Do not buy Direct Hit!!!! Terrible product, check the most recent reviews at this site. Very rude service, they absolutely do not deserve your business.
Doesn't work with any size barrel. It actually stuck in my Tru-flight.
Brass Eagle has Direct S**T! beat by 10,000 miles! At least it only breaks in your barrel!
A damn fool

Despite waht draggin says, i used the paint before, and loved it. It fits perfectly in ne .688 barrel(boomstick, j&J two peice) and never breaks in ur barrel, but always on the person. Id recomend this paint to u without a doubt. Give it a try, its onyl 40 bucks a case, i did, and was happy.

Good Stuff. Only 40 bucks a case and free shippin till the 4th. Get some now =) The only thing that sucks is that it will make the people you hit look pretty fruity with all that pink on em hehe.

What you expect out of a ball when there sec's.If you really know what sec's are you'd know what I am talking about. Also you can have you name put on any kind of paintball if you order eough of it.Yes there alot of diffrent paint out there but they also run paint for other companys and put there name on it.They'll bag and tag the box for you even.
All you got too do is call a place that makes aftermarket balls and they'll set it up.As far as low price for paint yes it is . But I buying mine under what the stores are selling them for right now cause the club I joined sells at cost.You'd cream in your jeams if you ever knew what the price of paint goes for.Sec's by the way are not defects off the line .The stuff is heated back up and formed and run again.thats sec's. Deforms are them white boxes with out a name that are diffrent sizes etc.On sec seams are mess up or out of shape.
This is how the recope money on waste so that the cost or over head isn't pass onto us,as a player.Alot of companys do this too save on cost.They will also put anyname on a box etc.Theres a black ball called sinper paint out there.Our field sells it as there field paint.It sucks but the thing is Brass Eagle makes it but you don't even see there name on it.So as you can see you can have paint with any name you want on it.

creek you have no clue what a second is !! first of all when is the last time you seen seconds with tournament fill ? you also lied when you said dan from ace paintball does not know me....but the real test of your voice would be to back up your statements as to seconds with a large money bet....I already know the answer so whatever amount would go into escrow and the proof would be the winner....now are you willing to back up your big mouth?
yes it is true that we no longer will sell DH at less than $40.00 per case ...it will be marketed for lots more and the paintballer can thank people like yourself for that deceision....major brand will take formula and new colors and raise price and then it will be what creek and a few others wanted with their false accusations...
I will make more money ,but that is not what I wanted to do...I waanted paint we all could afford....
btw/if you have a bad run they are not sent back through to make them bad a second time...get your facts straight and then open mouth!!

So your basically saying that Direct Hit was crap all on its own?!!! Please tell us who the big name is so that we can avoid it. DS make Brass Eagle look primo by comparison!

draggin you are another of the people who does not know his a$$ from a hole in the ground...just follow the crowd like all the people who know nothing about paintballs or how they are made. draggin ....where did i ever say it was crap....i shoot it and only wish one of you big mouths would take my offer...put your money or your dads where your mouth is...the paint was never crap..what was crap was the people like you that could not see value ...say what you wish!! you will pay more for the same paint and love it...only this time b/c it has (brand name) you will smile as will I...

Many ppl like this paint, and i have never bought a case. but i have tried the free sample they sent out, and it wasnt the greatest. but for 40$ a case its good practice paint, personally i wouldnt use it in a tourney.

check my review. Bought 1000, got tired of garbage after trying 900 rounds so threw last 100 rounds were it belonged (which is were I shoulda threw the $40, would have saved a lot of time... and hassle).
After last review mixed 100 rounds Brass Eagle and 100 rounds DS. Put them in hopper, shot at 12 inch target at 50 ft, marker in brace fired at slow rate (fire see ball hit, fire again). Results make my assesment stand, Brass Eagle shot better, more accurate, didn't stick in barrel or hopper, actually hit target, actually got to target area.
But, its all a moot point now.

