5 Ion Deals Wanted!!
- Thread starter Capone
- Start date
If your getting a package, see if you can get the Ion 'Pro' package or similar which comes with a freak jr (ie. freak back and front w/ 1 insert), clamping feedneck, and better ASA, cos the stock ones all suck harry balls and you'll only end up paying more later.
I shot my Tiger Ion for about 10 months and had zero, zilch, nada problems with it
Just take care of your **** and it shouldn't break as often

get an ion.
i used to own an impy & while they're reliable as hell they're also like house bricks...
people may hate ions because they've destroyed the market as someone said...but it's only because so many people have bought one, a starter 2nd hand tourney marker used to be £250 ish at lowest but now you can pick up a stock 2nd hand ion for £90 & upgrade it as you go until you've got something you can compete at a high level with.
Look at the WCU team's, -real high end markers, fast and very very light.
Otherwise, buy an angel- they're only cheap because they're au fait but there's nothing wrong with them, I bought an IR3 a coupla weeks ago & it's almost as fast as my speed, for how much? £95.
And guaranteed, that will not break when you dive, or get it wet in the rain
Peace,
whatever suits you, I recommend trying before you buy though.

.......an Ion any day
Thanks everyone! Lots of food for thought.
I think Ion it is and then start to ruder the old girl up. Im getting pretty tempted now to get a second hand one with upgrades alread in place. I can imagine quite a few Ions coming though here, with everyone upgrading an all. I do like the look of those angels too, but dont think the budget you stretch but you never know...
Ive not realy got the oppertunity to try before I buy? I could go to a shop but would I realy learn anything from firing of some air for 2mins in a shop. Whats more likely to happen is that I drawn to all the shiny metal like a moth to a candle, then someone wispers the word 'credit' in my ear then BAM, £1,200 down!

ha ha... but you may be suprised to know that i think more angels come through here than ion's... or at least in the time i've been watching the classifieds it has
if youre buying secondhand, you can normally arrange to meet the seller at a tourney or something and so you can try it there but yeah, trying in shops isn't always the best, as some will try and push your budget and yeah, just standing still dry firing wont really tell you everything about a marker.
