    How's Big Ball paint ? Opinions ?

    My local PB shop switched paint brands and now they sell Evil ($60), Big Ball ($40) and 32 Degrees Competition. I've never shot any of these although I picked up a case of Evil today to try out tomorrow. I hate to spend $60 for paint for walk on games or when I play on private property so I was wondering what everybody thought about the Big Ball ? I've never shot it or even known anybody who's shot it.
    I would assume it's not a brittle shell paint but does it break on target or do you get a lot of bouncers ? What's the fill like ? How's it in terms of size consistency ? Or should I just pay the extra $20 and stick with the Evil ?Any feedback would be appreciated.

    bigball is ugly!

    its like a dark blackish purpleish bluesish fugly color, but the paint is okay... i've had a few batches that were a little larger bore size thoguht, but it probly was from the humidity..

    but its good for the price

      Big Ball, like all cheap paint, can and is very inconsistent. Size, roundness, color, shell thickness...

      That's what make makes cheap paint cheap, but that also doesn't mean that it can't be good paint. YMMV, and will!

        I have played with big ball a lot in an indor field. It is definately cheap paint. Bounces all the time. For just reg rec play I would but big ball but for more serious rec play and more use evil. You will get ehat u pay for with this one.

          Big Ball isnt bad. It's shell is a bit harder, and will bounce a bit. 32 Degrees sucks for making paint. Unless you have a level 10, dont bother with that junk. Just get the Evil.

                Stay away from 32 degree paint. I bought 4 cases of 32 Degree Team Colors paint and that was probably the worst decision of my paintball life. These balls are smaller than the average paintball and very very inconsistent in size. Sometimes I think I bought a case of football shaped paint. You need a Freak system to use this paint because they will roll out of the average barrel.

                Big Ball is a good deal for $40. It's a good paint for the money and very consistent in size. The shoot well with a boomstick.

                  ...just bought a case last weekend..

                  Well...I got a case of big ball lastweekend..due to rain...I didnt play with it...but did test it in the back yard a bit...

                  for spyder stock barrels/teardrop it was too small and rolled out....still shot "decent" only used about half a hopper to test...but it seems like it will do....

                  shell is maroon....fill is lite pinkesh and looked kinda oily....



                  32's comp paint isnt too bad...alot shoot it at the feild in there tippys.... and I havent seen any major chops and such.... only thing I dont like about it is its all thick and stains sometimes... and I dont like going around looking like a smurf for a few days LOL

                    I've had big ball work great for me on occasion,and one of the worst cases I've ever shot was big ball. Varies in quality. The funny thing was that the case that worked best for me I shot while playing with a foot of snow on the ground, through a spyder, in the freezing cold. OK for practice/rec paint, just be aware that you might get a really bad case now and then.

                      The last time I had a case of Big Ball, the doctor told me to get plenty of rest and gave me Zithromax.

                      Sorry, couldn't resist.

                      Actually, the last case of big ball i shot was absolutely terrible. The balls were really inconsistent, some were footballs, some got stuck in my powerfeed (chop chop chop). However, I shot some a year or so ago that was perfect. It's hard to say.

                        ive shot countless number of cases of big ball and its been great. ive ony had one bad experience with a case of it. but other than that its worked wonders. no bounces, bright breaks. good paint.

                              Eh, i dont like it. I guess i got a bad batch, the balls were assorted sizes, and we were playing 3 on 3 practice and is hot 10-15 rounds and 6 or 7 hit one guy, not one popped.
