Long-term test series with the tightest geometrical and playing feature tolerances in different conditions formed the basis: Fine tuning on a new level was the result. It is our mission to create maximum precision rubbers to meet the requirements of modern table tennis. So, once you use GEWO Nexxus Pro featuring state-of-the-art technology (nexxTT, N.E.P., Maxximum.Power.Play.) on you blade, you know what you get: The Very Best.
Recent physical developments (e.g. the new balls) and the experience gained through a long-term design and testing series all over the world (involving numerous GEWO top level and players, talents and coaches from various fields) culminated in one goal: The development of the “nexxTT Generation” rubber series. Now, we are proud to announce: Mission Completed!
The ultimate solution. Details matter.
The master class of the Nexxus series. The GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 48 will amaze you: whether fast, powerful opening topspins or slower, spin-focused rallies: no problem with this high-end development. You will virtually feel how the ball “digs into” the rubber. Finally, you will be able to attack your opponent with a heavy- spin opener. Precise topspins, versatile attacking, variant-rich serves/returns – this spin-focused power rubber leaves nothing to be desired. The grippy and flexible top rubber sheet provides for maXXimum coupling of the ball in all attacking actions.

This is a rubber from a brand I'd never heard of before (lol). I found out about it because a friend was using it. It has really fast ball release, and combined with the hardness of the sponge, the speed is just insane. On the other hand, control and the short game were hard to pull off with it. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to prioritize speed above all else.

At first I felt like it flew too much, but once I got used to it, I could hit drives with a real sense of speed that my opponents couldn't react to. Also, maybe because I was using a plywood blade, the trajectory was low, but it still came out fine.
For serves, the sheet is hard, so you can produce sharp, biting serves. Spin does get on the ball, but since the ball releases quickly, it's hard to really feel it. Control is basically easy, and when serving long you can easily produce fast, extending serves, but on the other hand, short serves tend to fly and are hard to keep in check, so short serves take some getting used to. With a bit of practice I got used to it.
Lastly
Before using this rubber, I'd heard it was similar to G1, but I don't think it's that similar. G1 has a softer sheet than Nexxus EL Pro 48, which makes it easier to chip, and it tended to be easier to produce short receives and serves. On the other hand, Nexxus EL Pro 48's sheet is harder than G1's, so the grip was strong and it was harder to chip — which I liked. However, it tends to fly until you get used to it, so it took a bit of adjustment. Still, what these two had in common was that spin got on automatically and the way the ball flew felt similar.

Bought it brand new, unused, from a flea market app.
Pros: It's just fast, period. The ball flies off before it even really grabs. It's barely affected by incoming spin, which was great against topspin. On the short game, when it doesn't bounce, it really doesn't bounce at all. Good feel against topspin.
Cons: On serves, it's hard to feel like you're getting spin on the ball.
Hard to lift against backspin.
A bit heavy — 51.2g at max thickness.
Summary: Recommended for players who rely on flicking/hitting technique.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

If I had to compare this rubber to another one, I'd say it's like Tenergy 80.
It leans more toward the speed category, but it manages to balance spin and speed while still being controllable, which is great.
Also, the sheet is strong and on the thicker side, so it really grips the ball. That's why the control is so impressive.
That said, it's a bit on the hard side, so if you prefer something softer, there's also a 43-degree version, so maybe give that a try.
In my case, my drives got more precise than before and started going in a lot more, so I really like it.
I had some teammates from my club try it too, and a lot of them liked it, so I think it's an all-around rubber that meets a lot of people's needs.
This rubber is sold by WRM, but it's probably not available at other shops, so keep that in mind.
Personally, I found stops a bit tricky to do, but other than that it's very stable and consistent (though this may vary by person)All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The ball comes off fast, but the flight distance is kept modest, so it's easy to handle while still getting good spin.
Serves bite well too and are easy to use.
Pushes and stops land on the table without floating.
It sounds like nothing but good things, but unless your swing speed is fast enough, topspin drives won't get much spin. Also, blocks are affected somewhat by the opponent's spin (though the return is still fast), so some caution is needed there.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
