Butterfly Feint Long 2

Feint 2 is the do it all pip. It's a great all-arounder. It has enough grip to vary spin but not too much (Feint 3) where returning serves becomes a problem. Hitting is also good, since it can generate its own spin. In comparison to other pips out there, I think this one is best for an all-around game, classic and modern defense. Many pros have used this successfully. There are better and cheaper pips for passive blocking games and people looking for "disruption."

Very nice pimples to learn defending. It is very controllable and easy to use. Defending far from the table is its best strength. Close to mid distance is not for what it is designed for and where it falls off compared to other long pimples.

I think this is a much underutilized rubber these days with so many new pips on the market. I decided to commit to learning this rubber over the covid lock-down and can say there are many fine qualities to this rubber. First off, I have used P1r over the years, as I primarily try to play as a modern defender. FLII has a denser sponge which immediately adds some more control when it comes to handling spiny balls. The pips are also much more stiff than the P1r. That being said, with a good chop one can send very troubling balls back to your opponent. My ball tends to fall shorter on the table than with P1-r, this will take some adjustment. These pips (at least in 1.1 sponge) do not provide much in the way of spin reversal, although one can learn to chop-block close the table for deceptive and tricky shots, side swipes also work fairly well. The true power in this rubber lies in the control and the ability to produce many varieties of shots, one can nearly hit like an inverted player (pushes are much easier with this than with P1r or FL3). Great rubber, give it a try but expect to put in the work as it doesn't reward passive play.

an easy to use lp, if you are trying to change from inverted to lps then this is a great rubber to try. also nice spin generation as well as control

Really nice controlled long pip. Displays uniformity in quality and consistentcy. I like as it plays both chop/def and decent hitting abilities. These are essential qualities in a modern defence scenario.
