Ok, first off, i didn't even want this kind. i ordered diablo heat from paintball adrenaline and they took like a month and a half to get it to me and it wasn't even the right stuff(and they tacked on like $40 extra) ok anyways. the balls have a reeeeel thin fill. and from the other reviews i thought that the fill would smell bad, but its not the fill. its the shell. smells aweful. they shoot sorta straight, but they don't really break that good.
Conclusion:
I'd say skip it and get some better balls, i don't know why draxxus made such bad balls.

Review:
I've been playing for well over 6 years, and have tried numerous types of paint. On a normal day to day basis, I really enjoy draxxus white box (comp edge) because of its price and quality. But recently, i purchased 8 cases in preparation for some practices and so forth. I was EXTREMELY disappointed with the quality of these paint. The shell was extremely fragil, and I would break paint after paint.
I am not sure what is going on with this paint recently, but for the past 3 months, everyone on my league and team who bought these had a TERRIBLE experience. I pray this type of quality will not continue.
Conclusion:
I've been using this for quite a while now, and it's recently in the past 3 months, its quality has decreased TREMENDOUSLY! For now, avoid at all costs!
I will revisse my review once I buy another case in a few more months. But for now, draxxus has lost its quality control on these paintballs.

Review:
Ok, these were the first paintballs that I had ever gotten. Shooting through the stock barrel on a 98c they seemed alright! I was surprised cause they only ran for 50 US. They have a nice white visible fill and do not seem to be too mishappened!
I would recommend these balls for rec or senerio if your not looking for huge accuracy! They are good balls to full auto with

Weaknesses:
I Have Not Found One Yet
Review:
These paintballs are just unbelievable. I have only tested them, but they are still my favorite I have ever used. I think that all the Draxxus balls are the best. I mostly just use them for woodsball, but still, they are very good and they are awesome colors. You will be very impressed with these balls and I wouldn't listen to what any one else says about these, they really are good.
Conclusion:
Great Paintballs, pretty cheap also. I would deffinately suggest them.
For the price I've never shot anything better. The fill isn't the brightest, and it surely isn't the thickest. The shell is pretty hard, but it breaks when I need it too. And for $30 a case I can't complain too loudly.
When I load up pods I notice dimples and flat spots quite frequently. I mean pretty big flat spots too. However when I run it through my gun I hardly ever get curves or breaks. We're not talking laser beam straight, but it goes where I point it.
Conclusion:
Buy it if you can. It makes great practice paint. In fact this is what my team uses and there aren't any complaints. (Besides the occasional dimple or flat spot when loading up)
I give it an overall 7 because it is much better than anything in it's price range, but it's not the best I've shot.

Conclusion:
Good paint for rec and i you can hit the opponets goggles or gun most of the time then you are doing good. if not then just pray it brakes. ive never had this stuff brake in my hopper or gun.

Review:
The first time i saw this paint was a couple months after i started paintballing. At the time i was using scorch which wasn't bad except for the fact that it almost never seemed to break on impact. Plus, i was ready for a change. So i went and got a case and i was very happy with the results. it flew straighter than any other paint id ever used. its colors were nice and the fill was thick, not runny. Ever since i started using this paint i don't think ive chopped one ball. The best part was how cheap the paint was(40.00 for 2000). I wouldn't recommend it for tournament use, however. For tournament, i would recommend Marbs or jt maxim. Overall, this is very good paint.
Conclusion:
Good paint, pretty cheap(40.00 for 2000)Good for playing with friends. For tournaments, get Marbs or JT Maxim.

Vapor bolt.
Any one of Numerous barrels
Recommended Barrels:
something with a rather small bore
Strengths:
Decent markability
Rather strong shelled
Good seam
Price
Weaknesses:
Can be too tough shelled at times
Could have better markability
Review:
overall these are awesome balls for the rec and occasional tourney player. Out local feild sells them exclusively. although the shells are fairly tough i do have the occasional chopping problem with my bko. this is a somewhat small bored paint so make sure that you have a barrel that can handle the match.
Conclusion:
Good paint, decent markability, good shells, great price.
Good for all fields and like with all balls and guns u adjust aim from shot to shot. my teammates like them and buy crates of 10 cases to last a few weeks of play. we all use the crate and play every week so we need cheap paint that is of good quality. they arnt the best thougt.
Conclusion:
Get them and see if they work good for ur gun if not well it wasnt like u wasted $60 u can target with them when u upgrade ur gun.
