Optimized combination of a relatively compact sponge that offers the necessary power, with a flexible and very grippy upper rubber elevates hits with topspin and counter-topspin to a new level. Take advantage of longer ball contact time and added control, giving your shots more quality and enjoyment.
Thanks to the innovative surface technology (Longer Trajectory Touch – LTT) this rubber produces maximum spin and an incredible feel and the possibility of slightly longer ball control, extending the ball’s trajectory. The perfect combination of a flexible, highly grippy upper rubber and an absolutely high-performance sponge offers immense potential for acceleration and ensures a more direct energy transfer on all offensive strokes, such as the key topspin close to the table or from mid-distance.
This synergy is enabled and optimized by the new DETT adhesion technology (Direct Energy Transmission Technology) in combination with the Longer Trajectory Touch Technology (LTT). GEWO Inventus is a more harmonious and at the same time more efficient combination of speed, spin, and acceleration, without losing feel and control.
Player type / Characteristics:
The rubber is an excellent choice for players who seek high speed and dynamic spin, those who want to control the game both close to the table and at mid-distance, and ideal for players who want absolute power with the stiffness they need in their shots, but do not want to compromise on the flexible upper rubber.

New surface technology LTT (Longer Trajectory Touch) smartly uses a more flexible, highly tangible upper rubber with slightly parted little bumps under tension. This kind of rubber structure ensures that during more passive strikes the time of ball contact and incredible potential for spin highly improve control, while also keeping the spare speed needed for explosive offensive strikes. Thanks to the LTT technology the players can now chose harder rubbers, without fear of losing control or absence of feel during passive strikes.
With direct energy transfer technology (DETT) the spongy cells in the rubber are more compact and additionally exposed to high tension. This ensures a more direct energy transfer onto the ball, which significantly increases speed and rebound height. Counter spins become more efficient and easier to play, even if you don’t hit the ball on the ideal spot. The way of the ball stays straighter, to arrive on the opponents’ side even faster, which gives the opponent an even shorter reaction time.
Consistency and reliability on the point of contact between the rubber and the ball are improved, which allows the player to keep control over the ball. New surface H-Touch DGC 40+ 3.0 offers more chances for speed and spin, even at higher speed. Shorter and more explosive strikes are even more open, and the harmonic combination of highly-functioning sponges GEWO with inventive surface structure of the H-Touch DGC 40+ rubber gives the player the confidence needed for a faster and more aggressive game without increasing your mistakes. Even slightly missed or suboptimal strikes can cause a lot of pressure on the opponents’ side, which can lead to gaining points.
Adaptable shape of the rubber/sponge FLEX-TECH 2.0 (XT), created specifically for GEWO, proves impressive base speed. Rubbers form the series XT with H-Touch DGC 40+ 3.0 surface, turn the speed of opponents’ topspin into personal energy and it releases like catapult, when leaving the racket. Small bumps on the rubber are distributed further apart and are slightly narrower that on the EL rubbers. These rubbers are focused mainly on speed.
