Why does the flatline for the a5 completely suck compared to the old one. I mean I know the previous one was a little longer putting more backspin on the ball but you would think the new would atleast stay up to par. Or am I just smoking crack?

I have owned and used both, and i think i can safely say the old flatline is a total piece of rubbish. Ive had no problems out of my A-%'s at all. That 98c one just did agree with me.

My flatline for My A-5 doesn't suck at all, in fact I'd have to say that you have your argument backwards. I never had any luck with the M98 flatline, they can be a pain for someone to install who hasn't done it before. The Flatline for the A-5 is simple to install, and very effective. Why does it suck so much? Give specifics here, so we know what you're talking about. |

i've done tonnes of research on this and found most people agree that they are either equal in accuracy, or the a-5 is better. Maybe you're playin when it's too windy  In a no-wind situation the flatline barrels both have better accuracy than some high quality straight barrels (when hold very straight anyways) |
