Cocker/Short Stroking/Halo

[Parksy]

Just a quick question for all you cocker owners out there.

I love my evo with mechanical blade frame but am debating having it e-bladed, keep having a change of heart though...

One of the things I hate about my mechanical cocker is the fact you can short stroke it, I probably do this once a day when playing, but always at a crucial moment ie. Second ball out my marker in the 2 man semi at STB

Was told by someone at STB though that a halo, although you can still short stroke the trigger, will ensure that there is a ball in the breach and while not eliminating you being able to chop by short stroking will help. Anyone have an opinion on this?

Just thinking it seems like a lot of cash to spend getting an e-blade when i can fire the mechanical blade trigger at a decent speed, and the main reason being as stated above

Cheers

Dave

A Halo won't help. Even if you do manage to get a ball fed when you short stroke, the next shot is going to be two balls smashing into each other in the barrel. If you are lucky, both balls fire at a much lower velocity. Most times, they smash into each other and make a mess. Take time, and focus on how you are pulling the trigger, not how fast you are pulling it. Only time can cure short stroking.

if you can deal with the short stroke then dont get the E blade, if you hate it get the e blade
