Strengths: Cool mascot, Breaks on contact, Very accurate Weaknesses: None so far Review: I just bought this paint today from a local paint store, and it rocks, I shot about 750 balls and it did not break once in my mechanical autococker. Its flight path was flawless. If it were not for my stock reg it would not have droped so much at the end, but that's my gun not and the paint. This paint absoulutly will not dimple! no matter what conditions I store these in, theyy will not deform Conclusion: Buy it, buy it, buy it this is definitely the best the best paint on the market for its price. It is a tourney grade paint for a rec paint's price.I would give it a 20 bu I cant seeing how 10 is perfect. Who ever says this paint sucks eathier got a bad batch, or they are blind, Rating: 10 out of 10 Last edited on Tuesday, June 21st, 2005 at 12:31 pm PST I found this review   2 Comments - Add Comment

dkeeler Tuesday, January 17th, 2006 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 5 of 5 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: Xball bronze - almost as good, but not quite Xball gold - best of the three Marker Setup: WGP 04 prostock cocker w/ many upgrades Diablo wrath (some upgrades) Recommended Barrels: Any .688-.690 My boomstick is .688 and it matched perfectly Strengths: Awesome price Accurate Fast Good shell/fill Great packaging Few dimples Weaknesses: Zero Review: While Xball gold is a step up from the Silver, this is still great paint. I bought this stuff online for 41 bucks a case! The paint performs like a champ, its very accurate and always breaks on your opponent. I never had any bounces or gun breakes! The seams are perfect and there are almost no defects of any kind. The shells are metallic and super smooth allowing them to feed perfectly without any problems. This stuff works great whether you are playing woodsball or speedball. Conclusion: Great paint (perhaps one of the best) at an even better price.

Lopez17 Saturday, February 10th, 2007 Period of Product Use: 2 years 4 of 4 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: I've used pretty much every Draxxus/Diablo, RPS/PMI and ProCaps paint out there. Marker Setup: I shoot a 2K5'd GZ, Excalibur, Viking, Texas Storm, Ripper, Ripper 2 and Ripper 3 Intimidators. I run a Halo or an Empire Reloader B (and now a Pulse) with a PMI Pure Energy or Crossfire Tank. Recommended Barrels: I've used CP's and Stiffi's and I shoot dead accurate ropes with X-Ball Silver paint. Strengths: Incredibly consistent paint with a bright, non-staining fill. Weaknesses: None. Review: X-Ball paint is my favorite paint to shoot throughout the year. I've found Silver to be the the best all around paint. It's just brittle enough that it's going to break when it hits something and the fill is thick enough that you'll clearly see when it breaks. The shell is durable enough to use in woodsball or airball. It'll break cleanly on people while not breaking on every twig in the woods. It'll also shoot consistently and crisply while aiming at small targets on an airball field. The paint is consistently round and the seams are even unlike other paints. The pricing is reasonable when comparing it to other paint in this price range. It's a little more brittle than Bronze and less than Gold and is a nice mid-grade paint for practice/recball. Conclusion: A top notch paint at a reasonable price. Great for all players. Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

Smartparts Progressive 12 Volt Revy 48c.i. Pure Energy Nitro Recommended Barrels: APEX Freak Jr. Freak Progressive Strengths: VERY Consistent Cheap Bright Fill No Manufacturing Defects Cool Logo Resist Aging Weaknesses: Fill a little thin Review: These paintballs rock! These are very cheap and very consistent. +VERY Consistent I didn't have a single wild ball with these paintballs. They made very tight groups time after time. These also curved great through the APEX consistently and without any problems. +Cheap These are very cheap everywhere I've seen them, including fields and retailers alike. +Bright Fill The fill in these is an almost chartreuse yellow. It was very obvious when someone was hit, even through the woods. +No Manufacturing Defects Not a single ball had any defect of any sort. Also the seams on these were hardly even visible or even able to be felt for that matter. +Resist Aging The paintballs I used I had since Christmas worked like they were brand new. Not any problems associated with age in paintballs like soft shells or dimples. +Cool Logo The logo for XBall is pretty cool. I know its not a strength but it is eye catching. -/+Fill a little thin The fill on mine was a little thin, but I think it was from their age. Conclusion: All in all these are great paintballs. They are widely aviable and i'd highly reccommend them to anyone. Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   2 Comments - Add Comment

