Definition: A table tennis rubber is a sheet of ordinary pimpled rubber or sandwich rubber glued onto a table tennis blade so that it can be used to strike the ball legally under ITTF rules. You may not strike the ball with a side of the blade that does not have a rubber sheet glued to it.
There are many different rubbers on the market today. Here are the Top Ten Beginner Rubbers, and the Top Ten Classic Rubbers, as selected by myself and the members of the About.com Table Tennis Forum.
Also Known As: rubber sheet
