Butterfly
Feint soft
|
 This
"standard" long pimpled rubber is outstanding for chopping against
topspin drives. The long pips deny topspin from biting into the rubber
and kicking up, instead it returns the opponents spin.
Characteristics:
- Speed: 55
- Spin: 35
- Control: 42
- Density: 25
- Reglue Effect: Not Recommended

Review Feint soft, by Jasper
Source: Forum Thread: http://forum.oneofakindtrading.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=621
Here's my opinion ont the LP I'm currently using
Setup:
blade: Three Ball Allplayer (European shop brand), plays like BTY grubba
all
FH: Tackiness C 1.3
BH; Feint soft 0.6
First of all, though this setup looks like I'm a classical defender, I'm
not. I play close to the table controlled attack with this, following
the advice of my club's only 'serious' LP player: 'play actively with
this, it won't win points by itself!' He was very much right (although
there are no LP that play by themselves...).
This rubber is VERSATILE, it can do about anything you want. (during the
warm-up, I astound my opponents by just giving flat no spin balls on any
of their shots). The pips are very soft (they bend easily) and grippy.
Stronger points:
-Attacking underspin balls: very easy, controllable yet fast
-attacking top spin/no spin balls: EASY, what the opponent doesn't
expect from your LP
-choppin underspin balls: easy, some underspin possible
-chopping loops and flat hits: easy controllable, although not that much
spin reversal
-versatility allow you to dominate the rally and force errors from the
opponent
Weaker points:
-low spin reversal
-blocking topspin balls: controllable, but not spinny/deceptive, so easy
pickings for a good hitter/loop killer (you can avoid this by practice
on placement and keeping it low)
-chop and float is hard, because it's hard to put much backspin on your
chops
I would recommend it for close to the table play, and for players who
want their LP to be able to do anything they want (even somewhat of a
loop from mid-distance). You will have to put a lot of effort in if
you're used to say a Super Block, because it will require a lot more
'active' strokes. If you're a pure defender (mid-long range chopper),
there are way better LP's for your style. |
