Right now, I play a ton of woodsball.  I use a Tippmann 98 Custom with an air through SAW Stock, an Flatline, a Response Trigger (currently at 15bps), a Halo B Rip Drive, an expansion chamber for my 20oz Co2 Tank, and a PMI Remote Coil.  Every now and then, I'll play lots of speedball, but it's hard to snap shoot with the stock.  I would like to keep the paintball marker and the stock for woodsball, but I want to play speedball.  Should I earn the money to buy something like an Ion?  Or should I find a different method to play speedball with using my 98 Custom?

I would either save up for the ion or just reconfigure your gun when you want to play speedball. One of the greatest features of the 98 is its ability to be setup in so many different ways so take advantage of that. If you know you're gonna play mostly speedball then throw on a drop and take off your stock or something. It would be cheaper to do it that way but if you don't think you can play well with the 98 in a speedball match (some people do) then just get an ion. I would personally stick with the 98 and just set it up different but it's your call.

I'd save up for an Ion. This way you can keep your 98c the way it is and still be able to play speedball efficiently.

i use my tippman for both speed n wood but i dont have it as much upgrades as you so if i new i was goin to a tourney i would just take off the stock during the speedball games. it would take work but it would save you alot of money

I agree.  It would be more money, but if you have it I'd go for the Ion too.
