My local paintball shop ran out of "midnight paintball" last night, and the seller adviced me that "Mystic Reign paintball" is better than midnight paintball and its 5 bucks cheaper.
I decided to try it out, and it was the worst paintball i've ever used. Every single paintball were breaking, & paintballs were going every where . I lowered my velocity, and still responding the same way. I changes my barrel to flatline, and it got even worst. I finally gave up , and gave away the paintball to someone else.

Don't always assume that the store owner/worker knows best. Unless you are good friends with him and have had many good experiences with them.

how would changing your barrel to a flatline help you from chopping balls?

That sucks. Bad paint can really dampen a day of play.

If you field owner is open to suggestion on paint, have him get som RPS Zen. It truly is great paint.

Sometimes your balls break in your barrel.
