This is a very expensive LP with really no benefit over much lower priced chinese alternatives. This is NOT a frictionless LP. It seems to be made for chopping, but really does not give as good of control as I would like. I used it in OX. I have read that some can hit with it, particularly with sponge, but my primary goal with LP is to chop off the table and there are numerous better sheets for this out there and almost all of them are 30 dollars US cheaper

Great pip for modern defenders.
You can play it nearly like a pips in-rubber, because there's a very high friction.
Much control but low deception and reversal.

I am using this LP in Black OX (no sponge) on my backhand with Friendship Higher III 2.2mm on Forehand on Friendship Dynasty 2 Speed Carbon Blade. Using a slightly used rubber. Will be comparing it to Milky Way 955 LP which I use regularly.

This is definitely a get over the table rubber. No matter what the opponent throws at you it gets the ball back, don't need a lot of effort (assuming you use LPs all the time). Chopping and pushing is what this rubber is meant for. Has a slightly rough Pip top so does generate some of its own spin and thats where this rubber's qualities end. Hitting was nothing exceptional maybe even worse. Very little to almost no deception which makes it a LP users nightmare as deception is one of the biggest pro of LPs. Spin reversal was abysmal.

To conclude if you are made of money and all you want to do is chop-chop-chop then MAYBE this might be the rubber for you. But if you want some deception with decent spin reversal there are loads of LPs out there $30 cheaper. Like all Butterfly rubbers (except Tenergy) this is way overpriced.

pricey and has no long pimple characteristics at all--plays like tackiness chop. if all u wanna do is chop chop chop then maybe. hitting below average. block pretty gd but nofin special.chopping is great but only allows 1 return heavy backspin, hard to float. look at stiga destroyer for an alternative

I have been using this rubber now for a couple years. I replaced my Rapid DTechs Long Pips which gave me great reversal but I was a sitting duck when it was time to attach on my backhand. I then tried FL III - I can still chop but not as strong as the Rapid, but I can now attack with my backhand just as good as I can chop with it. Keep in mind that I played with inverted rubbern on both sides for over 20 years. Only been using pips for maybe 4 years. Rating has ramain about the same 2061. FL III is not for everyone, if you were a good chopper and looper to begining with you will continue to do so with this rubber.

you have to know what you want in a long pip in order to play them.....the majority of long pip players look for spin reversal and the ability to baffle to opponent with little effort on the part of the long pip player. However, skilled modern defenders do not require the ability to passively block and get a point...they require consistency, and the ability to manipulate spin from a dead floater to extremely heavy backspin....this is where the rank of deception comes in and feint long 3 succeeds VERY well at this game....fire power due to the grippyness at the table and unparalleled control at the chopping game away from the table, i belive (no offence ment) that the other people who rated this pip were looking for something with much less friction and easier to play with....this is a high friction high level modern defensive long pip and a GREAT one....

I have no issues at all with this rubber. I play classic defense and use Feint Long 3 in a 1.3 mm sponge on my backhand. My opponents are often baffled with the various levels of spin I place on the ball. You have to know what you're doing to manipulate the ball's spin with this sheet. Once you do, it is very effective.

i have 30 to 35 kind of long pips and medium pips and i have 8 kind of blades. off and def blades and trying lots of rubbers, but $5 chinese friendship 755 or 837 are much much better than any over priced butterfly or stiga or any other brand. as i said, i have them all and changing them everyday.

Im a chopper and I use it in OX black and fell in love with this rubber. I felt I cant miss a chop even against the hardest loops... no disturbing effect at all, so don't waste your money If you like to play at table or like to confuse other players with weird, wobblig balls... But I recommend it for choppers who are searching for control, and heavy spin reversal in active strokes.

This rubber is suited for chopping. Contrary to what others have written, this is the slowest, most controllable long pip on the market. The player has a lot of room for error b/c of the soft sponge, which is the softest of any rubber I know of.

Spin reversal is not good. This is both a blessing and a curse. You can generate your own spin, b/c the pip is grippy. Therefore you have more control over how much spin you give back. You must be active with this rubber. Bat angle is also more important b/c the ball reacts more to the incoming spin.

This is NOT a rubber for a passive player/blocker. This IS a rubber for an active defender. It's used by Ruwen Filius and Viktoria Pavlovich.

I can also attack with it, b/c of its grippiness, I'm able to generate my own spin.

Serve return is more challenging with this rubber due to the grippiness. If you watch Ruwen Filius, you can see how he returns serve.

Finally, what I love about this rubber is how much control it gives with chopping. You can modify chops -- giving more or less -- with ease.
