Stealthknight - you seem to have been lucky. Last weekend a team by the name of Fallout visited Sparklies. One guy had a JT 5.0 , and they young lady of the deam had spent that little bit more and got a JT 6.0
The 6.0 did nothing but break paint, and be VERY incosistent. It only beat its poor performance, in the last game where the bolt pin flew out, and the bolt came out the back of the marker.
This caused the hammer to roll, and badly wear the inside of the body.
As for the Extra features, why do you need a voice prompt saying GO GO GO at the start of a game. youve got team mates do that. and as for the game timer, how are you meant to read that mid game?? give me a hopper mounted timer any time.
The 5.0 seemed fairly well behaved, but i would not personally recomend them to anyone. i think they are overpriced for what they are.
Both markers were less than a week old, and were used for the first time that day.
Needless to say, the 6.0 was sent back to where it was bought (which was the second one she had had, the first had issues aswell) and i think she is now looking at an impulse.
this is the first time i ever saw the JT, and i cannot speak for their markers as a whole, but if it could happen to this team, TWICE, then i would buy something slightly more reliable.
