Personally, I like tourment exposure more than recball for many different reasons, not just because I play tournements/speedball. For one, I HATE talking about paintball with other people that dont play, simply because they ask dumb questions like, "Are you a sniper?" I absolutely hate having to explain exactly the style of play which I participate in, and the image it has, to people who dont know anything about it.

Not that there is anything wrong with recball, but simply put, its not what I play, and dont like being put in that group because a certain person who doesnt play thinks its the only style there is. Just because tournements get most of the coverage doesnt mean thats all people associate paintball with... in fact, most people DONT associate paintball with tournement play.

With that being said, I loved the article. Well written, and it focused on the type of play that I want people to associate ME with. Golf clap, everyone.

Word.. And it's wierd.. Some people either hate recball but love speedball ie. Myself.. Or.. Hate speedball but love recball.. There are some people who enjoy both but it's becoming rarer now adays.

And what I find is that speedballers can somewhat hold there own playing recballers on a recball field, but typically come short, and the same goes for recballers playing speedball on a speedball field.. Usually they get tooled.. It's two totally different styles of play.. And people should stop comparing them

I don't know why all of you are getting hyped up about the gun vs. marker part of it... the one that I didn't like the most is that the article stated that most of us still call hits 'kills'. When I play paintball, the last thing going through my mind is killing my opponent (well, usually ). I'm trying to mark them with paint, not blow their head off. Regardless on whether I do it with a 'gun' or a 'marker'.

Like it said in the article how people get tired of them lifting trophies, I agree. It is starting to get boring over and over dynasty winning.

WEll my dad thought that i was wastin my paychecks on my equipment that he called "a hunk a metal fully equiped with buzwords n gizmos" that is until i forced him to watch my three man perform at a smaller tourny. After watching how much tactics and such are incorperated into speedball he decided to try n play with up in the rec ball time after the tourny. He likes it n is goin to grab a marker himself.

And the moral of the story they can't whack it befor theyve tried it
