The Gewo Codexx Superselect Pro series combines power, precision, and heavy spin to create the ideal rubber for both close and mid-distance play. The top sheet offers a sense of firmness and flexibility, allowing players to generate exceptional grip for powerful topspins and counterspins. Due to the slightly tacky topsheet, touch play is fairly easy to control while the fine pore European sponge allows for tremendous power for aggressive topspins. The numbers 55 & 53 distinguish the Codexx rubbers by their European sponge hardness (55° & 53°) while the topsheet between the two remains the same.

In comparison with other popular hybrid rubbers, the top sheet of the Codexx Superselect Pro is more firm and the throw angle is a bit more linear. I found it to be more similar to Joola’s Dynaryz ZGR, while other rubbers such as Butterfly Dignics 09C and Tibhar K3 have a slightly higher throw angle and softer top sheet. In terms of durability, Codexx is right on par with the competition, although I will note that after rigorous training the rubber does start to lose its highest level of speed and spin (as do all rubbers after extensive use).

The Codexx series is most suitable for players who like to drive the ball from close and mid-distance, as well as create heavy spin and variation in the initial stages of a rally. With Codexx, performance is a reflection of technique— several gears allow for controlled touch in the serve/receive game, while a fast swing can yield a lot of power and spin during rallies.

Why Choose the Codexx Superselect Pro Series?

I’ve been using the Codexx Superselect Pro series for the last 6 months now, and I’m quite happy with the results I’ve had thus far. I currently use the 55° on my forehand and the 53° on my backhand, and I find that they pair well with both hard, fast blades as well as softer, more flexible blades.

One of the standout features of the Superselect Pro series is the option for players to choose between the hard feeling of maximum power with the 55° sponge, and the slightly softer balance of control and power with the 53° sponge.

Another reason the Codexx series stands out for is its affordability—retailing at $54.99, Gewo offers a significant price advantage compared to most of the pther hybrid rubbers on the market, like Dignics 09C ($94), Tibhar K3 ($74.99), and even Dynaryz ZGR ($59.99).
Beginner & intermediate players can definitely benefit from the endless possibilities Codexx provides, however, I would recommend players with strong fundamentals to use this rubber in order to get the most out of it. Great value, great quality, and great precision - that’s what really defines the Gewo Codexx Superselect Pro Series!
