AGD Launch was Used at WPF Chicago event!!!!

[G-Rock]

First, all those who thought the AGD Launch would not work in a tournament where you had to start behind the start station and come around it, YOU WERE WRONG!!!!!!

Well after hearing about the AGD Launch on here. We couldn't resist a chance to actually learn it, and well who better to show us then Tom Kaye. He probably spent a good thirty minutes at our staging area demonstrating and helping us learn this great opening move.

We were playing the zipper field at Badlandz in Chicago, and all day our front guy could only make it to the 40 yard line on the left tape, so we gave this a try. Pito189 and I took our front guy, and launched him almost 6 feet in the direction he needed to go. He landed at full speed and made it to the fifty yard line in the snake on the left tape. He got in there and was shooting at one of the opposing teams mid players before the opposing teams front players even got into postion. It was great, and proved you could use it in this type of starting postion.

WPF taped the AGD launch for us and we will have it downloaded on here for everyone to see as soon as possible. Got to get a copy of it first from WPF.

Tom thanks for the time you spent with us, we really enjoyed it and learned alot.

C-ya all around,

Chris Geiger, Captain Team Sinister Sainthood

Sweet! Can't wait to see the video. Hopefully a lot of teams saw you using the launch and will give it a try in the future.


By the way, how'd you guys place in the tourny?

[rx2]

Wouldn't you rather it not be discovered by other teams who would be potential opponents?

[j.t.]

The only way to stop other teams from discovering it would be to not use it yourself.

I bet you they will catch on quick

[rx2]

I realize that, and I also realize that certain teams will NEVER use it simply because they think they don't need to. In any case, I wouldn't want it to spread like wildfire, at first. Of course, if I werre one of those who formulated it, once it catches on, I would want everyone to use it. It would be nice to know you started something big. But, for now, I would think that they would rather have it go unnoticed, at least to catch a few by surprise.

[j.t.]

I think your right. I think it WILL get noticed, but I dont think most teams will bother trying it because its "different"

I know i couldnt talk my team into trying that let alone even explain it to them.

[LittMag]

Personally I hope more teams try it. That way someone is bound to screw up and fall on their faces... now THAT would be funny. (I know, I'm sick, but who here wouldn't laugh)

[j.t.]

hmmm.. maybe letting the other teams try it is a good idea... your team does it correctly and gets your front men to the 50 while the other teams front guys are on the ground 10 feet ahead of the starting station.

i know sooner or later someone WILL fall and i bet their barrel will be at a 90* angle. They could call it the perascope barrel, shot around corners

[j.t.]

It will more likely become a shuvel then stay a barrel

[AGD]

Well lets analyze this situation.... Because you guys hang out here you have intimate knowledge of a technique that can give you a winning advantage on the field. We all realise that if it does work everyone will start using it and its advantage will diminish.

The logical conclusion is that the early adopters will gain an advantage, the "wait and see" guys will never have an advantage. Which group are you going to join???

Thats right Tom. Catch the boat while its hot baby. In 5 years tom will discover a new start when you just run to your bunkers. It'll be totally different since everyone is doing this wierd throwing start....odd....

[G-Rock]

Well to answer the question above, when we asked the ref we ran into saturday night at the hotel he told us we placed 9th overall in the Novice division. I am not sure on that and will find out though.

As for the guy hitting the ground, well when we were practicing it, out of about 10 practices, our guy only hit the ground once, another time he hit a truck in the staging area.

In all honesty, teams were staring at us in the staging area and laughing, but when we came off the field some of those teams started to ask us about it and said they might have to learn it to gain an advantage. Well anyway I look at it we are going to use it more and more, it works and we had fun doing it.

I wold like to thank Tom for showing this great way to break, and also like to thank Wolf Hill Paintball for helping my team out every way they have.

Ok ok I was wrong.
Who as never made an error in his life ?

Any link to the movie?

[Timmee]

I am unfamiliar with this technique. What is it? I realize it's a way to get going on the break, but other than that, I have no idea what it is.
