What's everybodys preference on paintballs these days?

[GoatBoy]

While I try to avoid paint snobbery, I have never liked Marballizer over the time I've been playing. Never.

I've been using Redemption and have been happy with it. I use a 0.680 insert when it's fresh, then 0.685 after it's a few weeks old. It's usually very consistent, breaks on target, and I don't have any in-gun breaks (other than those caused by broken detents which I failed to notice). And it keeps fairly well.

Oh and the green stuff leaves a really nicely visible mark.

lol that picture...

Seriously, not to be off topic, but that's a great shot. GoPro or R7 or.. what?

Thanks; it was taken with a Drift HD.

I've been having great success with one of the cheapest paints made available. JT TOXIN. If you have a freak barrel kit, it seems to be a pretty consistent .682 sized ball.

Valken Graffiti and GI star.

... and infinity is actually super good budget priced paint...

Woah, let's not get carried away here, lol! Infinity is Valken's dirty-little-secret paint. It's a "budget" paint because it's not 100% PEG. From the point of view of someone shooting that paint, I can see why you'd like it, because it shoots straight and breaks on target - exactly what you need paint to do. But from the view of someone getting shot with that paint, or having to clean up a field where it was shot... not so much. That stuff stains like mad, and the most grievous knock is that the fill leaves a waxy buildup that is tough to remove. I can't stand that stuff, personally. Fate is not much more expensive (what, something like $1 to $2 more per case?) and will save you a ton of headaches in the long run.

I won't stock Infinity, nor allow it to be used at my field. I learned a few years back, it's 100% PEG or nothing. Most paint companies have caught on to that by now, Valken included for every other grade of paint they stock.

I played another tournament this past weekend and shot Empire Premium and didn't chop a single ball. I was however using a different gun with a lvl 10 bolt. I was very happy to be shooting paint instead of watching it drip out of my gun but I was not impressed with the accuracy of it.

"breaks on target" is also a strong phrase for it haha. The shell seems pretty robust and bounces pretty regularly at any range (a fine enough trait for recball, IMO). I didn't know about the PEG stuff, but that makes sense. A lot of the rec paint used at my field is hell to clean off afterwards. I usually stick to redemption, even at approx. $10 more per case. I'll have to try Fate but im relatively sure they don't sell it at my field.
