Hey... how often do school/college kids... or even amateur adults hit a ball at 75mph +... where have you beenTw!sted said:51/2 Oz ball going 75+ MPH on a rock hard pitch in at the ribs is going to be far worse in the short & long term than a 'few'g paintball going 300fps. Think about it.
Playing cricket for the last 8 years
It's not too hard to hit it with a bat 75+ and 75 mph is considered medium-fast (as opposed to fast-medium our just out & out fast) even amongst average AM players. I play in a pretty decent league, to a pretty decent standard and clubs around here have had professional or 'the next big thing' players as their overseas, some of these guys bowl upwards of 90MPH at amateur adults. Getting hit by that even with padding wrecks, haven't taken one unpadded but it will be very bad.
It's a duller pain that lasts far longer than getting hit by a paintball. The combined weight of 15 paintballs at 300FPS would cause less damage than a 5 1/2 oz cricket ball at 75-80mph.
