About Nexxus EL Pro 43
Nexxus EL Pro 43 uses pre-tensioned tensor sponge with a catapult effect and relatively low dwell and a grippy, non-tacky topsheet typical of European tensors. Manufacturer sponge hardness is 43° (Tensor); a cut sheet is about 46 g. Factory sponge thicknesses: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. Nexxus EL Pro is Gewo's hardness-coded tensor line (38, 43, 48, 50, 53) on a grippy topsheet.
On the TableTennisReview 0–100 index the Combined figures are speed 88, spin 90 and control 84 (official mapping 87 / 88 / 83). That is a mid-to-high speed inverted profile for offensive close-to-table and mid-distance topspin. Hardness, weight and thickness above are factory facts — not lab tests.
Community score 8.8 / 10 from 280 reviews. Indicative European street price €40. Compare Nexxus EL Pro 43 with other Gewo Nexxus and inverted rubbers on the same scale, or open the catalogue filters for OFF inverted sheets.

Factory thicknesses
Factory sponge thicknesses sold in Europe: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. These are shopping facts — Combined speed / spin / control on this page do not change with thickness.
- 1.8
- 1.9
- 2.0
- 2.1
- MAX
- 1.8
- Thinner inverted sponge. Allround and first-upgrade backhands live here more often than attacking forehands.
- 1.9
- The usual club backhand thickness on inverted tensors. A bit more control, a bit less catapult than 2.1 / MAX.
- 2.0
- Mid-thick. Common on the backhand when MAX felt lively, or as a two-wing compromise.
- 2.1
- Still a thick attacking sponge. A small step down from MAX on some tensors — shops treat it as the other FH thickness, not a control sheet.
- MAX
- Thickest factory sponge. Most catapult on a tensor; the usual attacking forehand. Combined figures on this page are for the SKU, not a separate MAX score.
