What do the numbers on table tennis rubber mean?
Most table tennis rubbers will be between 30 and 45. A lower number will tend to provide more spin at lower speeds (including serves). A higher number will tend to provide more spin at higher speeds. Players who tend to play a ‘Chinese’ style (straighter elbow when looping) will find a higher number to be better.

How to find the weight of a rubber sheet?
