The Halo TSA is only fractionally faster than a revvy - the main difference is that the paddles spin in whichever direction is best to feed balls depending on which way you're leaning.

The Egg is a good deal faster, but I've never had much luck with them, and still seem to chop on most markers I've used them on during sustained fire, even at modest ROF.

The Halo B is without doubt the fastest of the lot, although you'd better make sure your ball detents are stiff enough to cope with the pressure on the ball stack. Also, reliability has been a major headache for me and manyother people. Hopefully the Z code will alleviate some of the motor burnout problems though.

p.s. The rip drive won't make a Halo feed any better or faster, but it lets you manually load balls into the stack if it decides to die halfwy through a game. It is just a crank handle for the feeder cone.

In reality, the Evo II only delivers about 13 or 14 bps during sustained firing. It can get up to 16 or 17 bps for short bursts, but can't keep up with a Halo B which can consistently feed about 20 bps.

I'm using a Halo B with the Z code on my speed (also with a low rise) and have been very pleased so far.

Halo w/ z software and rip-drive is faster and better to use for speed. I use a Matrix with an eye, i shoot about 14-16 bps, my Halo doesn't have trouble keeping up. When the paint is dark, or your batteries die, or whatever, the rip drive lets you pretension 15 balls or so- more convenient than sticking your finger into the hopper and turing the cone that way.

The Z code does affect the burn out problem, yeah it helps them burn out quicker, my captain bought 3 new halo's with the z code at campaign and one burnt out at Campaign and on burnt out during the Welsh Open, and the people where not shooting fast, just shooting lots. so for realiability i would go for an eggII even though they are not as fast as a Halo but i think they are much better.

Have you got the latest set of eyes for the Halo?

We moaned at odessey and got 6 sets of new eye sensors sent over. One blue tint, the other smoked rather than clear like the originals. No more Halo problems since! :D
