    Ball Breakage

    Hey there guys, if this has been answered delete it or what ever its early in the morning and im too lazy to do searches =p

    Well here it goes.

    I used to have an RT pro, I used it for a few months and finaly I sold it because I could not stop breaking balls with the thing. I just couldnt figure out why. It finaly came down to the fact that I guess mags were just hard on paint. I got the trigger down and I was not short stroking it or anything like that I went through months of trying to figure out what was wrong. So I sold it and got a cocker. I havent had one problem with my cocker being weather it was chopping or causing problems or what ever Ive broken maybe 1 or 2 balls in the 4 months ive had the gun. I used to break 1 or 2 balls a game with my RT. Over time people told me it came down to the fact that mags were hard on paint. Recently I have been pondering weather or not to sell my cocker and give the emag a try. The electros seem to be taking over =p might as well give them a try. My question is has AGD done anything to improve the way the mag treats the paint recently? Anyone have proof or what not? Thanks guys, Oh by all means this is not a bash the mag post, this is just my personal experiance, as can be seen many love the mag I do myself I just found the cocker to the less frustrating lol. Anyway Like I said Im thinking of comming back to the world of mags via Emag. Lemmy know your thoughts on the problem. Thanks all

        to stop breaking balls...I leanred that not short stroking is ALWAYS good. and that making sure your hopper is feeding fast enuf. It took me about 2 full days of game play to get my rt sown. every once in a while I would short stroke it...but I could keep it from breaking the ball. It just took ahellave lotta practice

          my RT is 5 years old, and it doesn't break paint unless I run out of paint or my air runs low. People ask me why I don't own a squeegee!

            Where in CT are you from? I'll be getting my SFL back from Don pretty soon, and if you want to try out a truly pimped E-Mag (12v warp, HALO, 45/45 flatline, E-Magnum board, L10 coming soon) it could probably be arranged.

              Level 10 is out...wait till they put them in the emags, then buy one. Or, buy used and order lvl 10 now. No idea how long they will be out...so dont wait.
              X-mag #10. Nuff said.

              my feedback

                    I'm usually up north at Stingers, I'll probably be playing there through the end of the month, practicing for their 3-man. But I might be able to make a trip to Hogan's or Prospect to tease everybody with my level 10 once it gets here.
