Actually, the tail is a good rudder at speed. I can slide better with the tail on. Really.

Seriously, the bandanas on the SIDES, that's a cheatermod. In paintball terms, it's something that drapes from the hip to the knee, and paint bounces off of it. If you use a LONG bandana or lighter material, it won't break a ball. A towel probably will break a ball, because of the material and weight.

It's likewearing a baggy jersey, except this goes over the legs. In the standing pics you can't see the drape, but if they kneel, you'd see the bandana drape to the side over the hips down to the knees. PLUS, it's a drape layer OVER your pants, so a ball that hits your pants MIGHT bounce due to hitting the bandana and the energy of the ball deflects and moves the loose material rather than breaking on stuff that won't move. Think of the physics trick of yanking a tablecloth out from a set table, similar principle.

Now I know that the Super 7 rules (12.05) allow for a hand towel or wash cloth to be carried. Why you'd need one, I can't fathom.

As for my tail? Unless you're behind me, it's not an issue. Plus due to "manufacturers construction" it's not designed to deflect balls. In fact, only ONE person has gotten a ball to break on the tail, and he's still not letting me live it down 10 years after the fact...

Nutrag? Drape it in front of your junk like a loincloth and protect the jewels?

Tyger, whats your first name?

You don't happen to have a link to that, do you?

I can't find the link. It wasn't the rule you just posted. It's recently been added to specifically ban rags or bandanas hanging from guns, packs, belts, etc. They can only be used for protection/headwear from now on. I can't remember where I saw it, but it was a press release from one of the major tourney series.

the only reason i can see is incase you get mud/dirt on the marker during a slide. that and to help cheat. if i ever get dirt on the marker, i clean it off with my glove or sleeve.
