Ok another newbie question for you all to hopefully give your advice on.

My team is entering into its first tournament next weekend (I no its the end of the season but we thought it would be good practice..!!) so I'm just wondering what paint to use?? I no it depends on the wether and how much money you have to spend and so on but what is an all round good ball??

Thanks for any advice its really appreciated..!!

buy the best paint you can afford. ask the suppliers at the event. they will have a good idea of what is shooting well at the moment.

The most expensive draxxus you can afford is generally a good bet.
So long as its been looked after properly:)

Like Lump said aswell. Make sure you check with the suppliers at the event, but more importantly make sure you get your paint from a respected vendor as it doesnt matter if its draxxus or Sterling or any paint for that matter. If its not taken cared of and stored right, it just wont shoot right!

foot I've used blaze and never had a problem with it but every time I've used formula 13 its not been great at all, thanks for your advice.

spangley_special I've never used draxxus so this could be the way forward thanks for your advice.

topchef and Robbo thanks.
