GEWO Rubber Inventus XT Pro 52.5 red 2,0 mm

GMaximum hardness, explosive catapult effect, and flat trajectories – the GEWO Inventus XT Pro 52.5 is made for aggressive players with high-speed demands.

GEWO Inventus Rubber Series – A new dimension of control, spin, and energy transmission

The GEWO Inventus rubber series marks another milestone in the success story of GEWO’s high-performance rubbers. A newly developed surface technology (Longer Trajectory Touch – LTT) enables maximum rotation, combined with an incredible feel and the ability to “carry” the ball a little longer, resulting in an extended trajectory. This significantly improves ball control and provides optimised touch for all situations in which precision play is required – without having to sacrifice the necessary speed reserves. A perfect interaction between a flexible, highly grippy topsheet and an absolute high-performance sponge unlocks enormous acceleration potential and ensures more direct energy transmission in all offensive strokes, such as the all-important counter-topspin close to the table or from mid-distance. What previously seemed unthinkable is now possible, because – as the name Inventus suggests – we have found the ideal solution: You can hold the ball slightly longer on the racket without losing any speed.

This interplay is made possible and further optimised by the new bonding technology DETT (Direct Energy Transmission Technology) combined with Longer Trajectory Touch (LTT). GEWO Inventus stands for a more harmonious yet more efficient combination of speed, rotation and acceleration, without compromising feel or control.

GEWO Rubber Inventus XT Pro 52.5

The 52.5° hard yet dynamic sponge provides the foundation for maximum power table tennis! In this version, the focus clearly lies on the successful combination of hardness, speed and the necessary feel for all controlled strokes used to prepare point-winning finishing shots. The 52.5° power sponge offers speed reserves in every playing situation, enabling players to launch dangerous counterattacks at any time—even from defensive positions. A generally short and dynamic arm movement, combined with a high technical playing level, are essential to unlock the full potential of this true offensive powerhouse. Counter-topspins close to the table or from mid-distance can be executed with ease, and due to the flatter trajectories (compared to the softer versions), the opponent has hardly any time to withstand the generated pressure.

Player Type / Characteristics:

• Hard, fast and direct, yet with the necessary spin and a trajectory that is not too flat
• For players who act close to the table and, through fast and compact arm movements, leave the opponent no time for dangerous counterattacks
• Ideally suited for players who require a hard and dynamic sponge for their “counter-spin-oriented” game, but who still depend on optimal control and excellent touch

LTT - Longer Trajectory Touch

With the new LTT surface technology, a flexible, highly grippy topsheet with slightly wider-spaced pimple heads is placed under precise tension. This results in longer dwell time and immense spin potential during passive strokes, significantly enhancing control – while still providing sufficient speed reserves for explosive attacking shots at any time. Additionally, the LTT technology allows players to choose harder sponges without fear of losing control or touch in passive play.

DETT - Direct Energy Transmission Technology

With Direct Energy Transmission Technology (DETT), the sponge cells are designed to be more compact and placed under high tension. This ensures more direct energy transfer to the ball and significantly increases speed and catapult performance. Counter-topspins become more efficient and easier to execute, even when the ball is struck below its “peak point”. The ball trajectory remains flat enough to make the ball land faster on the opponent’s side, reducing their reaction time.

H-Touch DGC40+ 3.0 – Longer Trajectory Touch

In developing the next generation of the successful DGC40+ and DGC40+ 2.0 technologies, our aim was to enhance their strengths by adding a new component: improving the consistency and reliability of ball contact, while allowing players to guide the ball longer without having to sacrifice speed or spin. The new H-Touch DGC40+ 3.0 surfaces therefore offer even greater speed and rotation potential, even in the highest speed ranges. Shorter and more explosive stroke movements are supported even more effectively, and the harmonious combination of GEWO high-performance sponges with the ingenious H-Touch DGC40+ surface structure provides players with maximum confidence to play faster and more aggressively without increasing their error rate. Even late or imperfect contacts can still be converted into dangerous and efficient shots that lead to winning points. There is no standstill!

XT - FlexTech 2.0

The specially developed flexible sponge-and-rubber construction FLEX-TECH 2.0 (XT) ensures impressive basic speed. Rubbers in the XT series convert the incoming speed of the opponent’s topspin into their own energy – also supported by the H-Touch DGC40+ 3.0 surface – and release it again in a catapult-like manner when the ball leaves the racket. The pimple heads are positioned further apart and are slightly narrower than those of the EL rubbers. The focus of these rubbers is speed.
