubber in 40. lasts a very long time.

if youre starting you can NOT do better. this is $16 a sheet from coles tt and compares favorably to every $35 rubber in its class. if youre just starting out and you choose this rubber, i recommend a 5 ply wood blade like the stiga offensive classic for two winged looping. a stiff 7 ply wood or tbs-esque blade will be fast with this rubber and you will miss the table a frustrating amount. good luck, you hit the jackpot with this one.
Review balbertsen said this on January 24, 2010:

I recently purchased a Galaxy W-6 and have this rubber on both sides.

The speed to control ratio is very good. I found the throw angle to be medium.

Rubber makes a loud clicking noise when I make solid contact with the ball.

Overall, I am very pleased with this rubber and I am glad that I went with the Reg sponge instead of the SV.
Review Robert said this on August 20, 2010:

I like this rubber and definelty will continue to use it. Does anyone know why the Chinese rubber has Japan under its logo?
Review Woo said this on December 27, 2010:

Nice, well-balanced rubber.

Very good for pushing, serving, looping and chopping, tremendous control.

Not good for smashes and flathits.

I use it on bh in 2,0.
Review DOMINATE98 said this on February 20, 2011:

This is one of the best, most suprizing rubbers I've ever tried! It was recommended to be by a member on the Dttw site, and I was speachless. It is insanely controlled for having above average speed. It does just about everything, but let's not get too crazy. It is very spinny, speedy, and an amazing looping rubber! The farther you get back from the table is where this rubber slows down due to the dwell on the ball. So close to about 8ft will be no problem, but 10+ and you will otice performance drop. If you are a close to the table-mid distance person, just get this, you can't go wrong. I've compared several others to find this be best in its price range along with gambler outlaw w/2.15 lavender sponge. I have even put this up against Acuda S2 donic and it is so close other that the away table game. For the price... outstanding!
Review RyKnocks said this on June 2, 2011:

This is the first rubber I used since coming back to TT after 5+ year layoff. I wanted something that gave good speed but was easy to control. That's exactly what I got from this rubber. It's not the greatest in every aspect, just does everything really well. After a few sessions, I found that I need something with a bit more kick. If you're a beginner, this is a perfect and inexpensive way to get into higher performance equipment. No need to spend $30-$45 on Mark V or Sriver if that's what you've been considering.
Review Spinner999 said this on August 2, 2011:

A verry good rubber for BH-drive and push. Have some good spin in chopping and you can get some really nice spinny serves with it. Verry good price it is as good or even better than 30$ rubbers.
Review HaplessHero said this on September 26, 2011:

This rubber is a little bit odd. It's supposed to be a Euro-style rubber from a Chinese company, and that it is in some respects, but I've been playing on it for a while now and it feels oddly hollow or dead, and has always. It certainly doesn't have the liveliness of actual German-made rubbers that I've used like Tibhar Sinus Sound or Palio Macro ERA.

I started to get frustrated with this rubber after a while on my BH so I decided to swap it out. But it's not ALL bad. It certainly is loud and clicky, and rather fast, despite the deadness, which might be for lack of spin. I certainly find it hard to do anything other than flat hit with this rubber.

Perhaps it is ideal for a beginner, on a slower all-wood blade with a 2.0 or thinner sponge. But on my Galaxy Kevlar/Carbon K-5 blade, it just lacks something which I hope to make up for as I search for a new rubber.
Review Anonymous said this on October 22, 2011:

Not a fast rubber by today's standards (no tensor, no speed glue effect, no tunning, ...) but still "livelier" and faster than much more expensive classics like Yasaka Mark V.

Great for developing and control players. Spin is not as strong as with chinese tacky rubbers but that is a good thing for me (rubber is less sensitive to incoming spin, more controllable, I can return serves easier). Still, very capable of imparting decent topspin which is very effective when combined with good placement.

If you like to finish the rally on the third ball or to serve with strong spin I don't think you will like this rubber.

If you are used to fast modern rubbers (stiga boost, tenergy, haifu bluewhale,...) you will find this rubber disappointing.

Coming from cheap chinese tacky rubbers, I like this rubber very much because I find it very controllable and predictable even after months of frequent use. It ages well, uniformly.

I use this rubber on a wood allround blade. The rubber felt unexpectedly much faster on an off- blade, but in a way I didn't particularly like (I had problems landing the ball on the table after looping). That may have been my fault.

Flat hitting and blocking works well. Short game is obviously very good. Pushing is so so (obviously the chinese tacky rubbers where better at this).

It is not "ultralight", it is average weight. I can hardly tell the difference in weight and behaviour between the "Dawei Inspirit 38 degress" and the "Dawei Inspirit Quattro Ultralight 40 degrees" on my blade, so if you want to save some money you may give the normal Dawei Inspirit a go (the actual rubber looks identical, no different markings on them). I have never tried the "Dawei Quattro"

To sum up, try this rubber if you want a rubber you can totally forget about when you play and if you enjoy playing long-ish rallies safely with topspin and control until you get a chance to whack the ball.
