External Review for GEWO Hype XT Pro 40.0 on August 8, 2019

Update from 08/2019: - In my opinion, this rubber is completely underrated!!! Facts: Black rubber with 1.7 mm. Uncut 59 g. and 44 g. cut on my Off+ blade (Stuor Prof. Long 5 with 160 x 152 mm). The sponge hardness is 40 degrees. ( - due to the very firm top rubber, I assume that the overall hardness must be over 50 degrees. ... similar to the Tibhar AURUS Sound! After testing this rubber with 1.9 mm sponge thickness on my Long 5 Replica, I bought it with 1.7 mm for my FH. Unfortunately, this wood does not harmonize with this rubber. The feel is very direct but somehow not dynamic enough. ... although the speed is sufficient! I have also tested this rubber on various other woods. In combination with softer woods, the rubber performed better. For a rubber with 40 degree sponge, this rubber is relatively hard and therefore really exceptional. Addendum: Since the beginning of 2024 I have been playing this rubber (instead of the Btfly. Ten. 64) on the BH side. The weight (in red, with 1.7 mm) was 86 g in original packaging, 61 g uncut and finally on my Btfly. Z.JK. Tamca 5000, 42 g. ... on the FH side the Dig. 09c is stuck with 2.1 mm. - Fantastic!!! ;) ... especially if you want to reduce the weight of your set-up!!! ;-P Addendum: even on my Sanwei Hynover, a blade with Hinoki outer veneer and ALC underneath, the rubber with 2.1 mm (on my FH side) performs excellently. ... and that with "only 43 g." - although I think it is better placed on the backhand side. :-D

A controllable rubber, Played on a Butterfly Kreanga Carbon ULC, The trajectory was pretty flat. The serves are good as well as Topspin and block. I did not manage to give it a good backspin chop in that combination, but nevertheless the rubber
can unfold its full potential on a softer blade. All in all, a good racket for spin but a bit too offensive for my style of play.

Have given up on Evolution FX-P/FX-S on my forehand (!) for this rubber. I have the 1.9mm sponge. It is very much comparable to Evolution FX-P, the only difference is that it is much easier to play with and even more shots go where they are supposed to go: On the table. Surprisingly, for a soft rubber, serves are very spinny, blocking is good and opening loops are as good as or only slightly worse than with the FX-P and almost as good as Vega Japan. I am so fascinated by this rubber that I am currently working out if it can replace my Tenergy 25fx on the backhand as well, simply because Hype XT Pro is cheaper. Mine cost 39. The only downside of this rubber might be that you lose power the further you go away from the table. It is still a soft rubber after all. Still very highly recommended. P.S.: Don't put away the rubber after the first training session. It mutates into something a little more powerful after one week.
