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.
