Needing a lil help with this one.
I have always sworn by my Halo, its always done what i bought it for, spun my balls lik there is no tomorrow! Its never missed a beat, Never Jammed and never let me down mid game (which is always handy!!)

Ive been out of the loop for quite a while due to personal/work reasons and have returned to see a good 80% of the balling community switch to the Dye Rotor with only a few still using the Halo/Empire.
I watched a vid on youtube with billy wing drowning this thing then drying it with a blow torch and it still spun! impressive i have to say. but i dont intend on ever playin "deepsea or river ball."

To get to the point:

Q... is it worth me spending around the £100 fora new Rotor or should i just save my pennies and stick with the loader that kept up with 15 bps so will not struggle at 10????

Ladies and Gents... your opinions please....

I've heard you can get something for the halo/reloader shells to make it 37% more efficient with reballs.

If its the freeway anti jam your talking about then yes it does help with reballs but its still not perfect. Ive recently switched from a halo (with the freeway) to the rotor. I play with reballs mostly and although the rotor still jams with them, its so much quicker to un-jam.

the rotor is undeniably a better loader but only you can decide wether it does that much more to warrant the higher price tag
your budget will, as always, be the determining factor

I have an emprie B2, and im very happy with it as you are with the halo, does the job great!, do i want a rotor? yes. as everything i have seen and read suggests they are a sexy and Daves body, which is pretty sexy.

But if your happy at the moment using the Halo, then why not stick with it, if it feels like you need the extra "humph" then spend your sterling, otherwise wait till they go down in price, or you find a good deal on them :)

as you have said it hasnt let you down yet?
