About Feint Soft
Feint Soft (Combined speed 46, spin 72, control 90) sits next to Long II / Long III as a sponge step, not a pimple-geometry step. Thicknesses include OX / 0.5 / 0.9 / 1.2.
If Long III felt too lively on a chop, Soft is the in-family answer. If you wanted more disruption, Grass D.TecS is a different catalogue.
AG is another Feint SKU. Super Anti is antispin. Read the pips guide before you glue the wrong disruption.

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.
