Wasn't there talk about the Ironmen using these off the break and swapping out for the stubby nose when they got to their primaries? I remember at HB they were talking about how they'd got the changeover down to 3 seconds or something.

makes for a big old target too.
as well as that, in the middle of a game it will take to long to fill it up withy two pods but if you fill it up with one pod the balls will move alot and possibly brake in the hopper.

I guess its personal preference? Bea seems happy with it.
I wouldn't use one though, it seems illogical to me. Why extend your front profile in order to not carry as much paint?
Snake players would perhaps prefer to play with less pods, but to have one protuding out of your hopper in exchange = Dead box! Plus easy cheat in smaller tourneys, ie oh a hit on my pin-o-kee-o I will take it off now and discard it :rolleyes:

would the nose count as a disposable item like a pot? so if you leave it on the field you cant get pulled for it?
I can see the advantage of being able to shoot for longer off the break, but those things are massive, bigger target and heavier.
Im impressed you can clean out the inside with water without frying the board though, and they are meant to feed quite fast.

think ill stick with my magna though
