i'm have a problem on choosing which ball system to get. i have a tippmann pro with e-grip. i dont know if i should get the cyclone feeder or the q-loader. what are some thoughts with the q-loader that people have actually used. or should i just get the cyclone.

| depends on what set up you want, compact or speedball or what? i'm not sure on the technical specs, but i think i would personally go cyclone only because i think it's a pain in the butt to deal with the q-loader, IMO, easier to reload a regular hopper on a cyclone. |

I recieved a q-loader from a friend that was sponsored for free and I could not stand the thing. Reasons:
I could not stand winding every pod to load. When loaded in the front it made the gun front heavy, same with the rear. I got shot in the feeding tube once and it runined me for the next 20 minutes while I cleaned out the broken balls in the tube. Whenever I had alot of splatter on the tube I had a very hard time gripping the tube to twist it off and reload a new tube. Because I was playing speed ball I could not worry about picking up the tubes right away while in the middle of game play. WhenI went back to retrieve the pods I had found out they were stolen. Not too cheap. IMO the cyclone does the job it was designed to do. I have one and am very happy with it. Some pople have said they have had problems with theres but I have yet to have a single problem with mine. |

I would go with the cyclone. As Simma mentioned, there are a lot of downsides to the "clip" system. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Ya just go with the cyclone because you wont have to do is much to make it work on your gun and it far easier to manage.

I've used both go with a cyclone or center feed with a force fed hopper.
