Well dimplses dont mean chopping paint. A dimple means chopping paint. Its just like if you covered up half the dimples on a golf ball it wouldnt work as well. To do this to a paintball there is probably a very precise way that you have to make them and a precise pattern. I personally have never heard of this. But I am doubtful. Mainly because extra distance isnt all that important in speedball and thats what most companies focus on. Plus this would increase the cost of paintballs. -------------

Dimples Who the idiot who came up with this idea.....The paintballs wouldnt be accurate at the speed it is goin with dimples in the paint, it would curve. I had experiences with dimpled paint, and its not fun. -------------

^^^^no uve had experiance with paintballs with 1 or 2 dimples, but when there are evenly spreadout across the paintball, i dot think it would make it curve ------------- PRo/CaRBiNe 12 in.

if they came up with a way to do it it would be almost required to get them or you wouldln't do as well, but it would be almost impossible to afford. It would suck  .

there are a few problems with dimpled paintballs, namely that a gelatin shell is incapable of holding that shape for very long ------------- GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!! |
