Description
Introduction
After extensive comparisons in our RESONANT workshops, the Nexy Etika Pro H (51°) clearly stood out. Its linear power delivery, precise dynamics, and exceptional control perfectly complement the acoustic feedback and clear response of our blades. That’s why we also use this rubber as a reference in our workshops, for a modern, powerful, yet controlled offensive game.
Description
Offensive rubber with a hard 51° sponge (approx. 2.2 mm) and a grippy natural rubber topsheet. It delivers linear power, direct dynamics, and high spin and speed, ideal for experienced players who value both control and precision.
The Etika Pro H is designed for ambitious offensive players seeking maximum spin, consistent acceleration, and precise placement.

Playing characteristics & performance
- Linear & controlled: Minimal catapult effect; reacts directly, predictably, and consistently.
- Ideal for maximum energy transfer during fast topspins.
- Spin-rich topspins: The grippy topsheet enables strong rotation and stable flight curves.
- Powerful counters & blocks: Supports precise counterattacks and reliable blocking, “massive counter-topspins with low error risk.”
- Durable: Over 200 hours of consistent performance and surface grip.
Recommended for
- Ambitious allround and offensive players
- Looping specialists focused on spin and precision
- Tournament players who value consistency and durability
Note: Why not use very soft rubbers?
Very soft rubbers (approx. 38–42°) may feel pleasant at first but often create a strong catapult effect that distorts the true ball feel. Many players believe soft rubbers offer more “touch,” yet this impression comes mainly from damping, not from precise feedback.
The catapult performs too much of the work and hides differences in timing, racket angle, and point of contact.
A hard rubber like the Etika Pro H (51°), on the other hand, provides direct, linear feedback, high stability under pressure, and a consistent, reproducible stroke dynamic. This is especially beneficial for offensive players who need clear response, maximum energy transfer, and precise placement, as well as for anyone seeking a reliable high-performance setup.
Material & care
- Hard 51° sponge (~2.2 mm) for linear power delivery and precise dynamics
- Natural rubber topsheet for maximum spin and consistent speed
- Excellent durability, stable trajectories, and direct feedback
- Available uncut or pre-assembled on RESONANT blades upon request
- Care tips: Clean with rubber cleaner after play, use a protection sheet, and store in a dry place away from heat and humidity.
Conclusion
The Nexy Etika Pro H (51°) is a high-performance offensive rubber for players seeking absolute control with maximum spin and power, the perfect match for modern, dynamic topspin play and optimally tuned for all RESONANT blades.
