| The Archon Paintball Proball Platinum Paintballs are newer, so they should be commonly available. |

Similar Products Used: |
Brass eagle (if you can even call them paintballs), Marbilizer, El tigre, 32* Team colors, and a few others. |
 |
| Marker Setup: |
Spyder shutter, Boo-Yaah elcd, 16" boomstick, 12v revy, 20 oz. tank w/ smart parts valve. |
 |
Recommended Barrels: |
Large bore, they fit a boomstick prefectly (but then again, what doesn't?) |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
+WOW
+Really bright paint
+Doesn't stain
+Badass platinum colored shell
+HARD AS HELL (absolutely will not, can not break in the barrel)
+Nice and thick paint, so it doesn't get everywhere and it cant be whiped off too easily |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
-HARD AS HELL (sometimes it wont break on the target)
-HARD AS HELL (friends get really angry at you because these things hurt)
-Doesn't resopnd well to moisture so if oyu open a bag, use it all
-A little pricy |
 |
| Conclusion: |
There's a reason Probal set an industry standard when they released this stuff. It just works, and is the best for a trigger monger like myself who can fire off a lot of shots, so i never worry about paint breaking, because if 1/5 breaks, you're hit. PLEASE DONT USE THIS STUFF IF YOUR A "SNIPER" (a.k.a. wussie) because you are going to make this stuff sting like hell. |

I've used 32* team colors which work good too but i got these for the same price and these look cooler. |
 |
| Marker Setup: |
Black Dragun Basic (blue)
Ricochet AK hopper
12 ounce CO2 |
 |
Recommended Barrels: |
I have only used the stock barrel so far. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
They shoot straight. They usually break on target. Only broke one out of 700 has broke so far but thats because my friend forgot to turn on the hopper and then outshot it.They look really cool. I like the bling bling shell with the pink inside. |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
They hurt like heck if they don't break. I got a giant bruise on my collar bone last weekend when one didn't break on me. That's one I wish had broke.Other then that I have no problem then that.
|
 |
| Conclusion: |
These are great paintballs and if I can come up with the money, I'll keep buying them. The only reason I give them a 9 is that they don't always break so someone gets yelled at when they don't. |

| Review: |
If your playing tournament paintball this is a good paint to shoot.
Shoots straight so that you can actually hit somebody.
You want paint that will break on people, and not in your barrel.
Thick fill so cheaters can't wipe!!!
Stains people's clothes, but who cares about them.
Best paint I've shot in a while.
My team, Cross-Eyed Paintball, will be shooting it at CFOA as our tournament paint. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Breaks perfectly...and not in your barrel. |

angel w/ freak |
 |
Recommended Barrels: |
freak all the way, shoots anything you have to shoot!!! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
it is very consistent and the ball is very well made, i have broken hardly any paintballs, the only reason i switched from powerball pearl was because my team picked up this sponsorship and we had to shoot proball platinum, but i really liked it, shot straight, and had very little problems w/ breakage! |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
i think the shell is a little thick and i didn't care for the orange fill to much b/c it wasn't bright enough but over all i think this paint is great |
 |
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend this paint to any tournament player, but make sure you have a good barrel to paint match b/c if you don't then you will never recieve the performance you need, buy a freak, cost a little more but the amount of balls you break will almost decrease to nothing! |

| Review: |
In South Africa, quality paintballs are at a premium and are often hard to find. The Proball Platinum is no exception. But, you get what you pay for and they are the best paintballs I have played with.
I battled for a little while to find a paintball that matched the medium to large bore size of the Night Stick. The Marbilizers were too small and were causing bad curve and air efficiency.
Even at very high FPS, the Proballs remained shooting very straight, very accurate and hits were landed within a few centimeters of each other from a very good distance away.
When I got my Ion (and used stock barrel) I experienced the same sort of results with Proball Platinum...very straight, very accurate, good breaks and one bright green, thick fill!
I have not had a single barrel break with these paintballs.
I only found maybe 10 balls in a box of 2000 that had a dimple in them from packaging/storage. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
If you're looking for a great paintball for your medium to large bore barrel, this is a great bet! |

| Review: |
I shoot this paint in tourneys cause Archon is our paint sposner and i LOVE IT. I could compare it to Voodoo which is also a great paintball (not in cold weather). I have very few barrel breaks when i use this even when its cold. Over all this is a great paint! |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Very good paint! |

 |
| Review: |
Love this paint. I have used the orange fill and all my friends like. The ones that do not like it are the wipers. It is hard to wipe off and it can be seen at a good distance.
The balls bounce and sometimes they can bounce and bust right in front of you.
Great for woodsball! |
 |
| Conclusion: |
If you are a woodsballer and hate wipers, this is what you want. |

| Marker Setup: |
PMI Piranha with a JB Barrel (extremly accurate I might add) I am a woods ball player so I dont need a high dollar spped ball set up. Everything else is stock. I have a Tippmann 98 Custom with a red dot scope (yes I sight when I play hints the name WOOKIE) I have a flatline attached to the gun and plan on adding a folding stock. |
 |
Recommended Barrels: |
Tippmann Flatline or JB sniper barrel |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
Very accurate,doesnt break in barrel, doesnt bounce and breaks on target |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
A bit pricey...but still extremly good |
 |
| Review: |
I love this paint I am a woodsball sniper and this paint is what every sniper like myself wants. Its accurate,not to pricey, and doesnt chop. It wont break on twigs and this makes it even better since I shoot through bushes. I love this and is you want a good paintball....BUY THIS IT RULES!!!! |
 |
| Conclusion: |
I wont mark down the paint for the price since you should be already prepared to pay more for good paint than s**** paint. |

| Review: |
The owner of Palmetto Hills Paintball, recently got new shipments of paint, we now have 4 types of paint, inkd, proball, proball platinum, and voodoo. The voodoo is really goood, but expensive, I bought the proball platinum, cuz of the pbnation barrel chart that matched my barrel to proball. I played my first game, i play tourneyball, (yes with tippmann, soon to get new gun so quit whining) and woodsball, anyways, it shot really good and i was popping people all day, it had a very consistent flight path. I also like its reasonable price.
|
 |
| Conclusion: |
It is a very good paintball for its price and has a stronger shell which is good for woodsplay, it good still use a brittler shell |
