Likewise, people ask, what do the numbers on table tennis rubber mean?
A lower number means a softer sponge, a higher number means a firmer sponge. To give an idea, a rubber-band is around 25 and a car tire is around 80. Most table tennis rubbers will be between 30 and 45. A lower number will tend to provide more spin at lower speeds (including serves).
