which is best to get for a 98c.

1) another brand barrel (if so,what kind)

2) or the tippmann flatline barrel system

I play woodsball, so the flatline. The flatter trajectory is wicked.

I love my Boomstick, and Ceramics are really nice, but if you play woods, the Flatline is ultimate.

if you play speedball i would get a dyeboomstick but if you playwoodball i would recamend getting a flatline for one it add on a 100ft it is very accurate if people say it is inaccurate it because they put in on wrong but the reason the flatline barrel is not good for speedball it to big way to highprofile an its not good for closer that 40 or less because the ball is still traveling up

    My two suggestions would be either the Lapco Bigshot or the Flatline.  I have shot both, and it is up to you and your price range to make the decision.

Personally on your 98 i would go with a Freak junior kit,it works well all around,is versatile and is a system you can grow with when you upgrade to a better marker(the insert and barrel front will be compatibale with any other freak barrel system back for another marker)hope this helps.

Go for a Bigshot in the woods. Flatlines are overrated.
Dye Boomsticks are sweet barrels also you can get them off the internet for cheaper than in say a sporting goods outlet. I would definately sport a Bigshot before the flatline though.

get a J&J for speedball, or woodsball if you're hesitant. the flatline's flat trajectory is wicked. only problem with the flatline is that its what some people say, "high maintenance" such as keeping an eye for what paint to use. check the stikies (if they're still there) to see all the facts about the flatline. if not then go with the J&J 12inch(it self cleans!)
