The Y grip is ergonomically correct and once a player gets used to it
its hard goin back to regular grip frames. Anyways I'm HUGE fan
of Mags so with that said 9/10 it wants the hAir so bad it can taste it
but its not out!!

I love Ygrips. They are soo comfortable and they let you shoot
really fast. A very nice setup overall. That deserves at
least a Reloader B though...

Wow...for someone who hacks up 98s your pretty closed minded to something different. To everyone who hates on the Y-grip, I've dry fired this gun and its suprisingly comfortable. It just feels right when your holding it tight. Yes it looks wierd, but its all about functionality. If it works for her, that's all that matters. -------------

Hacking up a Tippmann and twisting your wrist up to hold a gun properly are two completly different things. If you are holding the gun properly without a drop you have to twist your wrist up into just as much of a contortion act as you do with a regular 45* grip with a large drop. You can't comfortably grip the Y or Z frames without a drop and fire at your hands full potential.
You put the muscles too off axis and are just straining and wasting energy to pull properly. I am all for different things, but I certainly do not condone stupid pratice or designs that hold back the human machine. I guess if you just play ocasionally and fan the trigger or only pull with one finger without reguard for speed, it will work. But I have never had as much luck with a goofy 90* or -45*+ grip over a normal, properly distanced 45* grip. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

Actually the point of the Y, Z and 90* grips is that your wrist isn't bent. Ever tried one? I have, they work. So, you're pretty much just wrong. Nice try though. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

I have tried them. They don't work if you cradle your tank between the crook of your elbow and your torso. at that point, with no drop, your palm is at 45* with your forearm. You can't deny human physics.
It will however work if you rest your tank against your shoulder with no drop, but then your hopper sticks out way over your head which is just silly. Try as you might, you won't convince me that a grip like that will improve a tight and proper speedball technique. But what ever, you don't have to agree with me. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

I've tried them, they don't work for me and a lot of others will agree with me. Maybe not here, but what ever. Stick your forearm out straight and put your hand inline with that. Now let your hand just sit naturally, don't extend or clench your fingers. A nice 45* angle forms between your palm and your forearm. There is a reason why all firearms, and almost every marker has a 45* grip. Human geometry dictates that a 45* grip frame with your wrist straight is the most comfortable and efficent. Calling me names surely won't change my stance. I have held just about every gun out there on the market. Just because I don't own them, doesn't mean that I don't know what's up. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

Nope, I was talking about a rail/uni setup too. They don't just work with d/f's. The reason real firearms have 45* gripframes is because you don't hold a real firearm like you hold a paintball marker in speedball. When tucking your eblow in and staying tight the y/z/90* frames really do work. I have no clue why your wrist is bending. There are a huge number of people who own these style gripframes and it works for them. If for some reason it doesn't work for you then you must have a very strange physical deformation. But don't have us believe that the gripframes don't work period, you are the minority in this case.

Ok, you may or may not like them, but look at this pic...
That's pretty typical for a tourney player behind a bunker. Look at his wrist. Does that look like a normal/comfortable position? No. Put that grip on and his wrist will turn to a slightly more natural position. Have I used one? No. But it makes sense. I don't think I'd use one out in woodsball or scenario games, but for tourney markers I think it could have some merit. |

As a tourney player I'll tell you that sometimes the way you hold your gun isn't very comfortable. For me persoanlly, after a long day at a tourney my arms, wrist and shoulder hurds from my gun and 68/45 tank. I've used the "Y" grip before and IMO it just doen't feel right. -------------

Hah ha, ok. He might, but I highly doubt he knows more than the rest of the industry, who all use regular 45* grips sans WDP. But I'm done here. I got this off track enough. It's a nice gun, I am intrigued by Mags, I just can't stand goofy grip frames. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

The rest of the industry uses 45* frames because TK has always been ahead of the curve. Let's see, AGD invented these ahead-of-their-time products: Compressed air/HPA tanks Warpfeed Z-Grip Powerfeed They've always been ahead of the curve. Along with others such as Craig Palmer and Colin Thompson, TK is one of the brightest minds in paintball. People who flame his products are usually extremely close-minded. Just because something looks wierd isn't a reason to bash it. Also, just holding a Z/Y/90* setup is not going to prove anything. You have to play with it. If you've actually played with it and gotten use to your wrist being straight instead of bent, and you still don't like it then you're really in the minority. Most people would rather their wrist be straight, comfortable, and relaxed. But anyways, you have the right to your opinion. Just don't try and make it like the design is flawed or it's just hype. That's when it becomes not an opinion but unfactual. The design does just what it's supposed to do. I don't understand why you'd want your wrist kinked up in a wierd position, but to each his own. Again, great looking setup. Your wife is a good catch! ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

I believe that marker already has a Y grip on it and he still has his arm all kinked up. Hey, I said I am fascinated by Mags. They have had some really great ideas over the years like the Powerfeed and Comp Air, but I still dont agree with their Y/Z frames or the Warp. I don't like forcing myself to shoot a gun with only one hand. You should be able to shoot just as well with both hands to be a superb speedballer. The Warp limits that, but it is still a darn cool idea. It's just a bit too much extra crap to add onto a gun that is supposed to be light and versatile. Just because people are ahead of the curve doesn't mean that everything they make is a godsend. Palmer Pursuit, man, they have really come out with some superb stuff. I am not demeaning them in anyway. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

No that's an E-Mag. You can't put a Y/Z/90* frame on an E or X Mag... yet lol. The Y/Z/90* does not force you to do anything. It frees up your wrist if anything. I'm not saying you can't have an opinion about how it feels, but the fact is it really does straighten your wrist. You really can't dispute that. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

Look at that picture closer. That really looks like the grip bottom is angled forward. Oh well, maybe it's the picture angle playing tricks. I don't know Mags that well.
I do know that the Y grip doesn't work when I am using my normal hold style. But here is something that really irkes me about Mags, if they are so advanced, how the hell can't they come up with a reasonable gas line routing system? That big old hose hanging off the side always bothered me about my ex-teammates Mags. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

But i still got the intelliframe planning on the logic later vert later but oh well i can't wait for my mag to be done oh yea that's a deadly mag your wife has nice ups and colour sheme tell here to keep it up.

No offense meant, but AGD has been an innovating force in this industry longer then most players have been alive. Their approach with that frame made it a very coveted accessory for the mags. Perhaps you just arent used to the style of play where that kind of grip would make a difference. But to someone thats into mags and likes ripping on a trigger, the y frame is a godsend and more companies should look into similar designs
