Really, I dont feel em much anymore anywhere else but where he described.

The pain never really goes away. Its always going to hurt the same amount, what changes is how you deal with it. Eventually it becomes just a notification that you screwed up...

lol ya same here...now tho i can deal with it enough to not chicken out. heck, sometimes i even stay in if it splatters. im sure im not the only one to admit to it

Yeah, hits are going to hurt no matter what. Most of the time though, your adreneline will be rushing, which will take a bit of the "ouch"-factor out of it.

The pain is always there, everyone should admit that. It is just the pain seems to go away faster because you don't care and want to get the next game going. As long as you don't concentrate on the pain, it won't be there as long.

I love X-ball and I didn't know any of the regs played speedball (except for Gatyr)...or even paintball for that matter. The pain usually dulls down over time. And with a mixture of adreniline, sometimes you won't feel the hit at all.

Yeah, you'd think that with the T&O and Regs posts being filled with
people who don't play anymore. I haven't played tournaments in years,
but still play each month at least twice and try to play speedball for most
of that. I'm getting back into the tournament scene with the Pev's X-ball
league this spring.

I agree whole heartedly with USAFPilot on this point though, while you
may know you've been hit, it usually doesn't hurt as much AND in
speedball/tournaments you play on unless it's obvious.

Yup.

I play for QueenCityKillers, or QCK, out of Charlotte, NC.  We're going to be playing D3, or D2, PSP X-ball, and D2 CFOA Xball this season. 


P.S. I look better than Gatyr, and 7-man isn't as cool as xball.

As your shot more, it hurts less, but your still gonna feel a sting.

when i played tournies, i couldn't feel the hits...  unless i got bunkered...in which, i had a paintball rip my shirt...  i think they where shooting a little hot.  however, i have never cheated.  if i catch someone cheating, i will make the rest of their day miserable.
