The all-rounder in GEWO's eco-boost series. For players searching for the ideal combination of the advantages and control of "classic rubbers" and the features of Tensor based high-performance rubbers. This is exactly what GEWO's eco-Boost provides: moderate speed for topspin attacking, a soft and elastic top rubber sheet and great reliability and control. The soft eSpin-Technology of GEWO Neoflexx eFT 40 guarantees optimum ball control and longer ball contact time for optimum control and forgiveness. Control of the game, that's what this rubber is made for. However, it still has more than enough power for dangerous topspins and smash shots.
Player type / features:
. Great for chopping and blocking, spin-absorbing NEAS sponge for optimum reliability and control.
. In your own attacks, the grippy DGC40+ top rubber sheet displays its strengths for high accuracy and precision.
. Perfect rubber for "newbies" in the GEWO Tensor world: For players of all performance classes aiming at improving their techniques and skills through hard work supported by the advantages and dynamics of modern rubbers.
eSpeed / eSpin Technology: "eco(nomic) boost for your match" is the motto of this rubber series. This rubber generation is based on a perfect combination of a newly developed sponge with a grippy surface and new pips arrangement. The harder rubbers (45° and 48°) focus on speed (eSpeed) - the softer rubber (40°) on spin. eSpeed / eSpin - perform at your best. GEWO Neoflexx eFT - expect more!
NEAS: "New Efficiency Active System" - unerringly accurate. The newly developed NEAS sponge provides for sufficient speed in all offensive strokes - however, it's control that this series primarily focuses on. Suitable for players of all classes.
DGC40+: The proven DGC40+ "Dynamic Grip Concept" guarantees uniform, reliable coupling of the ball when it hits the bat, its new surface texture prevents the (poly)ball from "slipping" and energy losses when the ball leaves the rubber. The surface was specially developed for and adjusted to the new requirements of the poly ball.
Gewo really succeeded in creating a "semi" tensor here. The catapult effect is quite subtle, it lends some power for stronger shots but at the same time it's not as nonlinear and thus not detrimental to the precision.
Overall it's an awesome allround rubber with nice control in basically all situations. Works well for me in both forehand and backhand. With ca. 56g for 1.9mm and 52g for 1.7mm (uncut 170x170 mm sheet), it's pleasantly lightweight, and the price is really fair.
The amount of spin is not crazy high compared to all those offensive monsters, but definitely high enough for some easy opening topspins and sharp pushes.
I would recommend the Neoflexx eFT 40 to all amateur players that are not purely offensive and want a reasonably priced and durable rubber that helps to get the ball onto the table (that's what table tennis is about, after all).
I love so much GEWO, but 9.9 in control and 9.9 in spin, it's crazy! And in the other side, 6.4 in speed and the very low gears are too low. All these numbers are far from the comparative characteristics numbers of the other backsides released by this same manufacturer ! So I voluntarily very changed these numbers (exaggerating with a very high speed and very gears, and lower control and even lower spin), to restore " if possible " a realistic average and more objectivity is for the compulsive testers of new backsides...
