Well, I dont know what a "pro game" is but I suppose you could. If you mean speedball that I wouldnt suggest it but you dont have to buy a whoule new gun. If you planing on going pro(which isn't likely to happen) yes you'll need a new gun.

Heh, going pro.

I assume you mean speedball. If not you need to get yourself checked out. You dont just pick up a gun and walk onto the field and say your a pro.

But anyway, if your gonna make a switch from woods to speedball I would suggest a new gun but its not absolutely needed. If your playing against people with higher end guns you will probobly need to make a switch. I would suggest playing some speedball before you get a new gun though. You can usually help your team out but your not gonna do much shooting that slow.

If you mean going pro in speedball then I would assume you'd already know the answer to this question.

Well if Tippmann Effect isnt a "Pro Team" that uses 98c's and A5's in speedball tournaments, then I dunno what to call them.

Yes, tippmann effect is a pro team but they have a lot of modifications to theyre guns. For the money that was put into those you would be better off getting something lighter, smaller, and faster.

Tippmann Effect is not pro. They are amatuer or something like that.

Well if Tippmann Effect is not considered a Pro Team why are they always categorized as a Pro Team?

Just get the e-bolt for you gun and get a predator board from tagsportz. they're one of the best boards I have seen and they are insanely fast like beyond 40 bps if your fingers can move that fast(I doubt they can but it's fast!)and it has many different modes an whatnot on it. plus it's only $150

Check it out...

listen I was at cousins huppuagge indoor (www.cousinspaintball.com)

and I had my 98 (b-4 my new trilogy) I was smoking almost every kid with new DM5s and shockers. Listen you dont need a new gun, if you feel that you need to cahnge to electro thats fine but how cool would it be to kick everyones ass with a 98?  People would worship you because they know its your skill not the gunz!

Hey Setup:
Tippmann 98
Progressive 14"
Pure Energy 20oz.
Dead on paintball Drop, double tigger
W.G.P Trilogy Competition
V.L Revi 12 volt
J&J 2-pieceperformance 12"
cya on the field!!!
