| Post subject: | could be a ilegal feint long2 |
last week i played to a pushblocker usi g feint long first impresion the red pip was slightly red dark and when i played it was very deceptive for feing long almost like grassdtects even more when he Bh brused with soft looping the ball was very hard to return . do you think it could be lp treated or the rubber could be an old sheet that plays like frictionless? How do I deal against players who brush with lp? I have played to curlp p1 players and never gave me so nasty balls |

Feint II has been in production for a long while, so it would be possible for a really old sheet to have different properties to a new sheet, even without someone "altering" it to change its properties. It could also have been another variant of Feint, there have been a number of them over the years. I almost never discard a sheet of rubber, but put them away in storage when i move on to something different. My feint II would be nothing like a new sheet, since the last time I purchased one was probably 20 years ago. As I understand it leaving it in the sun, using chemicals, microwaving it all can change the properties of the rubber. Back then I used to speed glue (very lightly) my Feint II. Pretty sure looking back that it made almost no difference on the 1.0 mm sponge I was using then. If balls came back differently off of his Feint Long II then one of these things may have been happening: 1) altered/old sheet of rubber (could even be some of the pips were partially broken at the base) 2) skilled opponent -- some people develop very good touch with long pips and can be very deceptive 3) damaged or out of round ball -- this didn't used to be much of an issue, but with some of the 40+ balls it is If you have someone to practice with who would be willing to help you could buy a sheet and get some practice in against this type of return from the Feint Long II. |
