Can any one explain why i constantly get ball breaks?
I have a power feed mag, running a warp feed and an Armageddon air system.
I am using a standard 9v battery in my warp feed but am thinking of converting it either to a 12v, or buying the standard 10v battery.
I am using a boomstick (12")
Perhaps its because the balls arent feeding fast enough from the warp feed?
Please help!!

are your breaking or chopping?with your setup, it sounds like your breaking becuase it would be hard to chop with a warp and a pf, what kinda paint and bolt are you using, hows the paint to barrel math?how cold duz it get up there?

hmmm this sounds like the same probablem i had with my mini mag when i just got a double triggr. the probablem with mine ad why i was breakin so much was the trigger pin was set right and i was short strokin constantly there for i was chopping a lot. that might be your probablem

is your warp spinning right? somtimes you have to adjust your warp to spin a certain amount or you will chop like mad. try adjusting the dwell settings.

Check the post "Proper Warp ball stack" in this forum. It is a classic that was posted by RobAGD. This could be the problem.

I am using the standard metal P Nubbins (because the plastic ones arent available in the UK)
I am also using my warp on the sensativity setting, as intelliframes arent available over here.


Bloody Americans using all AGD's stock!!!!!


The weather is cold, i was playing in snow yesterday and i was using "Diablo Blaze"

Thanks for the advice boys and girls.

Two things:

1) P nubbins blow, get some V nubbins at least :)

2) Check your warp dwell jumpers. Too short a dwell can lead to really annoying breakage problems.

I'd bet on #2. It's happened to me, and 2 other people I know who use warps, at least. Possibly 4 other people, but I'm not sure.

What bolt are you using? so there's cold weather right? i would recommend a AGD Foamie bolt then, its supposed to be gentler, and softer on brittle balls.
