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
