The Gewo Neoflexx Rubbers:
The
Neoflexx series by Gewo includes three offensively oriented rubbers that can be used very versatilely. The good compromise between sufficient power for effective attacking shots and the highest possible basic safety in all strokes makes the rubbers relatively easy to play. In addition to an extremely harmonious playing behavior with the perfect coordination of sponge and top sheet, the optimal adaptation to the plastic ball was also an important aspect in the development of the series. A new top sheet with a modified pimple structure and the DGC40+ surface (Dynamic Grip Concept) provides extremely good ball connection, promoting strong spin development. Together with the consistent, dynamic properties of the NEAS sponge (New Efficiency Active System), secure, precise attacks can be successfully played. The three different rubber variants differ in their sponge hardness.
The controlled soft rubber: Gewo Neoflexx eFT 40
The version with the 40° sponge is not only the softest rubber in the series but also the only one of the three rubbers where the so-called eSpin technology is used. This ensures a longer ball contact time, allowing even more spin to be generated. This makes it easy to play safe openings with a lot of rotation. Otherwise, the
Gewo Neoflexx eFT 40 is designed to provide brilliant control in safe all-round play. Especially counter, block, and push shots can be played with high precision and a low error rate.
Gewo Neoflexx eFT 45: Medium-hard and versatile
The
Gewo Neoflexx eFT 45 stands between the soft eFT 40 and the harder eFT 48 in terms of hardness and speed. Both the sponge (45°) and the top sheet are classified as medium-hard, and the playing characteristics can also be described as a middle ground. Thanks to the eSpeed technology, the rubber combines medium basic speed with extremely good spin properties. Thus, the eFT 45 offers an ideal basis for attacking dynamically and with a lot of spin. At the same time, high precision and a pleasant playing feel are also in the foreground.
Topspins as the weapon of choice: Gewo Neoflexx eFT 48
Through the combination of the 48° hard sponge and the eSpeed technology, the
Gewo Neoflexx eFT 48 is the fastest and hardest version of the rubber series. Although the sponge offers high dynamics and seems relatively hard on paper at 48 degrees, the eFT 48 version also plays comparatively pleasantly and precisely. At the ball contact point, the sponge adapts perfectly to the ball, allowing not only optimal energy transfer but also providing helpful feedback. Of course, the grip level is also above average in this version, offering you the opportunity to serve and attack with a lot of rotation. In the variable, fast offensive play with dynamic topspins, the Neoflexx eFT 48 unfolds its full potential.
Conclusion on the Gewo Neoflexx Rubbers:
With all three rubbers of the series, it is clear that great emphasis was placed on spin potential and pleasant, precise playing behavior. This makes this series ideal for active players who want to maintain control over the game and their shots at all times. Depending on your preferred playing style, you can choose the sponge hardness that suits your game. The Neoflexx rubber series is also an interesting option for players looking for a compromise between tensor rubbers and classic rubbers.
