Speedball and Woodsball

[jonny72888]

i think you see alot more new player in woodsball and thats why you think its easier.

i play both at the local feild and i really must say it depends on the day. some days i dont want anything to do with woodsball and others speedball.

where i play, if my team all shows up it will be more fun playing woodsball. all 5 of us just go left or right and work our way around the whole feild. not only do we play well with eachother, but in woodsball people are not looking for the rushing players as much.

but i must say nothing gets the heart going like a good speedball game.

I would not go as to say that speedballers are automatically better at woodsball than woodsballers.
It always depends on who is playing.
Since new players usually start by playing woodsball.. well of course the game against them might be easier :)

But at my field.. the speedballers are not all superstars on the woodsball field.
All depends on the player itself. :)

99% of the players that I have seen go through this pattern:

They start out in woodsball, play for about a year, maybe a year and a half. They upgrade that tippman all the time, but it doesnt help them play better. So they get a faster gun and start to work on the speedball field, just to practice their snapshooting.

Then they play recball, and speedball constantly, day in and day out they are at the field. Addicted to the game. They trade gun for gun trying to get the fastest and prettiest marker they can find.

Then they go back to recball/woodsball, they're burned out on speedball, too much cheating and bad reffing. They play pump, or semi only to even the odds. They try new things, and respect people enough to not overball them.

Then they become the trusted guy at the field, the old schooler, and rule the field with skill.

This is pretty much my story, I just don't play enough anymore.

That is pretty good :)
and you are right, that does happen to alot of people :)

I love your part where you say they upgrade there tippmann and it does not help them.... makes me laugh :) so true in a way :)
Not saying that Tippmann's are bad marker.. just that not all upgrades on a tippmann make the marker shoot better :)
