What is Sandwich rubber (inverted) in Table Tennis?

The standard modern covering: a sponge layer topped by a smooth (pimples-inward) rubber sheet. It grips the ball longest, generating the heavy spin that defines the contemporary game.

Example: Almost every attacking pro uses inverted rubber on the forehand.
