Squeegee's, Obsolete? (LX)

[Hexis]

Since I stick to rec games, I still carry it, to help anyone on my team that needs it. Can't remember using it myself since I installed level 10.

I still always carry a squeegee even though i havent chopped since i installed my level 10, however i do still get the odd ball break in the barrell due to dodgy paint.

I use my sqeegy these days, to reach those out of hand reach back itches to scratch! Durn that feels good!

[Reo5th]

I stand corrected Though you must admit it is still stupid to enter the field without a squeegee...

I have one of the Redz Fleece Squeegies. I use it to dry out my barrel after I clean it after a day of play.

I concur. Redz Fleece Squeegee is carried, but rarely used for anything but cleaning my gear at the end of the day. =)

In rec ball, my squeegee gets used all the time helping out a newbie here and there who broke paint in their rental markers. I have yet to use it on any of my markers with lvl 10 installed.

I no longer carry a squegee, but only a battle swab to clean out the only from the paint. Maybe i just shoot really cheap paint, but after a 500 rounds game my barrel has paint in it, despite no breaks. Kinda weird but o well

Squeegies will never be far out of reach for me.

We had some really crappy paint at a tourney I played in this past Saturday. Normally TC Viper Platinum isn't this bad... but even in mid-60's/shade they were swelling up (our Freak users were on the .695 insert) and it was splitting at the seams in the bags, in pods, even in someone's warpfeed. Even with that, I only had one barrel break with my LX Minimag... but I'm really glad I had a squeegie with me.

I always carry one during rec play just in case someone on my team has problems.

Ditto. I typically carry two types of squeegies when playing, a 14" straightshot and a battleswab.

I havent had to use the straightshot to clean a break for about 1&1/2 seasons now (the battleswab being much faster, besides...how often do you chop w/ a lvl 10? ), but I have had to use it occasionally when I happen to dive and get 3" of dirt stuck in my barrel.

But it's nice not having to use 'em at all.

Well I chopped for the first time with LX this weekend. I was completely taken by surprise. "What? This hasn't chopped in over 2 cases...no every other ball!". Get back to the staging area, de-gas, pop out my valve...and out comes my mainspring...in TWO pieces. Somehow my main spring had snapped in half. Luckily the store is about a 20 minute drive (Usually that is ) so I barreled down the highway at 90 MPH trying to get to the store and back as fast as possible to get a new spring. Long story short...I got the spring, it worked, all is good.


P.S. - And miraculously I didn't get pulled.

as a LX user I have used my squeegee on occasion...

to clean the damn AZ dirt and blowing dust out of my barrel!

Also I have attached a hackysack to my squeegee so I can throw it to other people easier when they break paint!
