Collection: Table Tennis Rubbers

Chinese rubbers (DHS, 729, Reactor) have a tacky topsheet that grips the ball on contact. This produces heavy spin and excellent control for close-to-table play, serves, and short game. They require more technique to generate speed but reward skilled players with devastating loops.

Japanese/European rubbers (Butterfly, Victas) use tensor technology with a grippy but non-tacky topsheet and elastic sponge. They generate speed more easily, are more forgiving, and excel at mid-distance powerful loops. Less raw spin than Chinese rubbers but more dynamic and easier to use.

Most pros use Chinese rubber on forehand (for spin) and Japanese/European on backhand (for speed and consistency). Explore our DHS and Butterfly collections to compare.

Softer sponge (35–39°) — More control, better touch, easier to use. Great for developing players and all-round styles.

Medium sponge (39–42°) — Balanced speed and control. The most popular range for club to advanced players.

Hard sponge (42°+) — Maximum spin and power for skilled players. DHS Hurricane rubbers are famous for hard sponge (up to 44° in provincial/national versions).

If you're unsure, start with medium hardness. You can always adjust as your technique improves.

DHS produces the same rubber model in different quality tiers, just like their blades:

Commercial (市售) — Mass-produced, widely available. Good quality and the most affordable entry point. Suitable for club players.

Provincial (省队) — Selected from production runs for provincial teams. Better topsheet consistency, more uniform sponge, and noticeably better spin and feel.

National (国家队) — Hand-selected for national team players. The best quality control, most consistent tackiness, and highest performance ceiling. Used by Ma Long and Fan Zhendong.

The difference between versions is real and noticeable — browse our DHS collection to see available versions.

Chinese tacky rubbers (DHS, 729) — The tackiness wears off over time. Competitive players replace every 2–3 months. Club players can stretch to 4–6 months.

Tensor rubbers (Butterfly, Victas) — The elastic sponge loses tension gradually. Most players replace every 3–6 months depending on usage.

Tip: Use a rubber cleaner after every session and store your racket in a case to protect it.
