it depends if your talking speedball or woodsball

for woods I would definantly suggest getting the A-5.the A-5 is a far better woodsball gun.  the custom pro is just a 98C with a SLIGHTLY better barrel, a double trigger which you could just as easlily make yourself, and a drop forward.

if you play speedball I suggest the 98 custom . I wouldnt buy a custom pro if I were you. as said above the custom pro is just a 98 with a double trigger and a drop forward and a slightly better barrel. and you will find that later you will probably replace all of them, you definantly would change barrels later, the double trigger it comes with is not the best, and even the drop might change if it does not put the tank "JUST" where you want it. if you play speedball you will end up needing a really good hopper, one other than a cyclone so when you move on to another gun you can still use the same hopper. not to mention the whole deal with that huge feeder sprocket on the right side of the gun with the a-5s cyclone which is not friendly for swapping hands to shoot around both corners of a bunker, it blocks your line of sight. also if you plan on actually staying with this one gun forever then the custom is better for speedball for reasons such as the E-bolt.

so basicly, Woodsball A-5

Speedball 98 custom (not the custom pro)

Yes, even though this is against the rules:

I know you want a speedball gun, according to your other thread. So,

The affordable way to go is a 98c. Then get the E-trigger, a nice hopper, a Uni, and if you have the money, go HPA. Do body modifications if you wish(free)

The super way is to buy a used Ebolt, a nice hopper, a Uni, HPA, LPK, and a center feed. If that isn't fast enough for you, modify your Ebolt for a 2-way ram, Matrix board, and a timmy ram. Do body modifications if you wish(again, free)
