provides speed reserves in all competition situations, allowing you to unleash dangerous counter-attacks even from a defensive position. A tendency toward short and dynamic strokes and a high overall level of play are prerequisites for exploiting the maximum potential of this true offensive rubber. Counter topspins, performed at the table or from a mid distance, can be executed effortlessly, placing immense pressure on an opponent with limited reaction time, which is attributed to a more linear path compared to softer variants.
Thanks to the innovative surface technology (Longer Trajectory Touch – LTT), this rubber produces maximum spin and incredible feel and the possibility of slightly longer ball control, extending the ball’s trajectory. A perfect combination of a flexible, highly grippy top sheet and an absolutely high-performance sponge enables remarkable acceleration potential and ensures more direct energy transfer on all attacking shots, such as the key topspin near the table or from a mid distance.
This synergy is enabled and optimized by the new DETT 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:
For fast, offensive and direct players who play close to the table and want to shorten the time to dangerous counter-attacks for their opponents with quick and short wrist movements, and ideal for players who need a hard and dynamic rubber for their game, focused on spin but unable to compromise on control and sensation.

LTT
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.
DETT
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.
H-Touch DGC40+ 3.0
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.
FlexTech 2.0
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.
