The effect of long pimpled rubber is maximized when the pimples are easily bent and deformed. The thinner and taller the pimples, the more effective they are. The aspect ratio (the length of the pimple divided by the width of its top) of FEINT LONG II has reached the limits of the ITTF rule.
- Long pimples
Players use Feint Long II

- Better spin variation than Long III

As a chopper, I used the thin version on my backhand.
What stood out was the combination of a hard sponge at 38° on the Butterfly scale and hard pips.Push: pretty consistent. It goes in even without closing the racket angle, and it has decent bounce, so it was really easy to use. Just note that it doesn't really put backspin on the ball.
Chop: whether it's easy to use depends on the person. If you're used to soft long pips, you might feel like this one bounces too much.
Punch block: very easy to do. Since the pips are hard, they're less affected by incoming spin, and because it bounces, it rarely goes into the net.
Block: not much change in spin, but knuckle balls sink in deep, so you can cramp your opponent.
Topspin drive: I tried driving with it too lol. Even against topspin, it felt easy enough among long pips rubbers that I thought "wait, is this inverted rubber? lol"Just my personal opinion, but I felt the pips wear out fast. With Feint Long 3, the pips never tore even after six months of use, but with this one the part where my finger hits wore through in about three months, so I think its lifespan is short. Still, I get why the pros use it.

I use the extra-thin version for backhand chopping
Pushing is easy too, and you can put your own backspin on pushes
The chops have good bite as well.
As expected, the Feint Long series really is stableTry putting this on first, and then
if you want more variation, move to Curl Glass or Curl P1,
or if you want more stability, I think it's a good idea to move to Long 3 or Curl P4.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

It also has great durability for blocking, so it's easy to play defense and it suits choppers well too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

Long 3 has amazing stability, but because of that it doesn't feel very "long pips" and tends to give the opponent easy balls to play against, while the P1 has crazy bite and variation but is hard to control and push with. So I went looking for something in between, and this is what I ended up using. The P4 was good too, by the way, but I liked the feel of Long 2's pips gripping the ball, so I settled on this one. It's a matter of preference, though.
As for performance, while it's not quite as sharp as the P1, it has good bite and variation, and while it's not as stable as Long 3, it's still very stable and easy to push with — overall it's a well-rounded, easy-to-use rubber that lives up to its promise of variation and stability. There are all kinds of long pips rubbers out there today, but this one really makes you appreciate why it's a long-running best seller.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It has a moderate amount of slip to it, so despite being long pips, it's really easy to attack with.
Attacking — It slips quite a bit, but that actually makes it easier to use.
Push — A little hard to put backspin on. Not that stable, maybe?
Chop — The chops bite in well and you can place them where you want. I wouldn't recommend it to beginner choppers though.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

Nameless chopper (Experience: ４〜５ years) First-time users won't feel much stability

Honestly, it just doesn't feel reassuring to use. I'm sure it's a good rubber once you get used to it, but hitting with it just feels off, somehow. That said, attacking techniques are really easy to pull off with it.

Backhand chopping was really easy with this!
Compared to other rubbers, I think you can keep returning the ball consistently!
That said, I didn't feel that much of the typical long-pips character from it.
I think it's good for transitioning from chopping with inverted rubber over to long pips.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
