Ok dose the barrel size and ball size have to match up perfectly??... Take my A-5 flatline, I think the bore on it is .692, what would be the perfect ball size for it? What are some good ball for it. So i guess the real question here is 'dose size realy mater'?  |

with a flatline barrel ou want the smallest ball
possible so it can get a good spin on it. you also need good paint, not brittle, out of shape,or dimpled try marbalizer or evil for flatline barrels. but on any other barrel, you want to fit the ball to the barrel. put a ball down the barrel. if i falls straight through, its too small. if you die blowing it out of the barrel, its too big. you want it to fit snug, but not too snug, loose, but not too loose. i dont really now any other way t explain it.hope this helps. -------------

Don't mean to repeat 20700... but just want to stress the fact that the
flatline is the only barrel that you want a smaller bore to shoot through it. The flatline is a large bore barrel and you want small - medium paint to shoot through it so that the ball is only in contact with the top of the barrel. Paint will break in the flatline if it touches the bottom of the barrel as it starts to spin out the barrel. -------------
