a speed feed needs to be treated much making love to a beautiful women chris. First you must break her in gently for the first few time. you must love her and look after her and then you can start jamming your load in every time....

They work great.

If you follow the directions on the packaging you shouldn't have any problems at all.
I have, so far, seen 5 damaged Speed Feeds out of the first 3000 or so sold and in two cases it was clearly done on purpose--Pro teams trying to damage them cus I said they couldn't under normal paintball use. In the case of the other 3 one appeared to have been bad. How that happens I don't know exactly but it may be all the moisture wasn't extracted when it was molded leaving tiny air pockets but that's the only explanation anyone can come up with to date.
The other two were the result of folks too aggressively flexing the fingers--and I mean flush against the outer wall and up and down over and over which finally put small tears in the wider fingers.

And despite claims to the contrary a lot of players tend to try and force the fingers down with their pots of paint and it is totally unnecessary. This typically doesn't damage the fingers but it does splay the center pair which lets paint out on occasion and can be fixed by scissoring the two center fingers until they realign properly.

So, if you get one--PLEASE-- actually read the directions and you shouldn't have any problems at all. (You'd likely be the first--to read the directions, that is.)


Rentonc--if you want to send it to me I'll check it out and if its a material defect I'll be happy to replace it.
