XBall Gold Series - It's pure "XBall", formulated for the very fastest R.O.F.* guns on the market (*rate of fire). XBall Gold reliably breaks on impact and marks with pure intensity.
FILLS: NEW XBall Gold's carries a payload of heavy orange fill, delivering a dramatic visual report on arrival. (XBALL, PSP & NPPL APPROVED)
SHELLS: XBall Gold is brittle enough to get ultra-reliable breaks on Players, yet endures screaming-fast volleys of fire encountered by today's top shooters.
BOX: Procaps' classic "StrongBoxT": 2000-round 4x500 case. Stand on it! |

| Review: |
This paint is amazing. I have been shooting Xball bronze and silver mostly and decided to step up and try gold since it only costs $3 more than the bronze for a case. Holy crap, this paint is freakin awesome. It is much more consistent than the bronze and is even better than silver. The fill is rediculously thick, I shot my friend in the head and it was like hair gel he could not wipe it out. A couple games later the ref tried to call him out becuase his hair was still orange, haha! I went though a case yesterday and I did not have a single bounce. I was shooting through my CP .689 and I might as well have been a sniper this stuff is so accurate. To sum it up: low price for very high quality balls, extremely accurate, thickest fill ever, no breaks in barrel, broke on target every time. What more can you ask for? |
 |
| Conclusion: |
To state it simply, this is the best paint I have ever used and at only $43 a case from Action Village you can't go wrong. Buy this paint. |

i've used the cheap stuff and it didnt work nearly as well |
 |
| Marker Setup: |
Diablo mongoose II reincarnation LED, 20z co2, Empire reloader, smart parts linear. |
 |
Recommended Barrels: |
I'd recopmend mosr aftermarket barrels because my experience with stock barrels chopped like every 10th ball. That stopped when i bought a smart parts linear. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
I loved the fact that the balls actually fly perfectly straight. |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
They can break a touch to easily are a bit too small for some barrels. |
 |
| Review: |
These balls have made a major impact on my game play in terms of accuracy. I used to play with whatever paint i could get my hands on but I wont anymore. These balls do not wing left or right when shot at a distance like some others do and theyn are soft so there are more ball breaks. They are a tough to soft though. I dropped a few off the table and one broke... not normal? Anyways, I was hittin heads like crazy last i played with the paint. Another thing i like is the thickness of the fill. It is right easy to spot and harder to wipe away.. lol.
|
 |
| Conclusion: |
Overall, i give this paint a 10 compaired to every thing else ive used but i wish they were just a tough harder...lol. |

| Review: |
This paint is definatly what you want to get if you want the finest quality of paint. It doesn't break in the barrel, has a great thick orange fill, and it doesn't bounce off target (it breaks on target). It helps in accuracy and consistency with shots. This is only a few bucks more than the Xball bronze or silver, and is better than both of them. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
If you can aford them($50 a case) then get them. But if you really want to save then get scorch(not as good). |

| Review: |
I've been using Xball gold for almost 1 year and I've put at least 13 cases through my cocker and I have never had a ball break (knock on wood). NEVER! Hard to believe, but true! None of my cases have ever had a broken ball in the bags or any mishapen, deformed balls. I have played on days when temperatures were in the upper 90s with high humidty, and days where temperatures were in the low 20's and snowing. No matter what the weather or temperature, these balls performed perfectly and consistently. The paint is bright and thick and the shell's seam is perfectly smooth and flush with the rest of the ball. And it always breaks on your opponents. The bore size of these balls is .688. I use a .688 Dye boomstick and the balls fit snug in the barrel making shots amazingly accurate. Xball gold is a step or more up from Xball silver and bronze. At $42.77 @ xtreme paintball or action village, these are by far the best balls on market. Tournament grade balls at a mid-grade price. Can't buy 'em at the local shops cuz they charge almost 70$ a case for these bad boys. Although their worth it, why pay extra? |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Best balls period and they only cost $42 bucks a case. Hells yeah! |

| Review: |
These paintballs are great overall. I purchased theese from a paintball website called action village for $45. These are the best paintballs in the entire world for $45. Many people will tell you to get blaze or karnage or gap but by far x ball gold is the very best, and one of the cheapest. One of the greatest part of these paintballs is that no matter what they hit they will always break, but they never seem to break in your gun. Every paintballers dream come true. There are no weeknesses at all on this product. It is the best paint i have ever used. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
All in all if you have any commen sence you would buy theese paintballs. The price is to good to resist. On the rating scale you can only give it a ten but i would give it an eleven. |

I have turned all of my friends over to xball gold, they have been using Draxxus and Evils and they agree with me that will the price and the quality you can't find a better ball. And we use a wide array of markers, e99 avant, Fenix, Imagine 2k4, 98 Custom, tippman A5, and a DM5 |
 |
| Conclusion: |
For the price, it is the best ball on the market right now |

| Review: |
These balls are the best I've used thus far in my paintball career. I love them at 33-40 bucks a case (usually 60 bucks but i am a bargain hunter) and they actually break! I have played with other balls that bounce off people and these break more consistently than any other ball i've used. However, they are made for high quality guns, so if you are using a cheap gun than you will hate these. My friend has a junky spyder and he can't use these or they break a ton!
However, I have an average of one ball break per case BUT---i shoot fast with double trigger and only gravity fed hopper (thus, the reason for my empire reloader 2 i am probably going to order). They are gold and orange and look sweet outside and in.
|
 |
| Conclusion: |
Get this if you have money, otherwise Draxxus sun flares are the way to go at 40 bucks a case. |

| Strengths: |

| Weaknesses: |
Can't feel recoil when hit with it. |
 |
| Review: |
I was able to pick up a special on these and got it for a steal of a price. Excellent marking characteristics and it broke on everything. Refs were even impressed on how it broke on every bunker in sup air ball. Very accurate and excellent thick and bright colored fill. Very hard to whipe off when hit with it.
The only bad thing I found is that it is so brittle that when you get shot in the hopper with it, the player my not notice they got hit because there's no recoil when you get hit. You pretty much have to shoot someone in the goggles before they believe you that they got hit. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
I would highly recommend this paint. It's right up there with Ultra Evil if not a little better. It's pricey but well worth it if you're playing in a BYOP tournament. You can't cheat with this paint, no whiping ability. It has a very bright thick fill and you can see a break on a player at the farthest distances. Very sturdy ball in the hopper and the gun, never broke anything out of 12 cases I shot of it. Can also handle the ultra fast shooting capabilities of any high end gun. |

| Review: |
Very impressed with the Xball Gold (now DXS Gold) paintballs. These paintballs shot straight with no dents to speak of. The paint has a nice brittle shell with Hellfire formula fill inside that is tough to wipe. I never had any bounces with these balls, after seeing paintballs flying at someone they would walk off seconds later.
Overall these paintballs and a great buy, Procaps does an excellent job being so smooth and consistant with their paint.
Thanks for the great product. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Excellent paintballs, would recommend to anyone I wouldn't be playing against. Never break in the barrel, always break on the opponents. |
