A-5. The Custom Pro was made to be a speedball gun. The A-5 is very rugged and easy to maintain. In a sense, the perfect woodsball gun.

if you wanna shoot 17+BPS now or in the future, the cyclone is added extra. Id get a 98c (Its my gun, im biased). You can shoot faster on the 98 that with a cycloned A5. The a5 allows you to switch out grips, could be handy. Ive heard the A5 breaking more! 98 can be run over. I think it is your opinion though.

A-5

definitly A-5, the custom pro is for speedball. the a-5 is sooo reliable, and with the flatline barrel it is the PERFECT woodsball gun.

Definitly go with the A-5 and flatline

the A-5 uses too much air to power the hopper and woods ball games are too long to give up any air, so get the custom pro

i would get the a5, barrel, double trigger, and egrip and you should be good to go either speedball or woods.  For woods u can sneak a few rounds with turbo = on and then for speedball u walk all over those freakin ions and there stupid eyes.  Half of the time the eyes are blind anyway.  DOWN WITH THE ION

A5 IS THE RIGHT CHOICE WITH A FLATLINE BARREL AND DOUBLE TRIGGER AND A RESPONSE TRIGGER THAT IS THE BEST DESION THAT I HAVE EVER MADE I THINK GETTTING A TIPPMANN A5 WAS THE GREATEST DECION EVER

He meant that he thought the cyclone uses excess blowback gas, so it does not use any more co2 than in normally would.

This is true to an extent. But remember, to power the cyclone, there has to be extra blowback in the first place. The A-5 uses a little more air than it needs to power the cyclone.
