It doesnt matter what paint you get if you get it at dicks. That stuff is cheap and has a hard shell so it doesnt break easy. get anything made by pro-caps I.E. Draxxus, X-ball or Diablo.

Ok, I suggest to try.... Diablo... Draxxus.... RPS......PMI..... My favorite is RPS......only $45 a case.

I know how you feel shooting them marbles, happened to me too..... bought the field paint and it actually bounced off the top of my head without breaking, felt like an acorn from a tree!!

Zap Chronic is $42 a case at AV. It's the best paint I've used to date.

What a coincidence! :eek: Don't worry about it then. Just enjoy the Chronic (which you should as long as it was shipped carefully).

the only thing is, i heard it has slight bouncing problems, is this true?? I play woods ball, which usually has more distance in shots=more chance to bounce?

Well, I play a hybrid woods/speedball, and Chronic was awesome. I used it with my Flatline without breaking problems. The shell isn't as brittle as say, Chronic 420 (a tourny paint), but it doesn't have any noticeable bouncing problems.

I must admit my statemnet was misleading, i meant anything procaps; X-Ball or Draxxus, and then i meant or Diablo since their paint is good but did not mean that they are affiliated with Pro-caps.

Ours is outragous 80 for marbs and 60 for el tigre. That wouldn't be such a big deal, but the paint is not fresh.

i think i know what dicks your talking about if its at the parks id never buy paint from there all there boxes are open and stolen from even on markers
speacially when u can just go cross the street to academy and get it wayyyy cheaper (dif brands of paint)

I suggest Zap and Draxxus paints. DraXxus Blaze is very good for the price IMO.

Sorry this is alittle off but is dicks paint old? I always bought marbs from them and they looked good but they curved pretty bad and i was using an ultralite.
