Material
GEWO Force Series – Dynamics, precision, innovation The success story continues! It all started in 2011 with Force ARC Off and the story is now contin-ued with the new GEWO Force series. New compositions and materials were combined to meet the requirements of modern high-performance table tennis. The composition of the popular Force ARC Off remains unchanged while the blade’s balance has been adapted to the demands made on state-of-the art table tennis blades. When it comes to hardness, precision and feeling, our Ex-Force PBO-PC Off blade simply has no equal. Unlike in the In-Force variant, the synthetic fibre of Ex-Force PBO-PC Off is not placed on the core ply but on the fine Limba outer ply which makes this blade a true weapon of offence. Hard topspins and counter-spins come easy thanks to the new PBO-PC fibre, while the special gluing technique gives the whole blade composition all the control you need even if combined with hard rubbers. A perfect combination of spin, feeling and speed for variable, point-winning attacking. Be the dominator with GEWO Ex-Force PBO-PC Off! Model Specification Composition: Limba – PBO-Power-Carbon – Limba – Ayous – Limba – PBO-Power-Carbon - Limba Weight: 83 – 86 g
GEWO Nexxus SuperSelect - The Pro Player rubbers meeting even the highest requirements. Due to the highly complex production process, these rubbers were only available to the GEWO top contract players until now! SuperSelect stands for carefully selected processing quality, constant playing features and characteristics, and lasting speed and spin ratings. A special gluing and production method ensures that our SuperSelect rubbers meet the high demands by professional players like Quadri Aruna (ranked top 15 in the world) and Alvaro Robles, runner-up world champion in men’s double. Players who can handle the speed and excellent energy transfer will enjoy this new attacking weapon which leaves nothing to be desired. High-speed, spin-loaded attacking and counterattacking will come easy and almost without effort thanks to the two technology innovations Super Select Transmission Tec (SSTT) and Optimized Trajectory Tec (OTT) which form the basis of GEWO’s new offensive masterpieces. GEWO’s new ProPlayer level high-end rubber for players on their way to the top! GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 53 SuperSelect Warning! High-performance zone – Ready to take the next step? The ultimate choice for your offensive play. Maximum dynamics and speed ratings close to the feasible limit will help you play to your full potential. Workmanship and performance in Select quality. As the first GEWO rubber featuring the combination of our SSTT and OTT technologies, GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 53 SuperSelect is more elastic and flexible than you would expect considering the enormous hardness of its sponge. However, it still provides for ultimate speed, optimum ball contact and maximum spin. Ideal for close-to-the-table power play relying on short and explosive arm action. Player type / features: For attackers aiming at winning quick points using all modern, offensive stroke techniques Maximum catapult, spin and ultimate speed for a rubber of the hard sponge segment Uncompromising OFF power and dynamics for table tennis on Pro Player level Optimized Trajectory Tec (OTT) The new GEWO Nexxus SuperSelect rubbers are designed to meet even the highest requirements as regards acceleration and stability. Our goal was to develop a more compact sponge texture making the rubber more dynamic and elastic without increasing its weight. The new Optimized Trajectory Tec (OTT) is the innovative outcome of this development. More elastic air cells in the medium-pore sponge (SuperSelect Sponge Cells) provide for a flexible and dynamic feel despite the hardness and save weight at the same time. As a result, a higher density is reached in the sponge, which not only yields more spin and dynamics but also provides for a longer ball trajectory. Optimized Trajectory Tec (OTT) is the key for state-of-the art, high-performance table tennis in combination with hard and dynamic sponges. Super Select Transmission Tec (SSTT) Our brand-new Super Select Transmission Tec system (SSTT) stands for optimum transfer of spin and speed onto the ball. The new surface properties enable easy blocking and counterattacking of spin-loaded topspins with a flat ball trajectory avoiding unforced errors. Thanks to the special rubber mixture which guarantees a longer dwell time of the ball, your own topspin attacks still come easy and will present a tough challenge for many of your opponents. DGC40+ 2.0 DGC40+ 2.0 stands for consistent, reliable coupling upon ball contact, and the grippy surface prevents “slipping” of the ball. The introduction of the latest ball generation (e.g. GEWO Select Pro 40+ ***) called for a further development and adaptation of rubber top sheets resulting in the DGC40+ “Dynamic-Grip-Concept” 2.0. The top sheet was specially developed for and adjusted to the requirements of the latest ball generations. If you don’t go forward, you go backwards! Elastic Rubber The EL rubber (Elastic Rubber), despite its compactness provides for great ball contact feedback and a unique feel. All rubbers of this series are made for spin. The pimple heads in the rubber are arranged at a smaller distance from one another, and they are slightly thicker than in EL rubbers. When it comes to generating spin, the DGC40+ 2.0 top sheet unfolds its true strength (highly reliable coupling and maximum spin), as it provides for a slightly larger contact area upon ball contact. Enjoy a new experience!