longbeachyo Monday, October 23rd, 2006 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: Zap Spank = 9.0 (cheap and accurate, occasional bad bag) Jumbo = 7.0 (Not so accurate) Rps Marbilizer 8.5 (accurate but expensive) Marker Setup: Tippmann A5, E trigger, Flatline Recommended Barrels: NOT Flatline Strengths: Consistency... very few balls if any were ovular. Decently priced. Weaknesses: Explained below... Review: Let me just say that I've shot about 7500 balls through my flatline since I've had it. I've tried about ten different brands of paint now. I've never had a break in my flatline until last Saturday. I bought Xball Silver because of the great rating on this website and the decent price on Action Village. I feel bad putting a blemish on this brand, but I feel that this is useful information that many flatline users would like to read. I don't know if it's how all Xball paintballs are produced, but they are textured on one side. I think that is why I had multiple breaks. In fact it's the only thing I can come up with. As soon as I changed back to the other brand of paint I had no problems. If you compare the feel to other brands, it does feel a bit rougher. I can only assume that the roughness between the barrel and the paint did not mesh well, which is why I'm giving this product an average rating. However, my friend who also has a Tippmann but uses a smart parts tear drop barrel said he experienced no problems at all with this brand. Conclusion: I would not buy this brand again to use with my flatline due to balls breaking in the barrel. Rating: 6 out of 10 I found this review   2 Comments - Add Comment

fcatman Sunday, April 29th, 2007 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: SIMILAR ONLY LISTED: X-ball (the Walmart version) GameFace Visual Impact Marker Setup: Spyder Rodeo (Primary marker) J & J Edge barrel kit CO2 Zap / Archon Hopper gravity fed 32 Degrees spring kit Evil Delrin Bolt / Stock bolt with venturi removed Bandit high flow valve ACI Griffin with stock everything (Was my backup, but it's worn out) Zap / Archon Hopper Syndicate Paradox ELE Spyder Rodeo stock barrel, maybe my J&J Edge kit Zap / Archon Hopper (The Revvy on this marker would be ironic) 32 degrees remote thick hose Recommended Barrels: J & J Edge kit Strengths: Consistent breaks, unique colors, thick fill Weaknesses: Certain fill colors. Review: The GOOD: Fill thick as snot. Reasonable price. Consistent breaks. Flew straight with proper paint to barrel match. The BAD: The blue color fill I bought is not very effective. On most color clothing except for black it was barely visible, despite seeming to be bright when test fired. Especially hard to see on grey clothing / masks. BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT: Maybe the other colors are better. I have had good overall experience with ProCaps paint (see my list above). Conclusion: Try it for yourself, maybe in a 500 round bag before committing to a case. But I do not recommend the blue fill. So I won't trash on the paint entirely, note my rating. This is not a rant forum. I did send ProCaps an email politely explaining why I think the blue fill is junk. Rating: 8 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

JT354 Saturday, April 29th, 2006 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: PMI Premium- slightly larger paintball, good shell, terrible fill. 8/10 field paint- blows! 0/10 Marker Setup: Tippmann 98C J&J Ceramic Barrel Cyclone Feed 20 oz. C02 Recommended Barrels: Works best in a medium sized barrel, but it should work well with most barrels. Strengths: Accurate Cheap Fill Doesn't bounce Weaknesses: Weaknesses? Review: Great paint! I got a case for $44 from my generally overpriced local shop and it has worked very well. I've put 500 of these through my gun with only one break, and every shot is dead on- 5/6 hit a one foot diameter tree from 100+ ft. The fill is excellent- it's an extremely bright yellow color that is easily visible. I haven't seen a deformed or dimpled shell yet, and these paintballs almost never bounce. Conclusion: Buy this paint now. Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

