Since the new Gewo Hype KR 47.5 Pro was developed in collaboration with an extremely experienced and successful player, it's no wonder that this rubber features special playing characteristics.
The grippy top sheet is spin-elastic, and the pimple structure is relatively short and narrow. The pink open-pored sponge is 47.5° hard and offers a lot of dynamics through the "Yoo-Power." This allows not only for high-spin shots but also accelerates more aggressive strokes very effectively. As a result, all topspin variations at the table or from mid-distance are well playable, with the Gewo Hype KR 47.5 Pro generating a higher trajectory on softer topspins compared to harder topspins and shots. Additionally, the "Dynamic-Grip-Concept" enables a very consistent and precise ball contact point, preventing the ball from "slipping through." Moreover, the rubber better forgives small inaccuracies in ball contact, which is particularly advantageous for slightly riskier strokes like counter-topspins.
Furthermore, the Hype KR 47.5 Pro impresses with good control in all delicate strokes. Thanks to the pleasant ball feel, passive blocks, spin-rich serves, and varied returns are executed very well and can also be placed very precisely.
With these playing characteristics, the Gewo Hype KR 47.5 Pro is especially suitable for variable topspin players who desire a rubber that not only offers a lot of dynamics and spin but also conveys a fantastic ball feel. However, the manufacturer recommends regular training to achieve the best possible performance with this rubber.
