| draxxus, allstars, ramp...... what you should be looking for is a small bore size and something not that brittle. Also as perfectly round and flawless as possible since the flatline will be putting a spin on the ball and any imperfections will be noticed on accuracy. hope that helps |

I've shot RPS Premiums, Evils, and will try some Marbs this season. -------------

May I have permission to ask this quest? I'm not a newbee to the sport, just have'nt played for a long while...( Tippman Pro-Carbine ) It may sound stupid to most but... just getting back into it ... the paintball 's I've seen recently seem smaller..or is my equip out dated....( Been a few yrs.) Update me please......I'd appreciate it... Thanks... |

Stich: My flatline on my A-5 seemes to like the RPS Prem. and its moody with Evil. I have tried a brand by the name of...Flash I believe it was. I didn't like it. A friend of mine had been using a wal-mart brand name unknown but it has a pic of the Hulk on it and he seemed to like it.
Hawaiien: Some brands are slightly smaller/ bigger but still .68 cal. Unless you have been looking at the .40 cal paintballs. If you are looking for a new marker, I would mention the A-5 "personal choice" ask around if you are looking for info on that. ------------- It sucks being antisocial alone. |

| Has anyone ever analysed the paint size vs speed and trajectory to see what size paint best suits the F/L barrel? The park I play at changed balls and I cant get my speed past 250. Suggest the paint diameter is a major variable.. |

it's basic physics.... maybe the balls are bad or not good quality... there's a forum in the newbies for what type of ball for the f/l barrel...it was saying that it should be smaller then the barrel because of the slight curve in the f/l barrel... and that it would help with the backward rotation... ------------- Don't hate me |