martinsmythe Tuesday, August 16th, 2005 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: Diablo, Zap Primer, Zap Spank, Evil, PMI Flash Marker Setup: Tippmann A-5A2 air thru stock with WorrGames remote air, E-grip, 12" Lapco Big Shot barrel, offset rail w/reflex sight. The "giant killer". Recommended Barrels: Any standard / medium bore, .689, good quality barrel. Strengths: Consistent consistent consistent Weaknesses: Huh? Review: This is my first experience with Xball, I had ordered the Bronze for some woodsball play, but were out of stock and sent me the Silver instead. That was the first pleasant surprise, cause these balls ain't nothing but the bomb. They are made by Procaps in Canada (where else) and packed into a 4 compartment box to minimize shipping damage. They are packed in HEAVY plastic bags. They are a two color shell, one side being the grade (Bronze Silver Gold) and the other side being the fill color, in my case a bright green. The shell is tough, but will break from 6ft drop to a concrete floor. The seam is about as perfect as a seam can get. They consistently measure .686 to .688 inches in diameter, just about perfect for that .689 barrel. I shoot a high pressure 98 Custom and an A-5A2. They shoot equally as well out of the Thunderpig barrel as they do the Lapco Big Shot, and that is very accurate. Hitting a old aluminum sign about a foot square at 100ft with every shot? Try that with any old paintball, and you will be disappointed. These Xballs are incredible, I will buy nothing else from now on. I was able to find them on a popular website for $42 case. They don't break in the barrel, and the ball is FULL of bright, thick fill. Good splatter qualities too. In my opinion, these are the best value out there. Conclusion: Go out and buy these bad boys. If you play woodsball, the Bronze may be more suitable because it has a thicker shell. For all-around use, the Silver rocks. You may find more expensive paintballs out there, but I doubt you will find better ones. Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   1 Comment - Add Comment

Wafflesx Friday, May 27th, 2005 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: x.o. vein, zap chronic, chronic 420, formula 13, big balls, pmi premium, inferno. Most ever kind of paint Marker Setup: 03 Black Shocker, ndz V3 stinger bolt, Horizontal Maxflo, ndz Clamping No Rise. Recommended Barrels: progressive; all american Strengths: No dimples Bright hard to wipe fill Broke on target not in the barrel Weaknesses: Brittle shell color ( can get different brighter shells) Review: This paint i got on sale for about 39 a case. Which wasn't bad at all. When this paint arrived i had a total of 2 breaks in the bags. So i emptied out the bags and wiped down the paint so it hopefully wouldn't swell. The paint was a really thick fill. It was hard to wipe off. I tested a couple of balls in a drop test and the balls broke from about 10 feet in the air. That surprised me a lot because normally paintballs bounce at that height. Me and my brother went though about a case of these in one after noon. These paintballs shoot amazing. really accurate and i didn't have one bounce all day. I never even broke one in my barrel. My brother on the other hand broke about 3 in the end of his barrel. ( i think it was because i hadn't set up his impulse yet). My shocker shot these paintballs amazing. The paint to bore match on my all american was almost perfect. And for the price of 40 bucks you can't go wrong. Conclusion: This is a very good paintball. Accurate, breaks on target, and a thick slimy fill you can't go wrong with it. In recent weeks i have seen the price jump up to 45 though so i would really consider xball bronze at 37 a case. ill give it a 10 because i personally did not have a single problem with this paintball.

paintball crazy Sunday, September 3rd, 2006 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 2 years Similar Products Used: Tiger streek Dusk Spank Zap Monster balls Big ball Heavy Metal Marker Setup: spyder victor 2 marker smart parts barrel cheap hopper Recommended Barrels: Any good barrel kit, and smart parts progressive gear barrel Strengths: Looks Strength And never choped in my gun Weaknesses: None so far Review: I just started to use X-ball. I went through about 500 balls and not one broke in my gun. It is the only kind of ball that has never broke in my gun. I use to use cheap balls that easly choped, but for a little more money X-ball are 10 times better then something cheap like a box of 2000 monster balls. Conclusion: These balls are awsome but are a little pricy. Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment
