chinese rubber top sheet is tacky...means a little bit sticky..it tends to hold the ball for a longer time so it would be easier to loop ...and the loops are slightly diff from the europeans,the ball wont jump taht high after hitting the table...
Yes, Chinese rubber top sheet is rather tacky (ie sticky) and sometimes you can stick a ping pong ball to the rubber too. Furthermore Chinese rubbers are cheaper compared to Japanese rubbers (Butterfly, Yasaka) or European rubbers like Stiga (Sweden), Andro, Tibhar & Donic (all from Germany)

yo... today off early... so, got chance to online n can go to play later!!! 
seems there are lots of discussion over here about the rubbers. FYI, there is rubber n sponge selling separately. u can try to find 729 rubber(best surface) and sponge(donno what brand is good). then glue them together. this can make the best rubber. last time, national players were playing these kind of rubber. (now maybe still got ppl playing these rubbers, but i'm not sure la..) but bare in mind that, once u glue senget or... glue not nicely... then gone de la.. lol....
but normally "rubber" we talking about, and selling in the market one is together with sponge n rubber one. and ya, Palio Macro Pro is very nice!! just a bit pricey, maybe RM90(if the price still maintain). but not last long. The side will deteriorate n drop off quite fast.
The gluing together sponge and top sheet used to be done my most "McGuyvers" in ping pong to determine which combination is the "best". For example German sponge with Chinese topsheet (not can buy off the shelves) which was rare previously. seems there are lots of discussion over here about the rubbers.

In my opinion, if you have the $$ & time, you can try pairing different sponge with the different topsheet. For example the DHS No. 20 sponge with other topsheet.

bro... if u want to try a good rubber, try Donic. it is more expensive, RM90(if the price still maintain). sive $$ and give it a try once. it's worth! the best rubber i played b4 is still Donic Desto F1. it gives you great spin, speed with really soft sponge. but the only pitfall is it broke easily if u have direct hit on the table with the F1.
Give it a try man!!
Yes, agree with you that Desto F1 is a good rubber for a mid-table looper/spinner. It comes with a soft sponge and is a good combination with a stiffer blade. But my experience with this rubber is that it is not that durable. Give it a try man!!

8.30am start. Luckily I have two training session at Sunway Lagoon Club ( last tuesday and thursday ) after not playing for more than 1 year. Hopefully this sunday can play better 
lose 2-3 to a chinese penhold fellow. Very good attacking player. I make too many mistakes, very regret lah... should not play so much attacking when I have not been playing for such a long time. Should have played more defensive and let him make mistake.
