| Review: |
I traveled three hours from pennsylvania to ohio because they were the only file dholding an event that day. it ws worth th trip. the two refs we had were fair and alert. the owner was a great guy, we talked for a while and he was very appriciative. the two young ladies behind the counter were very nice and efficient. some places take thier time but they filledmy ai up and gt me back in the game in a timely fasion. thefiled is small but fun. they are in the middle of town, so they made due with what they had, and they pulled it off. me and my wife had a blast. they has door prizes and competive prices. didnt get to play on the indoor field but i wanted to see it and the refs took the time to show it. i am going to go back to this field becuase they know what they are doing. To the owner and employees of intense paintball- well done |

| Review: |
This was the first time in a few years that I have been to Intense, as I am getting back into the game. Not much has changed except the airball field and hyperball field have been switched. All in all, my experience was very good, just like every other time I have been here. I kind of hate pbreview sometimes, because the only people that write reviews anymore are generally people that didn't like it. Evey time I get on here I see people complaining about paint prices and safety rules and everything. If you are used to buying crap paint at Wal Mart for 20 bucks and playing ball in your backyard, then your going to be mad when you have to pay real prices for real paint and follow some rules. I think Dan and his family get a bad wrap because people that have good experiences go home and just for get about it. The only ones that review are mad because they want paint for $20 a case and don't like it when they get yelled at for breaking rules. Seriously, how hard is it to keep your mask and barrel cover on? In short, I had a great experience at Intense just like every other time I have gone there. |

| Review: |
I will make this as short and simple as possible. The refs and employees are rude, why this is I have nooo idea. They did however help me in fixing my gun and installing a new board. The fields obviously suck but if you want to get back at the employees for being so rude, just enter a tourney their team is in. I don't know which is worse their fields or their factory team haha, sorry its just the truth. Every time I heard them cursing around little kids there i gave them an extra shot in the back when i bunkered them. |

| Review: |
The safety rules were normal and the staff was great and the owner was very helpful. The field is mulch so theres not much slideing for smaller groups the fields can be seperated the ref was great and very informative.
My Only discrepency i had with the place was that some of the bunkers were just caked with paint. But other than that I will most likely be visiting this field again. |

I played at this field 3 times and this is what I think of the field.I'll start off with the negatives. They are to strict on rules and the lady their is mean. I understtand safety is important but one time I brought my 23 year old cousin and he forgot his barrel cover and the ref grabbed him and dragged him back on the field and yelled BARREL COVER SIR!!! I think that was way out of hand for them to do that. Also the reffing sucks. I had a private party and hired 2 refs and the one left half way through the party. It's pretty pricy after a day of paintball you spend about $50. The positives are that the field has a pretty nice pro shop and the owner dan shiring is a very nice guy who always tries to answer your questions and help you if your having problems with your equiptment. Also,this field has 2 indoor fields and an outdoor field the indoor field is great for winter but the lighting sucks. All in all it's an ok place to play but if you go their prepare to hear alot of rules and to be yelled at. This is my honest opinion and i'm not trying to trash this fields reputation in any way. |

| Review: |
I used to play at this field for around 6 months. At first i liked this field and then it turned. The people that own it seemed stuck up and dont seem to really care about their customers. I feel that their prices are high for what you get. Their field is of poor quality. first off the field is small. the bedding is all mulch so you cant slide. the mulch itself is horrible because of all of the old paint mixed in with it. The ceiling is dripping water constantly. every 20 minutes or so the bunkers had to be reaired because you couldnt use some of the bunkers durring play. their outdoor field i only played once and it was a hyperball field and i only like airball. they're employees are pretty nice. if you ask them to they will help and a few will give you pointers for play. all in all i would suggest playing in the rain or snow.

| Review: |
I went to Intense expecting things to be good. They make the field sound great on the site but when you get there, the place is really a dive.
The shop is not bad, but after going to Intense and dealing with the employees I would never give this family any of my money again.
The woman who ran the register was not only stuck up, but her daughter was aswell. They were both rude and there was an elitist vibe I got from them. The prices were decent, but that was pretty much it.
The refs were some of the laziest refs I have ever seen in my life. In all my years of playing (7 total,) I have never seen refs who cared less than the ones at Intense. Literally we were stuck picking teams ourselves and they only would say 3 things the entire 4 hours I was there. "Are you ready? Game starts in 3-2-1. Game over." They truly did not give a crap about the players. They stood in one spot the entire game. Why even have refs if they do NOTHING.
The field itself was layed out well, but the ground is terrible. There is close to nothing on the ground for padding. It is literally just compacted dirt which is as hard as pavement. I wore some kneepads and walked out of there with a gigantic bruise on my knee, even with the pads. The other people there did not slide at all because they knew there was no padding on the ground and it would hurt too badly. The lighting was very poor also.
There was too much downtime between games. They only way for the refs to even get games started was to see us all on the field waiting for them. They never once talked to us in the staging area.
The other people I came with also felt that Intense was a horrible field. We shared similar feelings that the refs did not care, the owners were not friendly. and the field was horrendous.
I would not suggest anyone goes to Intense. Even when you are desperate to play indoor, I would recommend traveling anywhere other than there. I will never be going back.
EDIT: Here is a picture of the bruising to the horrible floors at intense paintbal.

