Ball Bustin', Where do you break your balls? Options

[Matt]

Hey all,
Just doing a bit of research for some product development, and was wondering what seems to be the most common form of breaking balls at the moment? Hoppers seem to be faster now and keep up with guns, meaning less chops, but the force feed seems to make hopper breaks more common. Is this true or are there other problems now?


Was wondering if you could give some advice (and clarify with maybe a post about the gat u use and the problems) to help try and identify some common themes?

I would have thought that the current level of breech sensor and loader technology would almost eliminate ball breaks in the gun or the feed neck. Force loaders can be quite brutal on fragile paint and that is where I have seen a majority of ball breaks. Premium paint that is well looked-after should reduce ball breaks in todays markers. The Ringers shot Powerball at this year's Big Game and Victory at last year's event and there was a marked difference in gun performance. I think your product developement budget should be aimed at getting more colour options on the Ego. You could have any colour combination you wanted on the Evos but there's no news of custom Ego fades. Sort it!
