inspirit spinny or not?

hi,

I play max Saviga(same as Inspirit).  With the max sponge I feel nothing as it pertains to spin, but the proof that there is substancial spin is in the shots I hit.  Everything drops on the table even  at quite fast speeds is all I need to see to know to show me that there's a great deal of spin.  If there wasnt a great deal of spin it wouldnt stay on the table.  I could see where someone would think that it doesnt feel like it has any spin because I dont feel it.  I think that may have alot to do with max sponge, but the proof is in the pudding.  When I lay into the ball it stays on the table.  At first it played kinda wierd to me just for that reason, but having stuck with it for a month now.  It's a really consistent rubber for me. 

Probably just blaming their equipment for a loss.

I tried in in 2.2mm with 40 degree sponge.  I was expecting it to play like a euro rubber but it totally felt like a chinese rubber to me, something like RITC tack-speed 2000 with most of the tackiness worn off.  I put a few layers of glue on it to liven the sponge, let it dry flat and then applied it to my off- blade.  Did not play with it speed glued (no dome) Higher throw than most euro rubbers.  PLayed with it one hour, didn't like it - sold it for $5.

is inspirit 42 softer than sriver l d-13 (42)?

Yeah I get the same response from guys at the clubs I play at, Inspirit is louder than my almana sound

When I block a hard shot, it makes a nice sound. Maybe its my racket though.

Why  not?

I just got my new racquet from Cole today - LKT Will Power with black 45 degree Inspirit (max) on FH, and red 42 degree Inspirit (max) on BH.

Previously I was playing with Bryce (FX) PowerSponge.

Well, I can tell you that I had a great deal of trouble serving short backspin with the Bryce (but I got lots of compliments on the amount of backspin I was generating on the long serves). 
This evening at my club, the receives for so many of my short backspin serves (I did *mostly* these) ended up in the net - my opponents just weren't used to that amount of backspin.  With this rubber, it is relatively easy (compared to Bryce) to serve short, and have the ball come back towards the net.

It was not lacking at all in the power department, either.  This rubber has gears!

Using max on both sides, the racquet was a little heavy, but it didn't bother me in the slightest.  Darn, I dinged the edge of it on the table, on its first day.  That's why I'm getting these from Cole from now on - I can get the whole blade + rubbers for less than 2 rubber sheets that I used to buy before.

Oh yeah. I have the saviga sponge on 999t topsheet, and without a doubt it is spinny.  When you take a large swing, it will definately suck the ball into the rubber.  I am playing with 42 degree, and it is way softer than dhs 20 39 deg.  If you are a hitter though, you definately will dislike this rubber.  I am not too sure about slow looping and brush shots right now.  I feel that you still have to have some hitting into the sponge to generate tons of spin.