| Review: |
I have been playing for a year and This was the first place i went to play paintball. I had the best time i ever had. The Refs are awsome, when they are waiting for people to come in and play they will give you some advice,play around and have fun with the players waitin, but when it comes down to the matches they are always find people that are hit and try to wipe.Marry Lou (Owner)will be there when you come inside and help you get started. She will get you a waiver to sign off on. She will go over all the rules and then help you get set up.They are strict with their rules. They have rental Tippmann98's and everything you need to play other than paint for $15. Paint is reasonable. It is useally $15 for 500, $25 for 1000 and $49 for a case.They have fill stations for both HPA and CO2 Dan, (the owner) Zack ,and Stephanie (Their Children) are all Certified Techs. They know alot about almost every gun out there. They can find out whats wrong with your gun and give you good prices in order to fix them. They have a Pro shop that has alot of used and new products for sale. And what ever they don't have they can order it for you and get it for just about the same thing you can get it from the Name brand dealers and you don't have to pay shipping as if you ordered it ofline.Anything you order is useally in between 1 to 2 weeks.
Their fields are awsome. They have a Big speedball field that they just switched from the small field. The small field is now full of Hyperball. They run a net down the middle so you can play 2 games at once. The lighting is bad somedays but 9/10 times that i have been there they are great. They also have a outdoor field for in the summer. It is always fun to get out and slide around on the grass. The indoor field is mulch for a floor. Its slippery but it is still good to play on.
One thing that is good is since they get a wide variety of speedballer and woodsballers and newcomers to paintball is that they try to divide the teams up so they are even. If you were like me and have a 98 or A-5 or some woodsball gun you can still go up against us Speedballers. One rule there is not to over shoot people. Both refs and Marry Lou keep an eye and ear out for people who over shoot. Try to come up and play and see that what i have told you on here is true. These guys are the nicest people you'll meet. The owners and refs are all very nice. If your new to the sport and want to go somewhere where you can have fun the Intense paintball is the place for you.
Go and play and maybe one day you'll go from wondering about the sport to loving the sport and remembering that Intense is where you learned to love it.| Last edited on Friday, May 23rd, 2008 at 2:46 pm PST |

| Review: |
I have been going to intense for a few years now and i can say this place has changed for the better.
field: They have got more light in the indoor which has a huge effect from what it was. They changed the hyper ball field to the smaller side and the speedball to the bigger which is very good if you play speed ball so you can play bigger games..and its great that its out door and indoor. that way if the weather is bad..who knows what it will be in ohio..you can always play indoor if its bad out side
service/proshop: very good prices on every thing..they have all the basic stuff for every gun almost. and if theres a part that they are sold out of or dont have they will order it for you and you can get it from intense in about a week or two.
staff/refs: Very good staff they have 3 smartparts techs. and they can work on almost every gun out there. when you get there mary lou goes over all the rules which are the basic rules. but the whole place is very strict about them which is good for the safty of every one.the refs are there to inforce the rules. but they are pretty cool people. they will have fun with everyone whose playing..the refs are very help ful..to people with marker problems. Dan is the owner of intense. he is very knolegeable of the sport and is a great guy just to talk to| Last edited on Friday, April 25th, 2008 at 10:09 pm PST |

Ya this field stunk before they moved the hyperball to the small side. the air ball field is great on the big side!! i was just there on the 30th of march and the way the field is set up is way better than the old hyperball setup (nothing against hyperball but the field had to many bunkers). we all know the ligting is not the best but hey i still dont think its that bad its a indoor field and the prices are great so theres really not much to complain about. the XO industrys paint is really good stuff! i was going to buy triump but the lady recomended XO and i thought since it was cheeper id give it a try and it was amazing. shot straight every time not 1 ball break or barrel break the entire day. the pro shop is great and is full of anything you could need. theres a lot of new people here but the refs divide it up as fair as they can and they can have 2 games going at once so its really nice. the refs are all great up there and do a tariffic job! Saftey is REALLY enforced here so if your looking for a safe place you want to be here. the lady really gets onyou about those barrel covers here its really in line with the saftey. the field is mulch but i dive on it all the time and i dont think its that bad. ive wiped out a few times just running but its a little slippery there but all in all this is a great field! i would recomend it to anyone. who loves paintball at a GREAT PRICING with GREAT SERVICE.| Last edited on Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 at 4:00 pm PST |
