How can I get more grip (adherence) on the rubber sides of my old table tennis paddle?
I have an old tennis table that I want to use once again, but the rubber side it has no adherence to spin the ball at all. If you know any technique, method or product I can apply, please answer me
To restore it, I would put a few drops of vegetable oil on the rubber (The stuff you have around your kitchen), then wipe the whole surface down with a cloth of some sort. After that, you can mainly use tap water to clean the rubber after each use.

How do I use the flared-straight handle of my ping pong (table tennis) racquet?
I bought a butterfly kenji paddle and it comes with a unique flared-straight handle style in which one side of the handle is straight and the other side is flared (concave in the middle).
I want to know the logic behind this and also how to use this grip to get the maximum out of it?
The sculpted handle is designed to keep the bat stable in your hand. For instance, a straight handle doesn't keep your bat from sliding out of your sweaty hand. The curved side goes "down", and the straight side "up". This designates which side of the bat is the backhand and forehand side: you won't be "flipping" your bat. The anatomic and flared handles provide the same type of stability in your hand, without limiting you to using a single side on the forehand and backhand. Of course, flipping only comes into play if you have different rubbers on either side of the bat. Hope that helps.
