How's Big Ball paint ? Opinions ?

[CFD323]

Well I shot the Evil yesterday for the first time and I was impressed with how straight it shot. Very consistent in that regard but everyone had told me how nice and thick the fill was and I was a little disappointed there. It didn't seem to have much more of a fill than the Big Balls that my buddy was using. I think for rec ball I'll be a cheapskate and go with the $40 Big Ball instead.

All the big ball I've shot has been great. The shell was'nt too thick and it was pretty consistant. The only gripe is that thefill is thin and pretty watery, not a big deal for recball or practice.

evil shoots great but the fill can be a bit thin. Big ball had a brittle shell last time i used it. evil is the best of the 3

I found that out that the Evil fill is pretty thin. I read some reviews at pbreview.com and they all said the fill was thick and hard to wipe. They were wrong or I got a bad case...
I would like a paint that is thicker but I really don't want to spend $60+/cs to use for recball. I guess I'm stuck with the cheaper stuff. Oh well.

Like others have said, Big Ball is not very consistent. Sometimes you may get a perfect case, sometimes a crappy one.I think Forrest Gump put it best when he said "you never know what your gonna get".

When I lived in San Fransico, the only thing I shot was Big Ball. Maybe I just got lucky, but every case I got was great. The fill wasn't the best, but I didn't mind to much. But now I moved to SB, and am mainly using PMI Premium. Big Ball should be fine for rec or practice. If your going into a tournament, though, I'd go with something higher quality.

Where? I buy strait from PMI for my shop and it costs more than that.

I use bigball all the time, i have no complaints except when using in cold weather.

I've also used BigBalls a bit, my only complaint is that in rec ball it can be hard to see the balls in the air... and that may not even bother most people!! For $40, I'd definitely go for it for rec play, if ya don't wanna splurge for the evil.

it's not that bad when bought fresh... i used it all the time with marbalizers.. until i got diablo paint for $40 a case...

...update....

Ok played some rec ball with it....shot nice.....broke when it needed....and not on trees....guess I got a good case...I might stick with it for awhile....see how that goes...43 a case was nice....oppsed to walmarts 27 for half case of dusk(no comments...it works for rec play....)

I have nothing really bad to say about big balls. I think its a very good practice or rec ball paint. Yeah it dosent have fancy colors but how does that improve your game. My team has shot numerous cases of big balls and they are all very consistent in size. (I always match my paint to my freak, big balls are .687). There were some that did have minor flat spots but come on...there only $40. (I get mine for $31 from my sponsor). I still recommend them.
