About Feint Long
Feint Long uses classic (non-tensor) sponge with longer dwell and a more linear feel and a pips-out topsheet. Manufacturer sponge hardness is 0° (Classic); a cut sheet is about 26 g. Factory sponge thicknesses: OX, 0.5, 0.9, 1.2. Feint is Butterfly's long-pips family (Feint Long, Feint Soft, OX options) for chopping and disruption.
On the TableTennisReview 0–100 index the Combined figures are speed 50, spin 68 and control 86 (official mapping 50 / 67 / 85). That is a control-first long pips profile for defensive chopping, fishing and disruption. Hardness, weight and thickness above are factory facts — not lab tests.
Community score 8.4 / 10 from 280 reviews. Indicative European street price €32. Compare Feint Long with other Butterfly Feint and long pips rubbers on the same scale, or open the catalogue filters for DEF long pips sheets.

Factory thicknesses
Factory options: OX, 0.5, 0.9, 1.2. OX means no sponge. Combined figures describe this SKU; an OX sibling with its own product page is a different sheet.
- OX
- 0.5
- 0.9
- 1.2
- OX
- No sponge. On long pips this usually means more reversal and a deader return; on antispin it is a very dead ball. It is a different SKU from the sponged sheet when the shop lists both.
- 0.5
- A very thin sponge under pips or anti. Slightly more speed than OX, still disruption-first.
- 0.9
- Thin pips sponge. More controllable than OX, less float. A common chopping thickness.
- 1.2
- Mid pips sponge. Faster chops and blocks than OX; less reversal.
Factory sponge hardness is unlisted on this sheet. That is a missing catalogue fact, not a zero-feel rubber.