To break the rules, you must first master them! GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 53 Hard The best choice: The rubber series for top players and players enjoying uncompromising power rubbers. Commitment to continuous improvement, excellent performance and outstanding quality have always be core values of the GEWO tradition. Most players have already adjusted to the new ABS balls successfully and made the necessary changes in their techniques. At the beginning of this adjustment, players preferred rubbers with rather soft top sheets (for more ball rotation and speed), but now top-level players more and more use hard to very hard rubbers which perform at their best in close-to-the-table power play. In order to offer the perfect solution on this level, too, GEWO designers and world-class players as well as ambitioned players of all levels teamed up in countless test series to find the perfect rubbers meeting the specific requirements of the individual players. The goal was to find the ideal combination of maximum speed, spin and feeling without losing the indispensable level of control required in table tennis. With the new Nexxus Hard rubbers, GEWO mastered this high-wire act perfectly. With the Nexxus Hard series, we proudly present a range of new and very interesting rubber alternatives to all players looking for extra performance. Faster and harder – GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 53 Hard! The youngest and hardest member of the Nexxus family is also the fastest rubber in the globally successful Nexxus series. To activate the full power of this rubber, players need reliable technique plus quick and dynamic arm movement. Players mastering this rubber will benefit from maximum speed and even more spin potential. With the new ABS balls, these are just the parameters which are indispensable for modern attackers. Enjoy the linear catapult effect of the hard EL sponge and maximum spin thanks to the combination with DGC40+ surface technology. Player type / features: An absolute power pack for uncompromising, close-to-the-table attacking Ideal for players using short and fast arm movements who need maximum speed for their play For hardworking players with good technique. Maximum power for perfect acceleration of the ball nexxTT / N.E.P (Nano.Elastic.Plus) / Maxximum.Power.Play. Due to permanent product adjustments, e.g. the introduction of the new ABS balls, rubbers had to be adjusted accordingly to these trends. The latest ball generation produces less rotation and speed. To compensate for this loss in rotation and speed, you have two options: Adjust your technique or your material. GEWO aims at supporting the necessary physical adjustments with innovative solution approaches: A thin, high-grip top sheet (nexxTT) compensating the loss in speed and rotation with its inherent dynamics and higher tension (N.E.P.). Plus, a medium-pore, dynamic sponge which, depending on the performance variant chosen (XT -> speed; EL -> spin), makes the Nexxus Pro Series a real “Energy Monster”, especially the maXXimum thickness ( 2,2mm/2,3 mm = Maxximum.Power.Play.). DGC40+ 2.0 One of the factors of success of the GEWO HYPE EL / XT / KR rubbers was the innovative DGC40+ top sheet technology. DGC40+ stands for constant, reliable coupling upon ball contact, and the grippy surface prevents “slipping” of the ball. The introduction of the latest ball generation (e.g. GEWO Select Pro 40+ ***), however, also calls for a further development and adaptation of the top sheets. The result: DGC40+ "Dynamic-Grip-Concept“ 2.0. The top sheet was specially developed for and adjusted to the requirements of the latest ball generations. If you don’t go forward, you go backwards! FlexTech The flexible sponge/rubber design FLEX-TECH (XT) which was specially developed for GEWO, produces impressive speed. Rubbers from the XT series, combined with the DGC40+ 2.0 top sheet, transform the speed of your opponent's topspins into energy and release this energy again in your own stroke when the ball leaves your bat. The pimple heads in the rubber are arranged at a greater distance from one another, and they are slightly thinner than in EL rubbers. These rubbers primarily focus on speed. Elastic Rubber The EL rubber (Elastic Rubber), despite its compactness provides for great ball contact feedback and a unique feel. All rubbers of this series are made for spin. The pimple heads in the rubber are arranged at a smaller distance from one another, and they are slightly thicker than in XT rubbers.
