Reball results?
- Thread starter ices
- Start date
We have got a few of them that have been sent over to us and I will say this much, one of the reasons we did OK last year was that a lot of the guys on the team managed to get their fingers out their ass midweek, put their beers down, put their teddy-bears away (Bowen), unplug themselves from the TV and practice in their own gardens.
This way, our training snap shots were kept 'on edge' throughout the weeks leading up to a tournament.
It's all well and good practicing at weekends only to see the technique being practiced degrade because you can't practice it at home.
If you watch Jamie Abbott's snap, he didn't get that by luck, he got it because he worked his ass off as did a lot of the other guys on the team and believe it or not, the majority of this work was carried out at home or down Campiagn midweek.
We did all this with real paint but the Reball is gonna cut that cost down for any aspiring baller.
We will be using Reball extensively this year as part of an ongoing training programme we gotta get our heads into.
The Reball makes it a lot easier for a lot of people for obvious reasons to practice at home or down their local site if it's set up correctly.
Now before anyone says, 'Pete, well you would say that, your team is frikkin sponsored by them'
Very true, but ask yourself this, we have got more than enough paint for both teams for the year ahead, why on earth would I even consider letting anybody use Nexus to endorse their products if we had no real use for them because we only get the ReBall, there is no cash attachemnt to this deal whatsoever.

Yeh using the Reball on grass would be very boring!
But as we are doing at Joy Center, we will have a netted field with carpet and on all sides like a gutter system. Then we push the balls in the gutter and clean them with water for the next day.
An investment that will pay off in 2 weeks and consequently we dont have to buy new paint for that field every week.
1 sweep per day, takes less time than cleaning the guns and goggles after each group. And its free balls for customers so they are really happy. It also helps if you have a compressor on site.
Indoors, everything is mush easier.

Magued,
Can you tell me if the reball product creates any risk of damage for the marker? I know they are desinged to be the same size and weight but is there any danger that the reball product could prematurely damage marker components such as the bolt?

No!
The target balls we been using have had no impact on the bolts or barrel. the first rental balls we tried did. But we found out the reason very fast and the Rental balls we have ready now havent damaged anything after 3 weeks of hard testing.
It all comes down to test the product under real situation. This is pretty much the reason this project have taken over 2 years now. Its not hard to make a rubber ball. But try to make it fly straight at 300 fps!
And all other issues with lubrication, bolt and barrel problems, to soft, to hard, to heavy and how different material react being shoot 100 of times thru a barrel and hitting something hard etc etc.
The Reballs that will come out this month ( Hopefully) will be awesome!

Any idea on a (uk) price yet Magued? Im rather curious about picking up a case for snap-shot training in the garden.
