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.

The star gets company
Within a very short time, the DONIC BlueStar A1 has become the star among the rubber sheets. Its fantastic catapult and speed characteristics are due to the fine-pored sponge, but also the only slightly sticky but extremely grippy top sheet significantly contributes to the outstanding playing characteristics.
Now the high-quality DONIC rubber sheet is getting company.
The BlueStar A2 and BlueStar A3 are alternatives for all pros who find the 52.5° sponge of the BlueStar A1 too hard or who prefer a slightly softer sponge hardness. The new models are available with sponge hardness of 50° (BlueStar A2) and 47,5° (BlueStar A3). The technology that makes the small-pored sponge of the BlueStar so special is, of course, also used with these versions: Optimised Energy Sponge (OPTE) sets standards in terms of elasticity and shock absorbing level.
Development, production and processing of the BlueStar meet the highest requirements, which is why this is the epitome of the rubbers. Now also available with slightly softer sponge hardness, which is ideal for most advanced players that play up to professional level.
