        It seems like any ball breaks I have are after they leave the barrel and no chops as of yet.

          I totally remember those. Not bad paint at all. The only paint in my mind that sticks out as terrible was the brass eagle paint from my early days of playing and pro ball. Pro ball platinum was better. Evil paint kind of sucked sometimes too. Marbs back in the day always shot awesome for me no matter what gun. Nowadays, I mostly shoot triumph with minimal problems.

            Weird I see so much ProBall hate, as I had the opposite experience.
            From about 96'-98' I remember proball being amazing. Great consistency, and this awesomely thick waxy chalky fill. That stuff was amazing. I've always thought it was the best paint.

              I also remember Proball as decent paint.

                  Pro ball was hard as a rock. If it didn't break you would call out from the pain. Otherwise yes. Thick fill. Consistant. And round.

                    I don't know. Maybe the proball at the local shop I frequented didn't have fresh paint or something. This was when I was a kid and walked or rode my bike to get paint for as cheap as possible. Paint was like $100 for a case then or more.

                      Nelson Paintballs are 100% made in the USA.





                      They are located in Michigan.

                      Wish someone around here sold them, never had the opportunity to try them.

                        I totally forgot about them. That's one of the older paintballs. A field in NY that no longer exists used to carry that exclusively and it was fpo. Always good paint.

                          I was wondering if Nelson was still around. Never had much luck with them the couple times we demoed them, usually extremely hard. But they use have some nice scenery at world cup every year, pretty sure that's the only reason we gave their paint more than one shot!

                            according to Simon, Nelson still makes small runs of .62 caliber paint.

                              They invented paintballs and the first paintball gun.

                              They were the first.

                                That's pretty cool information. Thank you. I knew they were old, but I didn't know all of that. Interesting stuff.
