| Review: |
The New Designz feedneck is a good upgrade for your Spyder. It is half the height of a stock feedneck and straight elbow (yes, I've measured; 3" down to 1.5"). This serves both to decrease your profile by lowering the hopper, and to center the hopper's weight over the gun so that it is more comfortable to hold and run with. It comes with 4 interior O-rings and the outer ring spins down by hand to clamp the hopper in. The neck comes with the screws required to install it and a ball-tipped hex wrench needed for the screws. Even came with a couple nifty decals (w00t for extras.)
Only weaknesses are that the screws will loosen from the hopper weight pulling back and forth, but loc-tite will fix this problem (if you don't remove the neck to clean after every chop like I do, in which case just keep tightening the screws every once in a while.) Also, it tightens but not rediculously, so if your hopper already has a sanded neck, it won't hold too well (I have this problem with my Egg which i bought used and pre-sanded.) And it's a bit hard to turn, depending on your hopper it makes it hard to get at, so you can't get your hand firmly on it to tighten it that last little bit when it's hard to turn. Last, this isn't really a problem, but you have to put the O-rings in yourself. Sometimes they will produce a little lump sticking out and you just have to work at them with your fingers until they roll in correctly, but it's not that big of a deal. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a good clamping feed for the price. It doesn't clamp tightly if your neck is sanded or if you can't get a good grip, but when it's tight you won't ever have to worry about your hopper falling off. Decreases your profile by a lot and centers the hopper weight nicely. 8/10 for minimal problems, rarely do I think a product is 10, so that's a good rating from me. |

| Review: |
I got this feedneck ordered at my local shop and it is very good. It holds my hopper very secure and it seems big enough that when I buy a reloader b, I wont have to sand it any. I can put a full hopper on my gun, turn it upside down, and shake pretty hard before it will fall off. The only thing I've had wrong with it is that the orings keep popping out but thats probably because I dont have my my orings on my apaches feedneck. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would reccomend this product to anyone that wants a good feedneck. It has worked very good for me since the day I got it. |

| Review: |
When I first got this feedneck I thought I could just screw in onto my gun. But since I don't have a spyder I shoud have known it wasn't going to fit perfectly. So off to the drillpress. After grinding down the tabs and that little ring thingy, and a little spraypaint, I got it to fit. Now it holds my hoppe better than ever. M stock one left my hopper wobbly. But with the NDZ one it never moves. I can fit my Evo II in it perfectly and my brothers HALO B. So I just ordered a HALO B and I know I won't be doing any Sanding to the feedneck. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great product. Holds your hopper nice and good and will never let go. It fits any hopper from the VL200 to the HALOB. |

| Review: |
This feedneck is great. I got it used for $30 from some guy but they are $38 at actionvillage. They are very well made and hole the hopper in a deathgrip, it doesn't turn at all. Its short and has threads inside, which help make a very tight grip on the plastic neck of the hopper. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Id recommend this feedneck too anyone, NDZ has really proved themselves to be one of the best makers in feednecks. |

| Review: |
If you can get past installing the four O-rings, you'll love this feedneck.
I had the stock feedneck and vertical elbow with my stock Rodeo, and it sat so high on my marker. My marker's profile was too large, and I kept getting hopper hits on the field because of it. Now, my profile is a lot smaller because the hopper sits well over 2 inches lower to my marker because of this neck.
It's simple: install the four O-rings (the hardest part), install the neck with the stock screws from the old neck, install the hopper, and screw the neck's top down to tighten. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Solid product, very simple to use and install once the O-rings are in, and it holds every hopper I've tried very securly. For $30.00, this is a very cheap and easy upgrade, and will lower your marker's profile when you stick your head out to shoot, resulting in less hopper shots. |

| Review: |
I bought this feedneck a little while ago because II was tired of the plastic elbows breaking, everytime I would run from bunker to bunker I would be terrified that my elbow would snap right off. My field charges like $8 an elbow, so if you save 4 elbows, this ting pays for itself. I also didn't like how high the hoppers sat with the elbow. All those are things of the past with this feedneck
When I first got this, it came in a little plastic box with 4 orings, the feedneck and the collar, and a New Designz sticker. There are no instructions included, but if you're that stupid, you shouldn't be playing paintball. First thing I did was try and get the orings in the feedneck. The upper ridges weren't that hard to get the rings into, but the lower ones required a screwdriver to push them into position. It looks like the feedneck could work without orings, but I haven't tried that yet.
Putting it on the gun was easy enough, just unscrew the 2 screws holding the stock neck on and stick the new one in, screw the screws back in and then screw the collar on to the feedneck. Add a hopper and you're good to go.
When playing with it, I notice I was getting a lot less hopper hits because the hopper was lower. I use a Reloader by the way, and the lowness didn't affect the feedrate at all, I had no chops at all. The feedneck is so strong you can pick the fully loaded gun up by the hopper without the hopper twisting or moving at all. This is definatley should be an upgrade all spyder owners should consider. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very good product, holds your hopper nice and tight, your hoipper won't move, lower than an elbow, and won't break. A good buy all around, it's only fault is the orings, which weren't enough to keep it from a 10. |

| Review: |
This is an awesome feedneck. It is very low profile and it has o-rings for support. The orings do not pop out if you twist the hopper off. It also comes in lots of colors and looks cool. You can adjust it also. The hopper isnt 100% secure, it wiggles somewhat.
The threads are very strong. Nearly impossible to strip, well to me at least. The only bad thing is that its $33.00. Thats alot for just a peice of aluminum. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Go and buy this. You won't regret it. It's worth the $33.00. Very low profile. |

I love this feedneck. It is way better than that plastic p.o.s. that comes with spyders. It sits low on the spyder and it looks good. It also has 4 o-rings so it keeps a nice grip on your loader. This is a great feedneck and it doesn't cost alot at all. |
|

Must buy! |

| Review: |
This clamp feed is what I have been looking for. I have bought so many of those cheap plastic elbows that it is pathetic. The clamp feed is very low and has reduced my profile. It definitely holds the hopper tight and doesn't even allow the slightest wiggle. Overall worth the money, because it is the best out there for all hoppers! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it!!!!!!!!!! |

| Review: |
The Feedneck from New Designz is a definate plus for spyders everywhere, Probably the lowest for spyders ever. Its sick, its nice, and it holds. It has lowered my hopper hits definately so im in the game longer than usual. The best feedneck available for your spyder most definately. Just i had a problem with the screws and it loosening everynow and then. But thats alright just fix it inbetween games and you're fine. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very very nice feedneck, just the screws might be a lil difficult to get in and stay in. Other than that i suggest you buy it and play. |
