Futureball

[Aslan]

What's the deal with Futureball?

P&P closes down in Madison Heights. Exotic Sportz closes their Waterford location. So now I'm looking at driving to Livonia to go to Futurball to get my HPA tanks filled. So I jump on the motorcycle and ride down to Futureball.

First of all...nice location...NOT!! It's in the back of a mall...a mall that looks deserted...no signs. I walk up to the doors...there's a piece of paper stuck on the door telling people to use the entrance inside the mall. So I go inside the mall...the doors are locked and it tells you to knock on the doors outside.

There wasn't anybody there...on a beautiful day...a Saturday. I don't want to hear pb stores complain that their business is hurting when they are closed at 2PM on a Saturday in the beginning of the paintball season.

This really stinks. I went to action pb or whatever it's called...the other store in Livonia. It was a nice store...but it's pretty far away. I guess I'm in a bad spot until Exotic puts their store in in Rochester. Until then, I'll have to get my air fills at the field.

Futureball

I think PBX is moving into Futureballs's location, so they may be still busy doing the change over.


Do you think Exotic will really get their store opened up in Rochester? It's been in the works for a long long time.

I would agree about the Futureball store there in Livonia Mall, but there is another store right across the street that has some better hours the store is Killer Paintball.

I don't know if that store in Rochester will open or not...I hope so...otherwise I'm screwed when it comes to HPA fills.

Thanks for the Killer Paintball store mention...I'll have to try them out next time I absolutely NEED to get a tank filled. Livonia is a hike for me...but I don't have much choice right now.

20 min to get to brighton where are you comin from?

20 min to get to brighton where are you comin from?

20 min!? To Brighton! Maybe by plane.

Brighton is 40-45 minutes from my home (Madison Heights) with good traffic on 696 and 96 (good luck with that).
Brighton is over 45 minutes from where I work in Pontiac because you have to take that God awful M-59 all the way to Hartland which moves slow as molasses.

No, Brighton is not an option. Livonia is a half hour drive...maybe 25 minutes with no traffic (not really possible given having to go through Southfield ) I've also heard theres a store at 23 mile and Van Dyke. That's all of 15+ miles on slow roads...probably a half hour there as well.

wait theres a place in pontiac that does hp fills for scuba and paintball i'm shure of it! theres also somebody that does tank testing, just get out a phonebook while at work

[Aslan]

pontiac

I'll have to check that out.

[Pha|anx]

Just out of curiousity what did you pay at P&P for fills?

[Aslan]

prices

Phalanx-

I'm not really sure. I filled my 3000psi tank there and I think it was $8-$9. I filled my 4500psi tank there and I think it something like $12-$14. I thought that was kinda pricey...but I think it was $3 per 1000psi...not sure if that's standard or not.

pbx just needed a place to stay cuz their old place fell through. they were storing their equipment at futureball but have since been booted because they were stealing paint from a back room. anywho futureball is only open thursday through sunday and only at certain times. if your going to drive out there for a fill, killer paintball is a cheaper fill by .50 cents. -O and i hate futureball, and wouldn't play there again if my life depended on it. worst tourney ball i have ever seen refs were dickheads and wouldn't check anyone for hits.

If you are in Madison Hts, Lone Wolf Paintball is still out that direction, and they still do fills, they just dont have the fancy store front anymore. He is basically supplying the 2 fields and has a few things for sale in his "paintball warehouse"

Styg

Yeah, paintball warehouse is out in Macomb township...but that's almost as far as Livonia from here and last time I checked the hours were kinda weird. I can still get fills at the field and if I play Hell Survivors, fills are free . I must say that will be influencing where I play for a little while, until Exotic can get that place built in Rochester.

Lonewolf West question

Styg

Hey Styg, Lonewolf West is open right? I was thinking of playing there in a week or so but heard a rumor that one of the Lonewolf fields wasn't open because of being too wet or something??? Is West open? What are the hours? I'd e-mail them, but last time I did it took like over 2 week for them to get back to me.

[ultralight]

west is the one behind cascaden lounge in metamora right?

it wouldn't surprise me if several fields are closed due to flooding after the wonderful weather we've been having lately.
i'm planning on going out the 21st, but i'm still not sure where. if everything is still soupy then it'll be the bunker.
