Feint Long II is rated at the lower end of the speed spectrum, which is typical for a defensive long pip rubber. While not designed for outright speed, it allows for controlled attacking shots and effective blocking due to its responsive sponge when used with thicker options. The OX version offers the least speed, prioritizing maximum control.
旋转
The offensive spin generation of Feint Long II is moderate. However, its true strength lies in its defensive spin capabilities. The long, thin, and flexible pips allow for substantial variation in underspin when chopping and the creation of unpredictable spin effects on blocks and chops. Players can generate heavy backspin and deceptive knuckleballs.
控制
Control is a standout feature of Feint Long II. The rubber's design, especially in the OX and thinner sponge versions, provides exceptional stability and predictability, making it ideal for defensive players who need to place the ball precisely. This high level of control allows players to execute consistent chops and blocks with confidence.
持球时间
The longer, more flexible pips of Feint Long II allow for a decent dwell time on the ball, particularly during defensive strokes. This extended contact time contributes to the rubber's ability to impart heavy spin and control. Thicker sponge variations can further enhance dwell time for more offensive-oriented shots.
粘性
Feint Long II does not possess a tacky surface, which is standard for most European and Japanese long pip rubbers. Its grip comes from the pimple structure rather than any adhesive quality.
出球弧线
The throw angle of Feint Long II can vary. Thicker sponges and more offensive strokes tend to produce a medium to higher throw angle, suitable for looping and attacking. Defensive shots, especially chops with OX or thin sponge, will naturally have a lower, more controlled trajectory.
