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 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!
GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 53 Hard – Faster and harder! The best choice: The rubber series for top players and players who enjoy uncompromising power rubbers. Commitment to continuous improvement, excellent performance and outstanding quality have always been core values of the GEWO tradition. Most players have already adjusted successfully to the new ABS balls and made the necessary changes to 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 increasingly 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 at this level, GEWO designers and world-class players, as well as ambitious players of all levels, teamed up in countless test series to find the perfect rubbers for the specific requirements of 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 highly interesting rubber alternatives for 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 combined with 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 precisely the characteristics that have become indispensable for modern attacking table tennis. 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 game For dedicated players with good technique – maximum power for perfect ball acceleration 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 for 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 in the maXXimum thickness (2.2 mm / 2.3 mm = Maxximum.Power.Play.). DGC40+ 2.0 One of the factors behind the 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, while the grippy surface prevents the ball from “slipping”. The introduction of the latest ball generation (e.g. GEWO Select Pro 40+ ***) also calls for 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 great ball contact feedback and a unique feel. All rubbers in this series are designed 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.
