Actually when I run my fingers down the center of the rubber, it seems like it slips more than the sides of the rubber. I've been using this rubber for 5 weeks now, so maybe the rubber itself is also starting to wear out a little
A worn out rubber doesn't produce the "slippery" effect that you describe in your first post. It's just won't produce as much spin as a brand new one. I really doubt that it's even worn out after only 5 weeks, unless you are a real pro.
It's the humidity believe me. All self-respecting ping pong clubs in my country have de-humidifiers installed to keep moisture levels as low as possible. In the club that i play, we have 3 de-humidifiers working almost at 24/7 during the winter.
