Im planning on getting a new barrel. Im going to be using it for speedball mainly and a bit of woodsball. I can get a Titanium Boomstick from a friend for 80$ (he go it at 140$ so not much of a lose fo him). Does anyone recomend buying any other barrel or should I stick with my friends boomstick. I only have about 120$ btw and I'd prefer not to spend all of it.

For $80, I'd get the Boomstick. Just make sure it's in good condition and all.

Yeah I had a look at it. I checked the recipiet my friend gave me and it is a titanium DYE boomstick. I didnt see any scratches or marks on the inside of the barrel and only a couple marks on the outside of the front.

If your friend doesn't mind, ask if you can try it out, and shoot a few balls to make sure.  Or if it can be done like a pool stick, roll it on a flat surface to see if its straight and true.

That's a waste of money. There are far better one peices for a lot less.

If your deal falls through with your friend, don't give up on a DYE. Go for an Ultralight. Same performance as a boomy, just lighter and less money. They're around $70-80. DYE > Smart Parts
