Got this hopper for xmas and played a couple games with it....it rocks! The thing holds like 210 balls so you back players can be sure it won't run out when it counts. The tilt sensor is awesome for speedball...if you tend to lean out at crazy angles you will definately appreciate this loader! Its fast, too, so you don't chop balls when you lay on the trigger. Believe it or not, I used to chop balls with the Revy...which sucks big time when your only two options are shoot wingers the whole game, or sit behind a buker and take the bolt out and pray you dont get bunkered! I used to have my frickin cocker in pieces behind the bunker trying like hell to clean the thing before the game ended! Long story short, theres nothing wrong with having a hopper thats too fast for your gun. The only real problem i had was the thing is HUGE. You gotta remember that when you lean out of a bunker...its not that big a deal, though. I got the smoke version, and haven't had trouble with it getting too dirty...(yet)
Conclusion:
This thing rocks! buy it if you shoot a lot and/or shoot very fast.

Review:
I took it out of the box, and the first thing I thought was, "Damn I didn't know it was going to be a football."
Then as I was putting it into the feed on my gun I heard the CHEAP plastic it's made out of cracking already. It's seemed together at the neck in a way where it will seperate only after a few times fitting it in.
If you were going to stand in one spot the whole time and shoot, it's a great hopper.
But when you're running around, or running through woods you can get this thing caught on a branch (which would be easy to because it's like balancing a blimp), and it wouldn't have a hard time breaking off at the neck.
The plastic is just too brittle to be charging $60+ for it.
Conclusion:
I guess it would be alright if you play back and don't run around as much, but if you play recreationally at all don't spend $60 on this thing, get one of those ZAP Mach 404's I think they're even made of higher quality plastic than this thing...