amargio1 you can say what you want too say I don't give a rats ***.As far as tournament fill the stuff stains and in pan am that make it illegal to use,so as far as that goes you can't use it.
And funny thing is I didn't get the info from Dan about your paint ( maybe he dont want too amit knowing either). It came from a place that makes and sells paint so you can say what ever you want and rip off who ever. The thing is I got a right to voice info I hear also, So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Plus I am not the only one that talking about the paint your selling so hammer us all I don't care .As far as betting don't waste my time with you kiddie reply's. (60 act like it) And I didn't say the reran bad balls to make sec's. The mat. thats left over is rerun not the whole ball.Also I seen tourny paint in secs,its not the paint its the shell,also they will mix alot of paint too gether too get a run out of it.
And as far as lie's go look at yourself frist. Like I said before to you I don't need too lie.Seems funny that you can't get the paint under the name you sold it as ,Must be ture that you did try too pull the wool over peoples eyes.But what got you all tick off is some of us are not falling for it.

tony, why are you still defending your paint? I thought you were just going to sell your stock of 2nds and run? Or are you going to now sell the "real" balls put out by the mfg. company now that there up and running and worked all the kinks out? That would explain why you are raising the prices a proportional amount. You should spread the word, because all the people who realised they were out of round and stuff didn't know they were seconds. Then they would give the firsts a try. Oh, and don't think because I didn't use any swears in this post I'm sucking up to you you two-timing con artist.

andrew that is just the post I needed from you according to my attorney...newsgroup is one thing but a forum is another.....you had better tell your dad to prepare for suit for libel/slander and a multitude that goes with it...
with that said ......enjoy the new price when it (hits),you won't even feel it....
for every one else in this forum I apoligize a great deal....I needed this post from andrew...
he is super angry b/c i refused to sell him paint on two different occasions...
that is why he is bashing on every forum...this is the guy who is costing the people who did like direct hit to have to pay more...
funny how a 16 year old who is playing 5 months can start wars...
dragin...maybe you did get a bad box,i do not know that answer...but all you had to do was call me,I would of done something for you...
we are closed now so just be patient and the paint will be back ...new colors and marketed a little different...of course my only part will be in royaltys.
to the people who bought...thank you very much...you did NOT buy seconds and andrew will find that out soon..

okok, this topic has been beat into th ground, over and over again, lol. I'm done with it, I'm going to new jersey for about a month and I decided I'd leave on a good note in here. I'm sure when I get back it still won't have blown over, but c'est la vie. Adios

Ok, guys, im really confused here. The only main reason im comfused is r going on about this stuff beoing seconds or whatever, and all this stuff i dont understand, but i bout a case of this paint, and it as perfect. Thre was nothing wrong with it, they shot great, and worked perfetlyin my boomstick. It was great to be able to buy a caose of paint for 40 bucks that never borkein an lp gun, now im pissed becasue i cant ne more, i dont really care about this enetire seconds thing, bla bla bla, all that im pissed off about is that i bout good paint for cheap as far as im concernecd, andn now i cant buy it ne more?
Oh yeah draggin, if u had probeloms with the paint, all u needed to do was talk to amragio1. My first came with 3 bags busted, so he sent me more because i was really interested in tryiny the paint, and it was fine. IM still realyl confused though bout this entire thing, what was going on that promtied this thing, the paint seemd fine to me.

I bought 2 cases of Direct Hit not knowing if they really were good or bad. And I found out that they were better than any other paint I had used previously (Proball, Proball Platinum, Big Ball, PMI, and Team Color). I used these paintballs at a local field Shooting them with my Spyder TL and stainless steel 2-piece AA. I never had any ball breaks and every single shot broke on impact!!! I bunkered 4 people that day and had 0 bounces, that was a great experience!!! go buy some now from PAINTBALLGEEK.COM!
Ohh yah they are Bright and Accurate as hell!
