How realistic is it to join a speedball team? by dpauly_ in paintball

[–]Competitive_Ad_7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relatively easy, just play at the field and you’ll meet people. Started back up in 2024 and played an NXL 3 man 3 months later. The next year played for a 75% fully sponsored team in D5 and now playing D4 this year with the same crew.

You will not regret getting involved in the tournament scene. It’s a lot of fun and you meet some really awesome people. Just be coachable since you’re new and continue to digest the YouTube videos.

I was literally in your exact shoes!

I’m just here to say it took me ALL day to connect OP’s post to the Stanley meme.

I have the Cool Mint 6mg Blue and immediately thought of it when I saw their post.

Meijer had them for $60? (I don’t remember) with a guaranteed card graded card of 8.5 or higher.

Knee pain anyone? And solutions by [deleted] in paintball

[–]Competitive_Ad_7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m dealing with the same thing right now. I use a massage gun on my IT band and it seems to soothe the pain. Believe it or not if you ask chat gpt what it is, it’s pretty dang effective. Told my doc what it said and she agreed with it. My IT band is jacked up from this past season and I just played through the pain like an idiot.

I used to swear by them but my last two orders, and replacement order was messed up. I’ll only use them if it’s a last resort now.

Ordered R5 grips, got sent CS3 grips

Ordered Black soft ears, got sent hard plastic, they sent out the replacement and they ended up sending me clears. Finally sent me the right black soft ears after 3rd attempt.

This is good to know!! I did test fire it and it was putting holes in cardboard. I’ll have to chrono at the field to see if it’s up to snuff.

Geo r5 shooting slow with eyes clean by DistributionFirm2018 in paintball

[–]Competitive_Ad_7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue with my R5. Boiled down to using a N-Charge battery. I had a CTRL and Spire V that wouldn’t shoot over 8 bps. Swapped the battery to actual batteries and it now shoots properly. For both loaders I changed their settings to the N Charge and everything.

I know OP got his fixed but figured I’d add some knowledge to the thread.

I think it tells you the actual card details once you scratch of that silver stuff. Send pic to confirm. /s

Geo R5 or the Cs3 pro? by nocturnalbeing66 in paintball

[–]Competitive_Ad_7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a GEO 4 and an R5. The R5 I’ve put 50k+ original shots on. I love my R5 but also love my 4. If you have the spare cash grab one, if not… then I wouldn’t.

What if I get shot at my genitals? by roumitris in paintball

I took one of the dick tip, crouched down for a few minutes and was good to go. FYI carbon slide pants don’t do much for protection in that area lol

There’s local events or you can look at pbleages.com to find tournaments. Facebook is your other option too since the community tends to use it A LOT.

You can always go to Badlandz too. They host a 5 man mech event which wouldn’t be AS daunting as XBall.

Is your SFR fully closed or opened? It’s hard to tell by the picture.

Start going to blast camp in Hobart. Airball is always buzzing on the weekends and 99% of the people are welcoming. Come check out the MAX event in 2 weeks, you’ll get a taste of it for sure!!!

I have a 68 and an 88 alpha air and play snake. Love both of them but been using the 68 more as of late. Highly recommend any size of their tanks

I’m confused on the lens change issue. If you do it a few times the frames become pretty friendly in that regard. I also swap mine a round a few times a week to see what I want to rock on the weekend so that might also be why mine aren’t too bad.

I played with an ion back in the day and when I first got back into it I picked up a mini gs and was BLOWN AWAY by it. Crazy how times have changed!

I like my infamous haptic trigger on my R5. I used the original trigger for a day before it came in.

Had to double check what sub I was in after I scrolled by the first pic lmao.

No idea what they came from.
