No, I hold the trigger handle with my right, and the grip with my left. Thanks for the info.

But.......

Is there really any up keep w/ it htough???? Also i heard about putting paintball goo on the warp discs for the new "dry paint". It seems to me though that if u put go on it it will get on the balls and affect accuracy. oh ya also w/ my z-grip what exactly will i have to do to get the plate so it sits far enough back?

lol thats like going to a ford owners web site and asking how good is a 2003 mustang cobra

well anyway the answer to your question is very good you wont be disapointed

WARPs are great. But take time to learn it and get used to it. it's not like an expansion chamber where you just screw it on and forget about it. Keep fresh batteries in it. run it in properly, or better yet go with an intelli hook-up. Get the hose just right,length and routing.

throw the foregrip away and grip the WARP with your left hand.

I have rtpro / warp / intelli-trigger and retro / warp / intelli for my backup.

you may have some growing pains the first few weeks, but you'll never regret it.

Just change the battery when it starts to slow down and keep it clean inside. No big deal. One of the two places I play only uses the dry shell, and I've NEVER had a problem I could blame on the Warp. I don't put paint on the discs either, although some probably do.

Glad to know I'm not the only one!

If agd pride and lions want to use warps that's fine with me. I don't see any pro-teams using the warp. Even when the Jax warriors were sponsored by AGD they stayed away from the warp, that's gotta say something. Like I said before they are great for rec ball and I can see a real advantage to them on hyperball fields but for sup or ultimate air you get a lower profile with a revvy shooting ambidexterously.

The warps are great. But to each his own. In tournys to be able to shot over the top of your bunker or lay down and send a string at the other team, it's very unexpected. As for pro teams not shooting warps, most are sponsored and have to shot what they are given, but good ol' Bob Long shots one and loves it. He's even makeing side feed timmys for the use of warps. The are slowly taking off in tournys because we are seeing them more and more. But I'd recomend trying it first.

I must disagree. You dont know how many times while playing speedball in a sup air feild or similar, people have told me they simply can't hit me. The profile coming out from either side of the bunker consists of your barrel and warp breach and maybe a small corner of my mask.

You can tuck your head in real fast but how long will it take you to tuck your head, gun and hopper in. Especially if you are playing close and your barrel is aginst the side of the bunker. Its just a sitting target. The warp eliminates the problem.

If we have a duel style competition where each person takes one shot alternating. I can almost gaurantee I will hit you before you hit me.

If you ever played against a person who uses a warp properly you will find him very difficult to hit.

Dont knock it until you have given it a chance. I was skeptical at first but now I will never go back to the blimp.

uh huh

Hysperion - Just to burst your bubble, BOB LONG uses a warp. I see warps all the time in magazines with tournament pictures. You are wrong about no one using them.

Anyway, moving on.

For the foregrip question, its possible, but I find it more comfortable to use a KAPP foregrip extender to reach around the warp. Pictures of my setup Go there to see how it looks.

As for breaking down, the only times I've seen a warp go down is when the owner is too stupid to read the instructions that come with it. If you set it up how AGD tells you to, you won't have a problem. (Actually, I've seen lots of people fry thier warp boards trying to do weird things with power, including myself, but thats a different story :) )

As far as performance goes? I can't play without one anymore. If you want to whine about them being heavy, hit the gym, you are weak. They make it insanely easy to come out around bunkers without a friggin BLIMP coming out first.

I suggest, Hysperion, that you practice more, and stop blaming equipment for lack of skill.

I have a feeling that this is the key. If you don't use it properly, you might as well use a standard hopper. Not saying I use it right, but I like it anyway....:)

Just for the sake of doing it! Glad to see you have no hidden agenda. Hehehe

Wow, I hope somebody was wearing a cup!

I would have to say.. the warp is probably the best thing I've bought for my gun. The benefits are amazing, it can sustain 20 bps feed rates if needed and as said several times before it makes you more compact. As for the warp being a waste if you play Sup Air.. PFFFFFTT!! HAHAHAHAH he didn't play with it enough.

Even though I'd only played once with my gun since I got my warp, all day I heard "Man I couldn't even see you!", "Thats not fair.. he doesn't have a hopper!", Me-"Yes I do...it just not 8 inches above my gun, its two below!", "I've seen warps online but I didn't know they worked THATwell". It was like amazing grace people coming up asking me how well it worked.. and most said the gun wasn't as heavy as they thought it'd be, even fully loaded with paint.

I give the warp a 9 out of 10 (Only reason it didn't get a 10 was because it SHOULD HAVE a power switch!) I had to install one on my own so I gave it the next best thing :)

Like several have said.. try it.. You'll know after a few times playing with it if you'll like it or not. Remember to give yourself some time to adjust to using it, and not just up and say it sucks! It will cause you to find different methods of aiming..but once you get that down.. it's a force to be reckoned with!

Well, where I play, hopper and gun hits don't count (it's a lot more fun, you should try it sometime; just make sure the refs tell everyone that they can't shoot blind) so I could care less about that, but the only time I've seen a warp, this guy had one on an RT with a 12v. revvy, and it wouldn't work. After messing with it, he said it wasn't working because it wasn't linked to the revvy and eventually ended up taking it off. So, I've never seen a funcitioning warp, and that's why I don't want one.
