No. Get an All American. When you play speed, you'll need the accuracy.

Yes, then just use the stock barrel (or buy a cheap speedball barrel)for when you play speed.

If you're getting in2 speed ball don't get the flatline. Thats just wasting 100$. But if you only play woods you could get the flatline.

Go for the Flatty. Even if you do plan to play a little speed, it'll work fine, just play back.

For once I dont agree with you simply cuz when your playin speed you need well SPEED so yea dont get the flatline its prone to ball breakage due to its design. (well now that i think about it i do agree with you just diff terms haha.) O and the best barrel IMO is the Lapco Bigshot 14 inch.

when you get a flatline no other barrel can even come close to it

flatline is accurate and gives you more range

go for it. to respond to the first post, the AA is a good barrel, thats what i use every now and again, great accuacy, perfect for what ud need. Its a great Woods barrel too. I play woods, and occasionally speedball too. the flatline is a good barrel, i prefer accuracy over range, but thats me.

No Apex NO Flatline.


They are ok and all, but not a good speedball barrel.

Get a lapco bigshot, all amaerican, j&j ceramic, tear drop, a barrel kit or something liek that.


you will be glad you did
Sig is WAY too big.
