wtf/ stop believing all that shit...just get a ultralite and enjoy the
performance from it...they are well made barrels...shoot around corners,
what shit it is for these guys to say that...another words at any distance
you will not be able to take a runner out cause you have a barrel that
shoots around corners... will this group ever see the light ?? stop and look
at the pros...like it or not do you see what they use...must be a reason and
no guys it is not SPONSORSHIP....you have to shoot straight ...don't think
for one second spray and pray is x-ball or speed cause if you don't shoot
straight your gone.

Ha ha ha ha. I was at a tournament some years back where the old Ironmen
were still being sponsored by J&J, and Bobby thanked them for their support
at the awards ceremony. Meanwhile, most of the team wasn't actually
shooting J&J barrels, they were either using early DYE barrels or DACs, all
the while still happy to take their official sponsor's help of course.

The bottom line is that the "pros" use what they can get for free so long as
it doesn't put them at a disadvantage, and they'll switch brands in a
heartbeat if someone offers them a better sponsorship deal. Hell, I
remember the Ironmen going from JT to Scott and back to JT in a couple of
seasons, all the while claiming whatever they were using at the time was the
best. And nothing has changed, look at the teams that change gun brands
from one year to the next with no visible impact on their winning record.

Sure, they don't use the really goofy stuff like shoots-around-corners
barrels, unless you count the Smart Parts "Magic Box," but other than that
they use what they're paid to use. Sorry Tony, but *sponsorship* is 99% of
the reason "pro" players use a particular brand or model, to pretend
otherwise is silly, it's *all" about sponsorship.

Whether there will be enough sponsorship next year to keep them going
remains to be seen, at the rate the revenue stream is drying up the "pros"
might be lucky to get sponsored by their local pizzeria.

If it works, why not use it? Tard.
