I play alot with bigball because of its price and the fact that is is great shooting paint. I haven't gotten a bad case yet.

big ball is good but remember check paint to barrel match that is the most important thing

Yeah I think it is,but if you have fifty I think I would have to go with the Hellfire and I think it is smallbore paint.

actually most clasify big ball as small/med paint.
I agree big ball is the best bang for the buck.

IMO all that paint sucks. If I was forced to choose I would probably choose the big ball. From my experience this has the best shapen shell of the other 2 paints. Bigball is not large bore it is small bore. Down side to bigball is that some people complain of its thin shell, but I never had a problem with the shell. Also you can pick up a case of 32* competion online for cheaper than 50$ including shipping.

if the paint will blow thru your barrel with ease and doesn't roll thru it is a good match remember it can vary from batch to batch I think big ball tends to be around .689-.691 I perssonaly like proball and for a real cheap paint that works decent point blank is all right the cheap version is $35-$55 depending where you buy it a local feild sells it for 55 nd a local store for $40 i seen it internet for 35 but proball is good in a mag or diablo blaze or midnight ask the local store if you can test a couple in the store try and blow them thru

All three are decent paint, if fresh. I'd go with the Zap myself, excellent paint, medium bore.

www.acepaintball.com seems to have very good prices on paint.

PMI Premium $42.50 case. Shipping to the Bay Area (where I live) was ~$15 for 4 cases. <$200 shipped including taxes.

Marbelizer was priced to sell as well. $230/4 cases not including shipping and tax.

Of course, I have no experience buying anything from Ace so that would be a downside. Let me know if anyone has experience with these guys.

ok for 56$ you can get Marbalizers and For 42$ you can get PMI Premium from Action village.

I HATE 32 degrees. I literaly had a ball that was oliptical. it was a oval. it would not get out of my power feed. it was actualy in the breach while i was chronoing. im lucky i spotted it, elswise i would have chopped it in half. and when i tried to get it out it got stuck in the PF.
And i had a bad exsperiance with ZAP. i found them to be of poor quality and not nearly as consistant as PMI or Marbalizers.

Marbs.And PMI are good in my opinion..

ZAP is great. I never break with it, I think some people don't like it because they have NEVER TRIED IT and it's just a grudge thing. Then again I haven't used the other paints that much.
