It's called the Apex. It's made by Ben Tippmann.

it has ridges in it, so that air can flow under the ball to spin it. |

I've heard good thigns about the hop-up. Apparently distance is comparable to the flatline, with somewhat favourable accuracy over the flatty. Also remember that a well-tuned 98 flatty will get better perfoemance than an A5.

Different principle than the flatline but results are similiar.
Distance is comparable to a flatline. Accuracy is better than an A5 flatline at 100ft. Accuracy from 110+ft is pretty negligible. I own a WarSensor WS66 (well, I'm selling it) and it's a pretty interesting how it works. Given it's design, I would expect it to shoot curves when tilted to the side (like that of the Tippmann Flatline), for some reason, it does not. Can't quite explain it. |

It must be because the design fails to spin the ball to the same degree as the flatline. |

Makes you wonder though. The hopup barrel gets comparable distance to that of an A5 flatline (I'm assuming it's the same for the 98 flatline, I don't know anyone with a 98c/flatline setup).
Could the Tippmann flatline be further improved to impart a spin that achieves the same distance but with less of a degree of spin? Maybe a new flatline barrel designed should be in the works (non-apex barrel). |

i still favor smooth bore. i play tourney and speed and i tilt my marker into the bunker. this would throw a flatline off. I think the hop-up might be the next barrel type of the woods-scenario world though. |

98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.
