| Review: |
A couple of my friends just started playing paintball and got these paintballs in their packages. They came without dimples and seemed to have a very even seam. In about 80 shots I broke 3 balls, but being the newbie I am I didn't have my squeegee with me and just turned my gun upsided down and dry fired, but they still shot ok after that. The fill is nice and thick so I don't think you'd be able to wipe it. But I wouldn't recommend these for tournament balls. If you are a recball player they are pretty good quality at an ok price. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you are into going into tourneys and having big competitions then these probably aren't for you. But they are good for everything else. |

i use a cp barrel which works pretty good. I would recoomend that you get a new barrel because you will see the difference. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
there is a lot about this paint that is good. for instance, if you take your eye off the ball for a second, they will not see it. I even see myself losing the balls that I shoot. They are pretty tough and have some really good paint in them. compared to some of the other paint that I have used, this paint is harder to wipe off. (i don't cheat, I just know this as a fact) |
|
| Weaknesses: |
the shell is a little oily. that can cause some problems when you shoot it. Other than that, I haven't had any major problems with the paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is defenitely one of the best paint I have ever used. I would buy this paint for all of my playing in a heartbeat thanks jt for making such awesome paint! |

| Review: |
The best part of my experience with these is I only bought 200. The only ones that broke were in my barrel. They look kinda cool but don't buy these. They suck. I'm glad I was using a stock barrel. After every 4 shots a pink spray would shoot out of my barrel. I thought they would be good but they weren't |
|
| Conclusion: |
They suck. Bad. I broke atleast 150 in my barrel. DO NOT BUY. |

| Review: |
This paint sucks balls
I have never used such bad paint in my life. I bought this paint for 30 bucks for 1500 but ended up just throwing it all away because I might as well shoot air. In fact it would have been better to shoot just air since every ball I shot either got chopped or some how managed to get in the barrel but ended up breaking. |
|
| Conclusion: |
The only conclusion that I could come up with is that this paint sucks!!! |

| Review: |
They have a hard shell. The filling is thick and it looks red but the color is actually pink. I would definitely not use these in a tournament because they don't break very easy. I ordered them off the Internet and when they came there weren't any that broke and none of them had dimples. They were only $12.00 from where i got it but some places have them for $17.00. The seams were even to. The filling really splatters when its hits the plywood I use for practice. It must taste good because my neighbors puppy started licking it of the fence.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
The balls are okay practice balls but I wouldn't use them in a tournament. |

| Review: |
I bought this paint the other day just for team practice. I have always had faith in the JT name, and I was wondering how their more expensive paint shot. I went to practice with this, and I had NO ball breaks or ball chops out of 1000 balls. I was amazed how accurate, and consistant the shell is, and how brittle the shell is. The fill was amazingly bright, and VERY thick. This paint is comparable to evil. I am considering using this paint for rookie tournaments, and practice, because it is tournament quality paint, at a practice paint price.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
GET THIS PAINT!!!
You will be amazed, as long as it is somewhat fresh (hasnt been sitting around for 5 months). |

| Strengths: |
i got them for a cheap price ??? |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I bought a 1000 round case. like 100 actually shot to the target
they busted in the hoppers of all my guns, they busted in the barrels so bad it sludged out the end, they busted in my pods. these are the weakest balls ive ever seen !! we had to just stop the game because noone could shoot anybody |
|
| Conclusion: |
these are useless unless your painting the ground you standing on. no sell in the world would tempt me into buying these again |

|
| Strengths: |
Hmm... Let's think about this. They shoot out of the barrel at 280fps, they can hit a tree from 5 feet away, that's about it. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
FILL- Horrible brick red fill color. Can't see it for anything!
SHELL- Once you shoot it, you have no idea where it is. You don't know where it went, so you don't know where to aim differently this time. Also, very oily.
PACKAGING- About 3/4 of them had huge dimples in them
PRICE- For 54 bucks a case, you could get some WAY better paint.
ACCURACY- This paint's accuracy is awful! Ugh, I don't even want to go there.
These balls broke about every 20 shots in my Smart Parts Progressive
Overall, this is the worst paintball I have EVER used. Zap is better!
|
|
| Conclusion: |
DO NOT GET THIS PAINT! It is horrible! Stay away from it! This paint is totally a waste of money. DO NOT GET IT!
The only reason I give it a two is because it shoots out of the barrel. |

| Strengths: |
everything is good about this paint. I love how the paint is hard to spot while its flying. You can get out there and snap shoot and there is a good chance that they wont see the paint coming until it is too late. That is what has happened to me a lot of times. The color of the paint is good too. I like the purplish fill, and how soft the paintball is but still how accurate it is. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I haven't had any problems with this paint except for the broken ball in the bag, which was my fault, and the brass eagle paintball that got into one of the bags, which was hilarious. Other than that, I think this is one of the best paint on the market that more people should buy. |
|
| Conclusion: |
JT, you guys make some of the best paintballs out there. Keep up the good work and i will always be one of your customers!!! |

| Review: |
Well I bought this paint once and wont again. It was terrible, thick shells so wont break on target easily. Thin fill so hard to see hits. Dimples greatly affect accuracy. Only positive thing is that its fairly cheap. But that really is about it. Only use it if you have to as in that it is the only paint your feild uses. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Dont buy it. It really isnt worth it. There are much better paints out there for a similar price. It really is a bad paint. Just stay away from it. |
