GEWO Nexxus series

was thinking on getting the aruna hinoki carbon with nexxus rubbers bundle on tabletennisstore.us since 170 isn't bad when retail on the aruna hinoki is 150, but idk what nexxus rubbers to get, was thinking about el48 but idk. im more of a spin>speed person (spin over speed). what you guys think?

48 is a slightly softer D05, and 45 is a slightly softer T05. Maybe 48 would be ideal for you.

I assuem you mean Rasanter R version is a lot better than V version?

I have not personally tried the V version so I am not the best judge. The R version is much more used and a lot of pros such as Achanta, Gauzy and Diaw use it as well. I have not seen anyone use the V version.

Playing with Gewo Nexxus EL Pro 38 (FH) and 43 (BH) on a Dicon. The 38 was awesome on another Blade (Gewo Carbon Hybrid All+), but suprisingly, I prefer the 43 on the Dicon. I was wondering if there would be a big difference between the EL Pro 43 and the Superselect 45. Would it be worth trying it ?

i bought a sheet of Superselect 48 for FH use ( and yes, it is the green one ).

My impression; it feels hard and bouncy. It does not eat the ball much and shoots out too quickly. I don't use it anymore other than as a novelty act for LOLS effect ( The green colour )

You never know until you try. it. I started with C-1 on my BH on a 5-ply all wood and then upgraded to G-1 for more speed. That was my set up for 3 years. Earlier this year, I switched to carbon blade and G-1 felt "too hard" all of the sudden, so I went back to C-1 again and C-1 feels just right. The right amount of bite into the softer sponge. The ability to develop my BH loop.

Another example, I have a red MX-S that felt too hard on THREE carbon blades. Then out of desperation because I did not want to waste a nice sheet of rubber, I transferred it to a 7-ply all wood blade and I love it on that blade. Who knew?

Therefore it is not uncommon for one rubber to fit better for one set of blade but not for another. You have to try and feel for yourself.

And that's also why I am confused on people making comments on the four sets of rubber when they are stuck on their main blade v.s. their back-up blade. I don't think they can tell when two variables are changed at the same time.

I was just asking about comparison with steady variables of Superselect 45 vs EL Pro 43. Did someone made the comparison on the same blade ?

It's not a Gewo rubber, but if you are looking for something similar to MX-P, but better... Tibhar El-D is similar to MX-P, but is way better for everything in my opinion.

 

[Grumms]

I never tried MX-P. I stopped playing in 2010 and was playing with Desto F2 at the time.

One year later, I played extensively with Nexxus rubbers. I made the most of the season with 2 Nexxus EL 43 on my Waldner Dicon. I switched to a Long V clone with Nexxus 38° only on the BH, and again, awesome for my style.

I explored a lot during the last 6 months. I tried the SuperSelect 48° on a Fang Bo B2, and last week I bought, at the Gewo stand during French WTT event, a SS 45° and tried it on a Ynihe Pro 05. Gewo's guy told me that 45 and 48 would be very different, and that 45° has a higher arc. I find it surprising that the same rubber, with such comparable hardness, could be so different. What the point ? Do you confuse the consumer on purpose ? And of course, when I tested the 45°, it was not that much different from the 48°. Just a little softer, bouncier, and a littler louder. I loved my trial of the SS 45°, active blocks and return loops were almost as easy than with the 38°, and I did not so many length errors with block spins. I'm very tempted to made it my BH rubber for the season.
