| Review: |
These paintballs are my favorite by far. They break on target everytime; I have never had one bounce off of someone. They are also very accurate out of my J&J ceramic barrel because I am able to hit a washer fluid jug consistently from about 80-90 feet away. The fill in these paintballs is perfect. The paint is a very bright neon color and its not to thick and not to thin. Its thick enough to be impossible to wipe off, but thin enough to make a very large mark when it hits. Just perfect. I have noticed that the seams are very good, they just barely catch the edge of your thumbnail when you run it over the seam. If they didn't have a two tone shell, you wouldn't even notice a seam at all. They also do not leave a residue on the inside of your barrel. I've used a whole case in one day and never had to clean my barrel once. I looked down the barrel after taking it off, and it was still shiny, with no build up on it. They also wash out of clothes very well and do not stain.
Only a few balls were dimpled, but they were in the bag with the broken ones so can't blame 'em for that. They have a very fragile shell, I got hit in the loader tube and about five broke inside the tube, what a mess that was. I guess that good break on target performance comes at a price. I would imagine that if you got hit in the hopper, they would probably break inside...... that would suck. I've noticed that the paint sweats if the bag that it is shipped in is not sealed air tight from the factory, which happens about 25% of the time. Take them out of the bag, and put them in an air tight zip lock bag and they will be fine after a few days. The sweat gets reabsorbed or something... |
|
| Conclusion: |
Over all, they are great paintballs. They need to be more careful with how they pack and ship these paintballs, then they would get a 10. They need to insure that the bags are sealed properly and placed into the case properly to avoid having the sweating problem and the broken ball problem. I like everything else about these paintballs, I like them more than anything RPS has to offer. The fill is just absolutely perfect, they break on target everytime, and cost less than most tournament paint. That is why I like them so much. Buy a case and try them out, you will be pleased. |

| Review: |
Paint in one of the bags. Dimples galore, bigger bore than .690 but inconsistent size. Ended up using a .694 barrel.
Something wrong with size vs. mass relationship making the balls arc more and curve a lot more. Bouncy!
You'd be better off looking somewhere else for paintballs!
When you get a good batch of these, you might be satisfied... But for me they were dimpled (3 boxes bought), inconsistent in size and mass and just too darn big bored.
When shot through a .689-.690 barrel I broke an occasionall ball here and there in the barrel itself. Switching to a .694 made the day, but they still curved and arced a lot.
Fill is weak and runny.
********
Update:
Have since gone through a couple of cases of this stuff... Some good some not entirely good...
I will agree to up my review from a weak 4 to a VERY weak 6. When these work they are OK albeit a big bore which I don't like.
Shooting them through a .691 barrel seems to work most of the time until there comes one of those occasional beach-balls. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I cannot recommend this product. Xball bronze is MUCH better imo.
Given the average rating of paintballs I've ever used should be 5 on the scale, these are not up to the average for me...
A weak 4 rating this time. Sorry, but they don't deserve anything else.
*******
Update... Rating upgraded to a _very weak_ 6. See my body! (or the review body maybe?)

| Review: |
Very impressed with these balls. Gone through a few cases and had very consistent results.
This paint is very affordable and performs better than anything I've tried in it's price range. Even after sitting on a store shelf, I have yet to see dimples, breaks or seams in any of the bags.
Bright fill, makes hits easy to see from a distance. Not easily wiped.
The distinctive color also makes it easy to tell who you hit once the game is over.
I had very few balls bounce off their targets. The paint broke consistently when other brands were bouncing.
The balls flew straight and true. I can't remember one slicing or hooking more than a foot off target. I felt it really gave me an edge over other players.
I used mixed balls (PMI Premium and Blaze) in one game (someone who was done for the day dumped his hopper into mine) and could tell when I shot the Premium, as my shots were less reliable.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
For low prices and retail store availablility, I got upscale Draxxus performance.
As long as my supplier stocks the stuff, I'll be buying it

| Review: |
This is the second entry budget paintballs for Draxxus, right after the Midnight wich are a 7/10 on my scale. For the price they are verry good but I personnally pay 10$ more to get the Inferno 85$ cnd for 2000. As per my observations I saw that the diameter can vary toward the small size. My last case was like 0.685-0.686". |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy them, they are great all around paintballs. Draxxus is a great company. |

| Review: |
I've used like 3-4 cases of this stuff now and i have got to say that they are the best i have ever used. I never chopped a ball yet and i only jammed twice but i just pull the bolt back and it falls down. The fill is real nice kinda runny but not too bad, it has big splatter too. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy these if you want every thing you should have in a paintball. |

| Review: |
Over the years i've shot all kinds of different paint (several listed above) in a quest to find a brand/ paint type i can use for all around play. What i mean by that is a paint that can be used for competitive rec play and tournaments alike and not require me to have to take out a second mortgage to afford feeding my guns week in and week out. Blaze seems to be the most consistent, affordable paint i've come accross yet. Does that mean it's the best- no, i've shot better. Is it the cheapest- no, you can buy paint cheaper. Blaze is the best compromise of price/ performance i have yet to find. Regardless of what kind of ball you play this paint will work, and work well. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I strongly recommend this paint to anyone. It is the best combination of price/ performance of any i've found. If you haven't yet tried it, get a case, you won't be dissapointed. Since we all know there is no such thing as perfect paint i'm giving blaze a 9. just for reference i'd give marbs a 6 and evil premium a 7 (too much $$$) |

| Review: |
Before I was using Evil paint, I was using these. They are a good, solid choice for you marker, but in my opinion are not the best out there. I like the nice, bright fill, and the price that my proshop offers for the paint. I do get barrel breaks with this paint, but only occasionally... |
|
| Conclusion: |
Would make an excelent practice paint, but for important games I would use something a little better... |

| Review: |
Do not buy if you can avoid it
it is not consistent and flies in s shapes
it is almost too oily in the bag
I need to get more words so this can post and people can be informed about this and stop being lied to by all the 10/10 reviews on this site |
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't buy blaze, get a different line
maybe they are inconsistent and my entire cases was jacked up |

Well i pick these up because they fit in practically all barrels, good price for what your getting. these make excellent practice balls. Come in many different shell colors, paint colors. its pretty brittle but not really that soft. You can pick up a box for about $45 at some places. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great stuff. cheap. great variety. makes excellent practice paint. its not bad quality. fits all barrels |

|
| Review: |
These are one of the best paintballs I have used in a little over two years.These are very easy to follow with the two tone shell they come in.I don't remember breaking one ball in the barrel or anywhere else but on targets. However, they do have a tendency to feel like marbles!!!!!! My brother was shooting these at me when I was behind a tree and they were literally bouncing off!!They KILL getting hit by! I managed to get hit in the back of the head about three out of four shots and wow!! I thought he put marbles in his hopper!!! If for some retarded reason you want instant welts, BUY THESE!!!!!!!!!!! These are not the paintballs you want to use for a rabbit run, especially the "rabbit"!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
These are great if you can take the pain! Remember, you may think it's funny waching the kid get knocked over, but these hurt!!!!!!! Watch were you hit their body, they might not play with you again if they really hate getting hit with these. These are more of a shooters ball not the one getting hit by these. With these, don't spruce your gun up, they hurt real bad!! |
