First of all I really like my flatline. When set at a velocity of 275 it works great. At about every 1,000, I'll break a ball.

The big problem is when that happens.......what is the best squeegee to use in cleaning it and what is the best way to clean it while playing?

I am a dead man if I try and disassemble the barrel and clean it as tippmann suggests while playing. I have heard of opening the feed elbow and running a wire squeegee thru there and pull out from the top. Not sure if this is the best solution. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks.

The flatline bends, though. You can't use a jerk squeegee. Going the pull through route is your only option, AFAIK.

yea youd have to use a pull thru. jsut get a long one with lots of disk and swab.

I would get a pull through with only disks and no swab because the stiff wire that makes up the swab may be difficult to fit through the elbow.

I have one of those cheap 5 disk squegees that you can get for 6 bucks and I pulled it through the standard feed port and out the barrel of a talon that needed cleaning. So it will most assuredly fit through a tippy 98 elbow, as long as the wire is long enough.
