wow...I sugested the PVC piping the second post (right after his initial post) and if i read it right, he said no to it.  But i still think it's a good idea.

If your technic works for you, then you shouldn't hafta change it because of breaking pods.  Try wearing your pods on ur hip, theat way u won't land on them when u dive or roll

He was wearing them on his hip man. if you roll over, and they're on your hip, then don't you think that you'd roll over them?? The only place to out them so he won't crush them is on top of his head.

Are you flopping around like a dying fish out of water when you play? Why are you crashing into the ground so hard? There is a reason why almost the entire world wears their pods on their back.

I am 6'2" and 185lbs and I don't have any problems with pods breaking. I think you are playing like a jackhole if you're breaking pods this much.

And metal pods are a bad idea. Catch an edge on them and they are going to break bones.

If you want a really cheap pod use pringles or stacks containers they wont break but the paint inside would get crushed

Get someone to hold all your pods and follow you around the field.  That way you could hop, skip, and jump all you want.

But seriously, I am 6'1" and 230lbs and have only broken pods after running them over with the truck.  If you feel the need to run and jump like an acrobat, it may help to utilize your cover more effectively.  The fact that you need to run and dive tells me that you are not being supported by your teammates.  Simple tactics, good communication, and lots of practice will make a huge difference.

Exactly what i was sayin, those wont break unless u like jump out of a tree and land on em, and if u do have to dive and run around all the time u are not getting enough support from ur teammates, i understand if u r up close and have to dive to avoid paint but the most u should run is to just get closer or to a better position, like they said while ago, keep good communication with ur team and know where they r at and u will dominate, unless u suck butt, then ur screwed

they should make pods where they have like a gap inbetween twosections of the outside of the pod. fill the gap with frozen water to keep your balls in the pod good. sorry but i didnt want to make another pod post like this one. good luck with your metal pod idea, but if they're metal it'll hurt if you land on them a lot.
