Feint Long III is a long-pimpled rubber with a soft 25° sponge, rated on Butterfly's separate long-pips scales rather than the speed/spin scale used for inverted rubbers: stability 8 and variation 3. Butterfly describes the effect of its type as pimples that deform on contact to return balls with an unpredictable variety of spin. Within the current catalog's Feint family it is offered in the widest sponge range — this version in 1.9 and 1.7 mm, with separate thin-sponge (0.5 mm) and no-sponge (OX) versions listed as their own products. Made in Japan.
