markers for back players

[Dave S ECI]

Matrix seems like a good idea. cockers are good. angels are good.

They are all good, maybe even extreme e mag with warp feed.

Whats your budget mole and are you looking to buy brand new or second hand?

 

[mole]

my budget will be about £800-1000 so i think new air system second hand gun
i tried gimps cocker but it only had a 10 inch barrel i like the feel of the angel but i dont think it has the range to work at 7 man my own view is a very good cocker or a matrix

How about an Impulse Vision? Whole package including air system & 68cu bottle is £750 + vat, which looks like it's within your budget.

Stop saying those things about being way out of your knowledge and things. You give good advice dude, and you're always helpfull to the new guys. This board needs more people like you.

Thanks Jay that's really cheered me up .

Its official, I know what I'm talking about all I was saying was that I don't know anything about upgrading shockers or about electros at all.

Anyways, Mole Ravi gave this piece of advice in his Cocker Upgrade article in this weeks excellent PGI (hint freestuff hint) that before you upgrade you should decide what you are upgrading (or if you just want more shiney things...)

Good luck finding the marker for you

Heres my 2 cents worth.....

I have played a back role with pretty much all the markers mentioned here and have to say they all perform well, the Matrix (current marker) is excellent and shoots very similar to a cocker but a lot faster. Loved my Shocker when I had one and the Impulse is also a great marker (especially considering the price). I think you need to find a marker and setup (bottle/drop-forward/cradle) that feels as comforatble as possible for you. Just remember that if you are playing 7 (or even 10 now) man you might need to be able to shoot more than 7 pots plus a hopper in a single game - think about that when selecting bottle size.
I run Matrix, 1.5l 4500psi airsystem and find this works fine for me.
Take Charlies advice and try out as many different types of markers as possible b4 deciding.

How did the temple go?

similar choice i had to make then again i play front and already had a 1.1 4500 maxflow.

i thought the matrix was better then the eclipse cockers several people have lent me even tho i thought the snappy trigger on the eclipse was outstanding very nice to shoot.

ascutt has your Matrix been CNC a dark blue/grey colour with i think image curved in the side

Hey Mole, I'm thinking of flogging my Eclipse Vision Impulse + Hyper frame+1.5 Angel AIR. You can tale it for a spin at Temple this Sunday (can't remember if you're playing or not) or at the next training day.

 

[Mr_Toads_Wild_Ride]

why u selling u want a matrix? or just decieded to use the cocker more these days?

My matrix is so sweet

 

[mole]

i should be at temple on sunday to watch the skulls play but i will be sitting this one out i would like to try your set up see you there
having reread the previous posts it seems that people have misjuged my request for advice i would like to say thanks to every body who replied but i have been playing rec ball for 10 years and tornys for 3years and my team the grim reaper skulls have just turned am i was hoping for more technical ad vice

Scutty's Matrix is a Shocktech Matrix and yes it is dark/blue grey color. I just figured I would tell you, since he didn't post
