Comments on EEric22's Review

EEric22 Monday, May 23rd, 2005 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 4 of 4 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 4 years Similar Products Used: Anything RPS Blaze Some generic white-box crap Marker Setup: Pro Ts G3 Egg 2 w/ z board 2k3 E-force frame CP regulator twister barrel Pure Energy 48/3000 Recommended Barrels: Well I was using a CP 2 piece and a st!ffi on them. Strengths: Great, bright, almost seemless shells Weaknesses: Dipplefull which makes them very innacurate Awful fill Review: I got a fresh box of these at a tourny, these being their only balls available. I cut open the case to see nice thick packaging and no broken balls. I threw them in the halo and took them to the chrono. The shells varried from box to box being white/maroon and red/gold. The halo had no trouble reading the shells and fed them just fine without breaking any. However, I was dissapointed to see that many of the shells had small to fairly large dimples in them. Once I got on the field they were pretty accurate but I could definitly tell when I got a dimpled one because it would get out of the barrel and curve way off. And no it wasn't after a break and no it wasn't after I got dirt in the barrel from a dive. Another con I found was that the fill was incredibly thin and watery, at least in the white/maroon shells, which broke (big supprise) white. The white fill was hard to see and faded extremly quickly. Luckily no one was wipping but if you tried you could take a few hits from those and get them off yourself without leaving much of a mark. Conclusion: Overall the shells were a bit to hard, they didn't like to break, even on trees. The dimples effected the accuracy greatly and the fill could have been much better. On the bright side the shells were seemless and the packaging was nice. Also they didn't have black shells. For 60 bucks a case I wouldn't go for it like it was at the tourny but if I can pick a case up for 40 bucks for practice, it would be hard to turn it down. If you can find a good deal on the balls, get them... but only for practice. Rating: 7 out of 10
