    Posted: 07/24/2014 at 2:43pm
I have tried both available sponge thicknesses of Feint Long 3 (0.5mm and 1.3mm) and have come to the conclusion that I want something in between the two. I see that Butterfly makes a 1.1mm version, but it is not available to purchase in the US. Is there anywhere I can find this specific sponge thickness, or have Butterfly's strict export rules made it impossible? I appreciate any help or information. Thanks, CK

Yeah, you're basically screwed. If Butterfly NA (butterflyonline.com) doesn't carry it, it doesn't exist to you.

Butterfly does not allow other countries to ship their products to the US.

If you email Butterfly USA they can probably help. It may be more expensive or take a while.

I guess I'll try emailing Butterfly NA. Otherwise I would need to get some help from a forum member that lives in a place that carries it.

quite a difference between 0.5 and 1.3 version of this rubber,I don`t think there will be much of a difference between the 1.1 and 1.3 and it`s probably not worth the expense,on Donic Defplay I much prefer the 0.5 over the 1.1 which probably needs a stiffer blade and is a bit bouncy on the Defplay,the blade has enough flex for heavy backspin with the thinner sponge imo

I go back and forth myself on which sponge I like better. I do think I have a bit more control with the 0.5mm though, so I may stick with that if I never get my hands on the 1.1mm.

just to add I feel there is a difference between the black and red ,I have both and it seems the black is a little softer/slower/spinnier , enough for me to move over to red with the smooth rubber on f/h

Your comparison of black vs red makes me want to stick with black even more. Do you prefer more the red sheet because it is faster?

Understood now. Looks like we both prefer black.
