The Y grip is ergonomically correct and once a player gets used to it its hard goin back to regular grip frames.  Anyways I'm HUGE fan of Mags so with that said 9/10 it wants the hAir so bad it can taste it but its not out!!

I love Ygrips.  They are soo comfortable and they let you shoot really fast.  A very nice setup overall.  That deserves at least a Reloader B though...

Retarted grip, but the rest of the gun is cool.
Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts?

Wow...for someone who hacks up 98s your pretty closed minded to something different. To everyone who hates on the Y-grip, I've dry fired this gun and its suprisingly comfortable. It just feels right when your holding it tight. Yes it looks wierd, but its all about functionality. If it works for her, that's all that matters.


But what I do I do because I like to do.

Hacking up a Tippmann and twisting your wrist up to hold a gun properly are two completly different things. If you are holding the gun properly without a drop you have to twist your wrist up into just as much of a contortion act as you do with a regular 45* grip with a large drop. You can't comfortably grip the Y or Z frames without a drop and fire at your hands full potential.

You put the muscles too off axis and are just straining and wasting energy to pull properly.

I am all for different things, but I certainly do not condone stupid pratice or designs that hold back the human machine.

I guess if you just play ocasionally and fan the trigger or only pull with one finger without reguard for speed, it will work. But I have never had as much luck with a goofy 90* or -45*+ grip over a normal, properly distanced 45* grip.

Actually the point of the Y, Z and 90* grips is that your wrist isn't bent. Ever tried one? I have, they work. So, you're pretty much just wrong. Nice try though.

I have tried them. They don't work if you cradle your tank between the crook of your elbow and your torso. at that point, with no drop, your palm is at 45* with your forearm. You can't deny human physics.

It will however work if you rest your tank against your shoulder with no drop, but then your hopper sticks out way over your head which is just silly.

Try as you might, you won't convince me that a grip like that will improve a tight and proper speedball technique.

But what ever, you don't have to agree with me.
