Despite the 50 degree hardness and speed, it's quite easy to play passive as well as active strokes. The transition from defense to offense is very reliable. Throw angle is HIGH. Hard hitting loops and soft brushing loops are both easy to perform, especially against backspin. Speed is high, but bounciness is very linear easy to control. I played it on my 5ply allwood Nittaku Acoustic.

Translated from Spanish.
A decent rubber, speed similar to Nexxus Superselect 48, possibly a little lower, arc trajectory angle a bit low, good control. To get the best out of it you should take the hit from the rubber sponge, when you only brush the surface the hit doesn't have as much power. Good for active blocking, it seems like a better rubber to use for backhand than for forehand shots.

I stuck the GEWO Inventus XT Pro 50-degree on a Yinhe T11's blade and instantly found that this suited me the most out of all the rubbers I had tried for my forehand recently. The best thing I found was that the rubber generated a lot of grip, feel and touch even though it was on a 50.0 hardness rated sponge. Even though the previous rubber I used was rated as a 47.5 sponge hardness, I was able to make the ball dip quicker, faster with no noticeable loss of accuracy which helped with my overall consistency. I was also very pleased with the amount of spin I could generate with my forehand serves which is helping set up my 2nd ball attack if the opportunity arises. If you want more spin then the Andro Hexer SFX or BYPE are excellent but Inventus XT Pro 50 has more power if you want to hit it faster with spin. In summary its spinny, light, very quick and consistent, its been great at both attack and defence for me and Im currently using it for my league matches.
My T11s with MAX Blue GEWO Inventus XT Pro 50 and MAX Black Adro BYPE is 172g total weight which helps with wrist fatigue.
It's very light and I will update this review once I find the weight's uncut and cut.
