Gewo Proton Neo 450 - An offensive rubber
The
Gewo Proton Neo 450 is based on the well-known, spin-elastic Proton surface and a powerful, medium-hard (45°) premium tension sponge. The combination of a catchy, elastic topsheet and a fast sponge has a significant effect on the offensive possibilities of this table tennis rubber. As already mentioned above, prior to the introduction of the 475 version, the 450 was the fastest and most offensive version within this series.
So taking this together, it becomes evident that the Gewo Proton Neo 450 is definitely capable of generating powerful topspins and hard shots. However, also sensitive and rotational strokes, such as flips and soft openers, are easily feasible. This makes sure that you can act in a very variable manner during your (offensive) moves. Furthermore, you will also have an appropriate answer to the actions coming from your opponent.
Other characteristics of the Proton Neo 450 from Gewo are a higher and longer trajectory of the ball, which positively influences the quality of your strokes. This, in turn, makes it harder for your opponent to block your balls. Because the sponge of the 450 is not too hard, there is sufficient feeling and control, especially when doing passive strokes.
