Advice on what balls for different pressure and weather

[TeamImpact-Will]

Read this somewhere, thought it could help newbies.

Every manufacturer produces many types and brands of there balls. Their most expensive brand, that possesses the thinnest, roundest shell and brightest, best marking fill. These paintballs, such as Hellfire, Evil and Inertia, are best suited to low pressure markers (tourny or non tourny) and warm weather. High pressure guns will easily blow this paint apart, and nasty weather will render difficult to use, or even at all.


Mid-level brands, by any manufacturer, are the most consistent. Their shells very round, their fills mark well and they are extremely little from batch to batch. These types of balls include Inferno, Marbalizer, or Ramp and are generally priced in the middle of the pack. Tournament and Rec ballers make good use of them.

Beneath those brands are those best suited for high pressure, entry level markers like Tippmanns and Spyders/Kingmanns, and for a wide spectrum of weather conditions, due to there thicker shells and better withstand hot and cold weather and the higher the impacts of bolts slapping back and forth at higher pressure.

and winter paint???

would elaborate myself but dont really know much about the subject...i just shoot it

Well the lower end paint is good for winter as said in the first post. But generally you can go for paint like winter ice. Winter ice is both good quality and withstands cold temperature.

well that much i knew....i was more taking about qualty differences (obviously shell is thicker) lower end paint generally are less consistant in shape and bore size...where as something like draxxus frostbite is still fairly good

point taken, but as this is for newbies, people babbling on about bore size isn't really going to make things easier for them. And tbh if you're training with pi*s poor quality paint when you get to you're first tourney are using good quality paint everything is a hell of alot easier.

point taken but there is a need to explain the theory and when and where for winter paint...not specifically training paint...like the 1st few masters are usually run on winter paint because its just too cold
