Rubbers
Table tennis rubbers — the sheet that glues onto a blade and provides the playing surface. A rubber is a wearing part: the topsheet loses grip with use, so sheets are replaced periodically while the blade underneath stays. They are sold as single sheets, so a full racket needs two, and the two sides do not have to match.
Surface type is the biggest single difference, and the types are not comparable with each other. Inverted (pimple-in) rubbers present a smooth face and are what most players use for spin and speed. Short pips point outward and are less affected by incoming spin, which suits hitting and blocking close to the table. Long pips return spin in ways an opponent has to read, and belong to a deliberately disruptive style rather than a beginner's racket.
Sponge hardness sets how much the sheet does for you. A softer sponge grips at lower speeds and is more forgiving; a harder sponge stores more energy but needs a full stroke to activate, so it rewards technique rather than supplying it. Hardness is stated in degrees, but each manufacturer measures on its own scale — compare figures within a brand rather than across brands.
Thickness is chosen per sheet, usually between about 1.5 mm and MAX, and sometimes OX, which means no sponge at all. Thinner favours control and touch; thicker stores more energy. If you are choosing by intent rather than by number, start from offensive, allround or defensive sheets and read the specifications from there. You will also want glue to fit them and cleaner to keep them.

Butterfly Super Anti is a special rubber that does not react the way most others do. In today's game, which is dominated by high tension rubber sheets that produce inordinate amounts of speed and spin, Super Anti is the outlier. This Butterfly rubber is designed to take all the sting out of your opponents attacks and give them nothing to work with. Due to the nearly frictionless topsheet and soft sponge, Super Anti neutralizes your opponent's fast and spinny shots. The result is a much slower return with little to no spin, giving your opponent fits that most can't handle. The best way to utilize this special rubber is to have a fast, spinny, offensive rubber on the other side of your racket to keep your opponent off balance. Advanced players can use this difference to their advantage by twiddling (switching which side of the paddle is on the forehand and backhand by spinning the paddle in their hand) during the point, adding another level of mental gymnastics for whomever they are playing.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
- Super Anti is a high quality anti spin table tennis rubber which counteracts your opponent's spin
- This rubber has an exceptionally low friction topsheet designed to produce a no-spin ball
- Most effective when used as part of a combination racket with offensive rubber on the other side

DIGNICS guides your play to a more advanced level. The essence is the combination of Spring Sponge X, the advanced version of Spring Sponge which has more elasticity, with the uniquely composed top sheet, now with strengthened abrasion. This creates great resistance on the surface, providing the feeling of holding the ball at impact. Adopting pimples code No.05 recognized for its high spin performance, DIGNICS 05 is recommended for the player who seeks to generate a high-level attacking play imparting powerful topspin, as well as counter topspin play both close to the table and at mid distance. With a higher and longer trajectory than Tenergy 05, Dignics 05 lands deeper in the opponent's court and kicks harder, resulting in your opponent having to play passively. DIGNICS 05 also excels when delicate touch is applied or playing with spin close to the table is needed; such as when returning service with Banana Flip or in counter topspin rallies. Furthermore, quick-attacking-play as well as receiving service is more effective and counter-attacking- play close to the table is more accurate. Dignics 05, Overpowering Evolution.
