Key Performance Benefits
Premium Hinoki Feel & Carbon Speed
The GEWO Celexxis Hinoki Ex-Carbon is defined by its exquisite Hinoki outer veneer, which provides a unique, sophisticated feel that many professionals prefer for its blend of touch and power. Reinforced with carbon fiber, it offers a large sweet spot and a "quick-response" character that rewards clean technique with blistering speed and high-precision feedback.
Advanced Hybrid Spin Dynamics
Both rubber in this setup utilize the latest Iconixx Hybrid HXT technology. Unlike standard tensor rubber, these offer a hybrid-style topsheet that provides greater grip and spin potential, particularly effective on plastic balls.
This combination allows the player to:
-
Forehand Power: Use the firmer 50° sponge on the forehand to generate maximum spin and speed on opening loops and finishing drives.
-
Backhand Versatility: Utilize the 48° sponge on the backhand for a more responsive
feel, making it easier to block, flick, and initiate rapid backhand-to-backhand exchanges.
-
Consistency: Experience a stable, predictable trajectory that helps players maintain pressure throughout the rally without sacrificing touch in the short game.
Professional-Grade Synergy
By pairing a blade known for its "exquisite touch" (Celexxis) with two hybrid rubber that excel in high-spin offensive play, this setup creates a comprehensive tool for the two-winged attacker. It provides enough dwell to feel the ball deeply during delicate serves and returns, while possessing the internal tension to explode through the ball when the opportunity to attack arises.
Component Deep-Dive
The Blade: GEWO Celexxis Hinoki Ex-Carbon
The GEWO Celexxis Hinoki Ex-Carbon is a top-tier blade for players who appreciate the classic, premium feel of Hinoki. Its construction balances the natural elasticity and "dwell" of wood with the stiff, powerful snap of carbon fiber. This makes it an ideal platform for players who want to dominate with speed while maintaining the fine touch needed for short-game dominance.
Best suited for:
- Advanced offensive players who value premium feel.
- Loopers who need a stable, quick-response blade.
- Players looking for professional-tier quality and feedback.
The Forehand Rubber: GEWO Iconixx Hybrid HXT Pro 50
The Iconixx Hybrid HXT Pro 50 is the ultimate choice for the forehand side. With a firm 50-degree sponge, it provides the necessary hardness for flat-hitting and high-velocity loops. The hybrid topsheet ensures that when you graze the ball, you get a "bite" that produces heavy, sinking spin.
Best suited for:
- Powerful forehand looping and finishing attacks.
- High-spin serves and aggressive service returns.
- Players who rely on direct, high-energy shots.
The Backhand Rubber: GEWO Iconixx Hybrid HXT Pro 48
The Iconixx Hybrid HXT Pro 48 is slightly softer than its counterpart, offering a "sweeter" spot for backhand play. This allows for easier activation during backhand flicks, blocks, and counters, providing the player with more forgiveness during rapid exchanges while still retaining the high spin-to-speed ratio of the Hybrid HXT series.
Best suited for:
- Aggressive backhand opening and counterplay.
- Fast, reliable blocking and service returns.
- Players who prefer a slightly more forgiving backhand feel.
Who Is This Combo For?
This setup is ideal for:
- Aggressive two-winged attackers who want professional-level equipment.
- Players who love the feeling of Hinoki wood but need the speed of carbon.
- Modern offensive players who utilize hybrid-style rubber to generate maximum spin.
- Athletes who want a firm, high-spin forehand paired with a fast, stable backhand.
- Advanced players who want a blade-rubber combination that balances "exquisite touch" with "blistering power."
Recommended Playing Style
Use the HXT Pro 50 forehand to dominate rallies with heavy spin and powerful loops. The Celexxis blade will help you maintain high accuracy on these fast shots. Use the HXT Pro 48 backhand to take control early in the point—its stability is perfect for quick backhand flicks and aggressive blocks that can turn a defensive situation into an attack.
This combo is for players who want to build points with spin and precision, only to finish them with the uncompromising speed that only a Hinoki-Carbon combination can provide.
