GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 53 SuperSelect – High Performance at Pro Player Level GEWO Nexxus SuperSelect – the Pro Player rubbers designed to meet even the highest requirements. Due to the highly complex production process, these rubbers were previously only available to GEWO's top contract players! SuperSelect stands for carefully selected processing quality, consistent playing characteristics over a long period of time, and outstanding speed and spin ratings. A special gluing and production method ensures that our SuperSelect rubbers meet the high demands of professional players such as Quadri Aruna and Alvaro Robles, runner-up world champion in men's doubles, and withstand the toughest competition conditions. Players who can handle the speed and excellent energy transfer will enjoy a new attacking weapon that leaves nothing to be desired. High-speed, spin-loaded topspins and counter-topspins come easily and require less effort. This is made possible by the combination of two innovative technologies: Super Select Transmission Tec (SSTT) and Optimized Trajectory Tec (OTT), united in GEWO's new offensive masterpieces. GEWO's new high-performance rubber at Pro Player level – for everyone looking to follow in the footsteps of world-class athletes! GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 53 SuperSelect Warning! High-performance zone – ready to take the next step? The uncompromising power variant for your offensive game. Maximum dynamics and speed close to the feasible limit will help you unlock your full potential. Select quality in both workmanship and performance. As the first GEWO rubber to feature the combination of SSTT and OTT technologies, the GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 53 SuperSelect feels more elastic and flexible than you might expect considering the exceptional hardness of its sponge. At the same time, it delivers maximum speed, optimum ball contact and outstanding spin. Ideal for close-to-the-table power play with short and explosive arm movements. Player type / features: For attackers aiming to win points quickly using all modern offensive stroke techniques Maximum catapult, spin and outstanding speed for a rubber in the hard sponge segment Uncompromising offensive power and dynamics for table tennis at Pro Player level Optimized Trajectory Tec (OTT) The new GEWO Nexxus SuperSelect rubbers are designed to meet even the highest requirements in terms of acceleration and stability. Our goal was to develop a more compact sponge structure that makes the rubber more dynamic and elastic without increasing its weight. The new Optimized Trajectory Tec (OTT) is the innovative result of this development. More elastic air cells in the medium-pore sponge (SuperSelect Sponge Cells) provide a flexible and dynamic feel despite the hardness while reducing weight at the same time. As a result, a higher density can be achieved in the sponge, providing not only more spin and dynamics but also a longer ball trajectory. Optimized Trajectory Tec (OTT) is the key to 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 to the ball. The new surface properties enable easy blocking and counterattacking of spin-loaded topspins without the ball bouncing too high off the racket and causing unnecessary errors. Thanks to the special rubber compound, which provides a longer dwell time of the ball on the racket, your own spin-loaded attacking strokes still come easily and can present a major challenge for your opponents. DGC40+ 2.0 DGC40+ 2.0 stands for consistent, reliable coupling upon ball contact, while the grippy surface prevents the ball from “slipping”. The introduction of the latest ball generation (e.g. GEWO Select Pro 40+ ***) called for further development and adaptation of the rubber top sheets, resulting in 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 sponge (Elastic Rubber), despite its compactness, provides excellent ball contact feedback and a unique feel. All rubbers in this series are designed for spin. The pimple heads in the rubber are arranged closer together and support the spin-oriented characteristics of the EL series. When it comes to generating spin, the DGC40+ 2.0 top sheet unfolds its full potential – highly reliable coupling and maximum spin – as it provides a slightly larger contact area upon ball contact. Enjoy a new experience!
