How to hold your marker?

[fordanaldino]

Today at training i was told that i was holding my marker all wrong. I usually place the bottle in the bit of your arm where your fore arm bends upwards. I was told to place it into my bicep. This was seriously uncomfortable and i was just wondering what is the best way to hold a marker or if the best way is just how you find most comfortable.

i reckon

when you get your lcd with angel air, then your bottle and gun will be shorter and easier to hold, and you can push the bottle into your shoulder bit. your tank was quite far back, so harder to hold comfortably, kinda like mine at the mo!

yeah suppose. ha, thats gonna be sweet! oh and anyone got a spare drop forward?

sorry for being nosy but my advise to you is to hold your marker in the most comfortable position possible that presents the smallest profile. In most cases holding your marker uncomfortably means your are playing in a very tight position(based on experience).

I used to do that but i realised the hopper is like a foot in the air so not such a great technique for me!

 

[ALEX JEYES]

what team do you play for dude.

Well our team hasnt really got off the ground so i suppose i will have to say no team.
