Any Ping Pong Players Here?

I just watched some professional table tennis tournament on ESPN a few weeks ago and they used sandpaper. From what I've been reading, sandpaper produces LESS spin, however, because of the hardness, it moves the ball...fast. I've just switched to a pip out rubber, get plenty of spin and the ball flies!

I played lots in college, was once pretty good. Preferred the "pip in" style paddle myself. the surface was almost "sticky", and gave exceptional control for spin. Definitely NOT as fast as sandpaper, but very controllable got spin and accuracy.
