I guarantee there is no Ti Valve Tom created an elaborate story to fool you all..... He's getting a good laugh watching you grind your Valves...

This thread is great. I just spent likely the last half an hour reading the whole thing. Best of luck to everyone, I'm off to go check out my valve!Comment

Talk about raising the dead here.
I didn't read through the entire thread, but one thing to note about Ti is that its not a good conductor of electricity. I'm not sure how that compares to stainless steel, but is that maybe a lead to take to test a valve without grinding/ruining it?My Trader Feedback

hahahah wow, that is pretty cool, titanium valves?!?! wowzers. i bet the titanium valves are sitting under some dirty laundry, or even... dont even want to think about it...Comment

The one mag I sold probably had a Ti valve
and I'll never know

I belive my friend has a Pro Mag valve, he's had the thing for years. It doesn't get used a hole lot these days as he uses an Emag. Still works a treat!Comment

I don't think Tom would lie about making proto type valves to save weight. AGD has always been about leading/cutting-edge technology.Originally posted by zipity_BopComment

Perhaps, but then again, I still remember the spoof he did on the crown point barrel's "advanced technology" a couple years ago...

Take it from me, he's not pulling your leg! In fact i've met John Sosta on numerous occasions. In fact i was first introduced to the Pro Mag valve in 1994 by a gentleman called Ashley Wright who in fact was the salesman for DAC barrels. He also used to guest for the Ironmen team when Bob Long was their Captain! I can remenber him showing the valve to me and him trying to get me to sell my Tippman ProAm and buy a Mag. His just happened to be a Pro Magged valve. I also remember John Bonich talking to me about the Pro Mag virtues. Both John Sosta aand John Bonich were the people to see if you needed work doing to them. The Pro Mag valve was also relatively easy to obtain here in England as they were made here, so we got first dibs on them for a change! I also still bump into Mr. Sosta and Mr. Bonich from time to time, next time i see them i'll ask them about them. For the record it was John Sosta who gave us the X-Mag, he now tinkers around with Timmy's, although i belive he still has a couple of Mags. John Bonich still uses one of the first RT mags that came into England. Belive me it still rips!

I think you're refering to the use of a NACA type duct that was featured on the crown points right? Those ducts are from formula one and the aviation industry... what they do for a paintball in flight is debateable but they are not some spoof as far as how they function in their true appliactions. Everyone's trying to out market the other but I don't think the use of a real world innovation like a NACA duct is a spoof. It may not be a huge improvement but I still think it's a cool idea to apply a real world piece of engineering to pb. Lol those barrels were funny, I had one back in the day... I put a rubber band around the front so it didn't resonate everytime I shot my gun, "diiiing."

No Actually, It is a very old post from back in 2002 and this was what I was referring to...Originally posted by ThotographI think you're refering to the use of a NACA type duct that was featured on the crown points right?

As I recall, it came about after a discussion between Tom and one of his industry buddies about whether the "AGD Masses" would just blindly accept anything that Tom said as the gospel...Comment
