| Review: |
Proshop- Clean, somewhat well stocked. Lots of evil products , little variety. 7/10
Employees- Anyone working in the proshop was very rude and snappy, especially proshop manager. Simple questions were not answered, alot of 'im busy ill be there later'. Only decent guy was the field manager, who actually stopped and listened.
4/10 (only because of the field manager)
Field- poorly lit, couldnt even see the players at their home. 'high quality' turf had bumps and uneven spots. Very dirty, didn't look like it had been cleaned in ages. 4/10
I would definitly not recomend going here, save your money and visit other fields in the area.

| Review: |
I truly Enjoyed my playing time at flagswipe paintball. I went on an open night (speedball players) and the prices were very very good. i think for a case of marbleizers( i dont know how to spell it) was like 60$. the feild is big and very fun to play on. the only thing i didnt like was there was a no cleat rule. And let me tell you, its hard getting from bunker to bunker on a slippery floor.
GO TO FLAGSWIPE IF YOU ARE A SPEEDBALL PLAYER> YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED |

I give the safety a 7/10 because they dont check crono they just tell u to turn it down if there are complaints.
i givethe prices a 5/10 because they are very expensive but ive heard of worse
the rules r ok(8/10)
proshop needs ALOT more selection (its just a bunch of barrels and crap foor cheap-ER guns
the service is a 6/10 because its a "there i helped u now move on" kind of thing |

Safety: 10/10
Very safe.
Fun: 10/10
I had a great time there.
Field Layout: ?
Unsure, I don't play speedball almost at all. However the layout they had when I was there was cool.
Hours of operation: 9/10
Standard hours.
Prices: 10/10
Astonishing prices.
Proshop: 9/10
Wide selection, but the prices are high. The people there will always be very helpful, so I'll give this a 9/10.
Refs: 10/10
They seem well trained, nothing wrong with them.
Overall quality: 10/10| Last edited on Sunday, March 30th, 2008 at 1:22 pm PST |

I love Flagswipe.
The Field is great, the employees are amazing. Great help in the pro shop, and down on the field.
The games are great, and well run, and safe.
I honestly haven't played anywhere else, but I've seen other fields, and few compare. Flagswipe does have by far the best pro shop I've ever seen at a field.
The place is clean, bright, and well organized. |

| Review: |
This is a great overall paintball field they are constintly changing the lay out and putting things in different places everytime i go back. They have a great 50 ft long snake that they constantly change from a twisty angled snake to a straight snake. They also have a huge X that they move from the middle to the sides or where ever, if you are a smaller player people don't expect you if you hide under the X in the middle its a great supprise everyone thinks you will go around it. The staff is great thewy always go through the rules with people fromthe new begineers to the old veteran. They always have the surrender rule for within 10feet which usually works well except if the ne wguys play they tend to shoot so i just kill them 10 time worse with my marker(Diablo Mongoose Reincarnation II) they don't tend to like that very much, but if u get shot from 10 feet it friggin kills so they get it back. overall the staff setup and environment is great. The only weakness i see is the field can sometimes be slippery for the new guys but i love it makes it easy for diving. |

| Review: |
Safety: If anything, the Staff at this field make things overly safe but for new players, that is always better. Safety equipment is a must, and the Staff are VERY picky about the safety rules.
Fields: Indoor - Dedicated to tornoment players- and its awsome. I also see a lot of new players having a blast on it too.
Outdoor: This is where everyone started, and it is amazing.
For the new player, it is a one-in-a-lifetime experience.
Their Biggames/Scenarios are well put together, and get a good turn out.
Hours Of Operation: 24/7 as long as you have a group to play with.
Normal business hours seem to fit well with everyone's schedule; even if you go to school, or are a full time worker.
Prices: Fair. A little lower than other fields in the area.
Rules: They make the rules to keep the customers safe. They are strict on them, but its for a good reason. I have no complaints about any of the rules.
Services: Full Proshop attached to the indoor field. They have a couple of airsmiths, and pro gun techs on staff that can fix your gun without any problems. They are dealers for many paintball companys- and also sell their own line of paint grenades.
Proshop: See above.
Staff: Great bunch of people, Well trained, Awsome to talk to.
I have seen complaints in the past, but not many for the current regular people that work there.
Refs: Well trained, seem to know what theyre doing.
Players: Indoor: Tournoment players. There are certain days on the field that it gets very competitive, otherwise its a bunch of fun.
Outdoor: Dedicated to the newer player, but the verterans are all there too!
Facilities: Washrooms, Pop Machines, Slushee Machines, Candy Machine, and they used to have a arcade machine. They also have a birthday room for parties that come to play, or just people who want to watch can go up and see the field from the top.
Food: They have a deal set up with a local pizza company to get cheaper prices, and the pizza is good. Candy/Pop/Sportsdrinks/Slushees are for sale.
Hotdogs/Hamburgers at the outdoor. and candy.
What else can I say? The indoor field is always clean since they replaced it in March.
The new turf gets cleaned once/month so im told. The bunkers get cleaned after every group, and the refs also shovel off all the paintballs/ paint shells that were left from the game.
Overall, I give the field a 10/10.
I recomend this field.
Talk to ya'later.

| Review: |
I have played in many different types of fields, indoor, outdoor, and some recballing in the woods, but out of all of them, flagswipe was the worst indoor field i have played on. It was setup up nice and had a good proshop, but the staff was horrible and didnt help me with any of my problems(they gave me the old"i will be right with you in a moment" and take off) and they didnt even pay attention to things. I could have walked out of there with the tank they gave me and they wouldnt have noticed untill i was 2 hours away.
Not only this but they made us were these friggin bulky tarp vest things that stuck out everywhere and flapped up into your face when you ran.
I give this field a 4 out of 10 for having a nice setup, good location and good proshop, but the service i recived from the place was horrible and i just didnt overall enoy the experience.

| Review: |
Flagswipe paintball (Indoor) receives a 4/10. The astroturf is slipperyer than a a hockey rink. It is terible. The ref when he payed attention was good. The problem was he never payed any attention. The proshop was very well stocked. The games he had us play were good for the most part. The bunkers were good. The ref makes u wear these stupid vest that not only are uncomfertable but often times deflected shots. |

| Review: |
Flagswipe is the best field ever, i never went to the old one though because it moved just before i started playing. The staff is great, and very helpful (every one of them), they also have a retail store upstairs. The prices are great. The P.E.T.S. tournies that they have there are amazing. You just can't complain
Flagswipe is the best! |
