I can shoot my classic valve very quickly and don't know if it would be worth the money to upgrade and buy a retro/x- valve. The only problem that i have is that 2 or 3 times a day of play I will shortstroke, get 2 balls in the barrel, and bust balls. Now, this doesnt happen too often, but it is annoying. Would it even be worth upgrading? And also, is the trigger pull of a retro any heavier than a classic valve? Thanks a lot.

Its a much lighter and cleaner pull
If you can already shoot fast with a classic, you can shoot much faster with a retro
I dont know about your double feeding problem

Well, when i shortstroke it, i push the ball into the barrel but no enough to force it out and the next ball is loaded, so 2 balls are fired. These balls break most of the time.

It might be worth getting an I frame first if your having problems with short stroking. Cheaper, and the sweetest mech frame for a mag. Then I would look into an x valve if you still want more.

If you already have an I frame please ignore my entire post. :)

Yes get a intelliframe
The new valve will stop short stroking most likely cause it push your finger bazck

to me there is a huge difference between classic and rt, when i shoot a classic after a good string of shots there is alot of shoot down (atleast the ones i have shot) the RT valve is so sweet on how there is no shoot down at all.

Ya guys, I already have an I-frame, that is the primary reason for me to be able to shoot fast with a classic. I Just dont want to waste the money if it doesnt end up making a difference to me.
