I kind of builting a no drop, no forward, drop forward for my flatline. I'm going to have a NW quick connect attaching my warp to the grip frame and another NW quick connect attaching my flatline to the warp plate. That's actually too much drop for me. I think I'm going to mount the flatline "upside down" and straight back from the warp plate.

Were do I play. Welllll, we use to play at The Jungle until a buddy of mine had an altercation with one of the staff. We are currently looking for a new home. ;)

Actually, I will still play there sometimes, just not when my buddy is going. ;)

What about sherwood, right next door to jungle? WAP in Zomora, on your way to Sacramento(I believe). Or the field in Modesto (My favortie). These are all speedball.

Jungle is very 'woodsdweller'... There is a field right here in Concord I believe that you might like a bit more. I forget the name.. I just opened back up after being closed for a year or two. I can ask a friend of mine, if your interested.

Don't mean to get off topic, but the questions already been awnsered so what the hell. :)

Yeah, I'm a woods baller. If by Concord you are talking about Clayton out on the back side of Mt. Diablo, then I've played there many times. We just played in a "scenario" game there. It's okay, but a little steep for us old guys. ;) We have talked about Sheerwood and the Sac. fields. I've heard a lot of good things about Modesto, but is it really worth the drive? All of us are speedball newbies. Any suggestions>

Even the pros were 'speedball newbies' at one point.;)

I'm pretty sure thats the field that I'm talking about.

Is it worth the drive? For us, it is. I don't know for other people. And yah won't unless you try it.

Waps a bit closer, 1hr. Modesto is more like 1.5 hr. At modesto they've got 1 airball, 3 hyperball and 1 plywood field. They've usally got a newer-players-group, some mid level, and sometimes a team or two playing.
