The pips are hard and grip the ball well, so it's easy to generate your own spin. But because of that, you're also more affected by the opponent's spin. If you don't swing properly and make the ball your own, it tends to fly off. Long 2 has more bounce, and even just blocking it reverses the spin decently, so it's actually easier to handle strong topspin drives with that one instead.
Also, the control is outstanding and easy for beginners to handle, but that also means it's an easy rubber for opponents to play against. It's easy to keep on the table, but if your opponent is skilled you'll get attacked hard, so it's tough unless you can create your own variation and grind it out. For these reasons, I'd recommend it to long-pips beginners and advanced-level choppers.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Now inverted on both sides (Experience: ４〜５ years) Not a chopper, but it worked for me

I used this as long pips on penhold.
First of all, it never got overpowered by the opponent's spin. When pushing, the force transferred properly too, giving me powerful pushes.
What I liked most was the chop-blocking over the table. Whether I chopped down or sideways, the ball would go in with wild, biting spin that made the opponent miss. Even though it's marketed for chop, I think penhold long-pips players would find it easy to use too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is my first time using long pips, so I just assumed pips wouldn't get any spin.
But it surprised me by getting more spin than expected.
I was able to do smashes and drives with it too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I'm a chopper and use the thin version on my backhand.
First, the sponge is soft. The pips are soft too, so I think this is a long pips rubber where you can put spin on the ball yourself.Push: Since it's long pips, it doesn't bite as much as inverted rubber, but I'd say it bites well for a long pips rubber. Also, if you don't angle the racket face down, it goes into the net.
Chop: Outstanding stability. It absorbs hard smashes well too.
Punch block: This rubber might not be great for this. Even among long pips rubbers, it's fairly susceptible to incoming spin.
Block: This is also absorbed well, like the chop. Shots land quite short.What impressed me was how stable the chopping is, even among long pips rubbers. If you want to stabilize your push or specialize in attacking, I'd recommend the Feint Long 2 instead.

Control is really good. In particular, even when chopping, you can aim right up to the very edge of the table. Pushing is surprisingly easy too.

Backhand chops are extremely stable with this. The drawback is that there isn't much variation. I'd recommend it for beginner choppers.

Feint Long 3 (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Might be close to Curl P4…

I'd been using the Curl series up until now, but I wanted to try something new, so I gave Feint Long 3 a try.
Here are my impressions from using it.Push: Against strong backspin, you seem to need to chop a bit harder than usual. Also, if you don't chop cleanly under the ball, it won't go in.
(Since it doesn't fly much.)Chop: Very stable, but it feels like chopping with short pips.
Drive: The ball grips the rubber well, so it's very easy to hit drives.
Block: It stops the ball fairly well.
If you're on the fence about it, this is a rubber I'd want you to try at least once.
