I usualy shoot Evils but thats a lot of cash to be forkin out for someone who plays often.
So im wondering what the best cheapest brand would be. Not 1 grade up of wallmart balls, but a decent paint for a good price. Im a woods ball player with a 98C, bigshot barrel. cheers! |

| i found amazing balls which completely went against what i had previously thought. before i would never buy brass eagle balls due to the quality of well... almost everything brass eagle. but the monster paintballs by brass eagle are some of the best balls ive shot. they were better than any balls i would even think of buying. i normally dont buy high end balls unless its for something special. monster balls are the best cheap balls ive found. |

the white box crap they have at my field for $25 CND for 2000 are actually really decent paintballs. The occassional crap one, but u just notice them and pick them out.

Zap Tork. it's got a good shell, and it works really good with flatlines and
Apex barrels due to the texture on the shell. it's a little expensive(about $67 CDN for 2000) but it's worth it. XBall bronze is probably a tie with the Tork for quality and price. |

I ummm... tend to use marbles now and then. I guess I enjoy seeing people cry. Just kidding I like PCS, Combat 68 Paintballs. I bought 2 boxes for me and my freind for a day. Not 1 break. They were only like 45 dollars a box to. Cool box too. It looks like a loading box. ------------- Thinking about it... |

12 for a bag. The more you buy, the less per bag it is. Look: http://www.anythingxtreme.com/XBall-Paintballs-C2983.aspx - http://www.anythingxtreme.com/XBall-Paintballs-C2983.aspx A case of Xball Gold for 43 bucks is a STEAL. Especially considering it is one of the best balls, at any price. |

| No. The paint comes just as fine as any other store. Some may be broken, but you get that no matter where you buy it from. |

| I get Draxxus at Sports Authority for around $40.00 for 2000. The cashiers have a fit when I open the case in line to check for broken balls but I tell them it is better than the hassle we will go through if I open the case on the other side of the register, find broken balls then get back in line to do an exchange. |

WPN Weapons Grade for $25.  They usually go for $35. If you like evil then you'll like WPN Killa Bees or Elixir for $40... No Limit paintball in SoCal has the best deals I've seen so far on WPN paint.
