"You sure its chopping?
I ran well over 2000 balls through my Vibe last month and didnt have a single chop or ball break.
Run my PMR this weekend and it was chopping constantly "
Mini's are a good marker but like bob said you might find it too small but we have a lad in our team who is 6 4" and he swears by it lol try and get along to a walk on day or something and have look
You really are better off getting a feel for few different types. I brought an all singing all dancing marker when i started, and quickly learnt a few things:
Looking after it. This thing just costs loads of money but if you dont know much about it and its high maintenance, you will constantly be having to send it off to be looked at, or taking it to a site to be looked at and fixed, or you break it worse case! Some of the markers now are so easy to look after, EGO's for one, i know, this because they are all i have shot for the last few years.
Shooting straight has a lot to do with what paint your using, the weather, etc etc. Your not going to be ollie lang on break out.
Its the person behind the trigger that makes the difference, you can put a chimp behind the trigger of Ak47, doesent mean to say hes going to hit something.
I have a mini and have had no problems with it, nice easy maintainance etc. but I would say go and try it out and see if you like it because like people have said, not everyone likes it.
i have a mini and and etek and i must say for size the mini all the way but being a back player a mini can be slighty air hungry where and the etek is alot more air efficient for sure!
y not look at an etek 2. good easy and efficient !
