Straight from Alex Fraige:
"Regarding Angel vs. Shocker, we have felt that our team has been at a disadvantage this year because the Angel has not performed as well as the competitive markers. However our skill level has saved us. Our requests to WDP for improvements has fallen upon deaf ears. Their response was that their markers are good enough, but WDP weren't the players on the front lines. We did not truly appreciate the significant difference between the Angel and Shocker until we actually used the Shocker. We feel that when the Dynasty design modifications are incorporated it will advance our level of performance even more."

Smart Parts Release
Smart Parts, Inc. is pleased to announce the signing of Team Dynasty to its growing roster of elite professional paintball teams. Team Dynasty is the NPPL Champion as well as the Millennium Series and World Points Series Champion two years running. They join two other Smart Parts championship
teams: the 2003 NXL Champion Philadelphia Americans and the PSP Pro Champion team strange. Team Dynasty has chosen to endorse a Private Label Shocker SFT, The Freak barrel system and the Max-Flo line of air systems.
In an agreement that was finalized yesterday afternoon, Smart Parts will sponsor Team Dynasty for the 2004 season and retain the option to extend the contract for the 2005 season. Fans of the new X-ball paintball format should look forward to seeing Dynasty participate in no less than four PSP Series events while most likely maintaining their NPPL and Millennium Series schedules.
Team Dynasty also provided us with the following statement.
Shock the world.
Two-time triple crown champions, Team Dynasty, have recently decided to take on Smart Parts as a major sponsor for the 2004 season. Smart Parts, in cooperation with Dynasty, is developing a Dynasty edition Shocker customized to enhance the performance of the best team in the world. The Dynasty Shocker will be exclusively designed by Team Dynasty to fit their exacting and demanding specifications.
The Shocker, being the lightest and least cumbersome marker available, will give any player an edge. Team Dynasty, a step ahead of the rest, hopes to see this marker available to the general public very soon.
Adam Gardner added, "We are very pleased to add Team Dynasty to the Smart Parts family. They have some of the most talented paintball players in the world and their record over the past few years speaks for itself. These guys have chosen to devote their lives entirely to paintball. It means a lot to me that they have chosen to team-up with Smart Parts."

Owen @ WDP Confirms Dynasty Leaves for Smart Parts
We asked Owen at WDP about the rumors and he said that "Dynasty has told just about everybody else except for us [about the Smart Parts deal], it's a little bit discourteous and unprofessional. It looks like they are going to shoot Smart Parts guns. They left us not because they think Smart Parts guns are the best, but because Smart Parts is paying them a lot of money. That's money that Smart Parts got by suing everyone in the industry"
Owen went on to say that he's heard the deal is rumored to be a cash offer of $100,000. A Dynasty edition Shocker (or Nerve) will be produced and Dynasty will earn $100 for every gun that's sold. Owen estimates that this will bring the team in an extra $200,000 to $300,000. From the looks of it, that works out to $40,000 a player on Dynasty, on top of the $80,000+ they won last year, on top of all the sponsorship cash they get from JT and other sponsors.
Owen said that Dynasty originally called WDP and said Dynasty didn't want to be a Smart Parts team, and asked WDP to match the deal. WDP refused, saying it was a ridiculous deal. Owen suggested that many of the Dynasty players being fresh out of college don't want to have to get 'real jobs' and have the goal of being professional paid paintball players.
Owen questioned whether Dynasty was more concerned with the money Smart Parts had to offer rather than the quality of the gun and the backing of the company. With WDP being so heavily invested in the success and growth of the NPPL Super 7 Owen says WDP "feels that we've sponsored every single team in the NPPL. We had a lot of plans for next year, they did involve dynasty now they'll involve someone else."
