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

Update from 08/2019 (- because I recently played with this rubber again and it is really recommendable !!!)
Rubber in black with 1,7 mm sponge, hardness 40 degree. Weight uncut 59 g and 44 g cut on my off+ blade (160 x 152 mm).
I became aware of this rubber through a test in a table tennis blog. (- unfortunately this rubber turned out to be not as light as described in the test !!!) After testing this rubber with 1.9 mm sponge thickness, on my DHS Ma Long 5 replica, I bought it with 1.7 mm for my VH !!!
Unfortunately, my (very hard) blade does not harmonize with this rubber. The play feeling was too direct, not dynamic enough for me. (- the basic speed was okay, but especially the very hard topsheet did not harmonize with my blade!!!) I have also tested this rubber on various other blades. Result: In conjunction with softer blades, the rubber is really fun and i must say, for a rubber with a 40 degree sponge, this rubber is really extraordinary. If you want to know more, here for you the link to the blog, where this rubber was tested and is (in my opinion) truthfully assessed. https://www.tt-spin.de/gewo-hype-xt-pro-40-0-test/
Addendum:
This is a call to everyone who thinks they have to rate something (especially speed, spin or control) and use the maximum rating of 10. The rating 10 stands for the maximum possible !!!! - and something like that will only be sold to you by a dealer who lies to you in order to sell his goods.
... AND, please do not enter any ratings in the tables without having written a report !!!!! - with that you are helping "nobody". Please everyone think about it!

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.
