paint poll

The question is, would teams that practice at PAG prefer a white box type of paint for a lot less price or stay with what we use now.

how much less??? if really cheap probly that

I've never used the white box paint, so I'm not sure what the quality is like, but if it is still around the same then yeah probally the white box.

White box would be nice because its cheaper but it is crappy quality

the x-ball shoots good.

I'd have to try it first. How much worse could it be?

The white box option would allow more players to play more regularly, and thus facilitate more players' development and more high-caliber e-town teams in our great sport.

I say give it a shot.

Yah, white box is good paint for the price and it shoots straight......but sometimes it comes in bad batches and you get a real crappy case on occasion. I think if you had both the Competitive Edge White Box for a lower price and the paint your using right now at the same price it would give people the chance to play more often if there on a budget. And for the people who perfer a higher quality paint for there markers they can get what your using now.

Definatly White-Box, the quality would be less, but it would allow players to play/practice more often. And seeing as it would be practice paint, you don't need the top quality out there. Personally a chopped ball or two and the few curve balls you'll be throwing are well worth the saved money/more playing trade off. And, for the players who simply can't stand the White-Box, you could always allow the option of purchasing the higher grades of paint at the higher cost.

*Edit* Just looked at CanadianPaintball.com and the White-Box is $30 a case, which is half the cost of X-Ball Bronze. Having the option of saving half the amount of money you usually spend, or even shooting twice the amount of paint is definatly an amazing deal, even if the paint is lower quality.

i wouldn't mind using it would cut down on my paint bill

It would definetly make it easier for me to come out pretty much every week.. after playing for a few weeks in a row, I'm on course for taking a break, simply because I need to pool my resources into other things.

ive tried both white box and the current paint and havent noticed big enough differences between the two to justify the price difference plus its just for practice. i say white box

I say go white box, i know im taking a break because I am trying to save up some money for university and stuff, so spending 3/4 of my paycheck on paintball just isnt practical at this point in my life. Thats why alot of you havent seen me out at the field in awhile. I finally sat down and prioritized, and god it sucks :(

the quality isn't that different between the 2 and every one likes to save cash, so whitebox i my vote. just as long as we don't use whitebox paint in tourneys

wow its 50/50 ... i say whitebox because it would enable people who arent well off or kids that dont have jobs a chance to play more often.

notice that almost all the people who vote against getting whitebox don't even post and say why and the people for it are providing a ton of good reasons. Whitebox!

get both for the ballers on a budget.

Xball!!!!

i agree with shaft, x-ball all the way,i shot white box once before, mashed inside my gat!

X-Ball, it isnt worth the trouble for me to take apart my gun after everygame to clean out a chop and clean my eyes. Allthough i do believe their should be the option for people to buy white box if their short on cash.

i love the xball so thats what I would shoot. but if we start shooting White Box paint, im bringing out the Reloader II. lol

I like the idea of having the option to purchase white box, at times i would buy White Box if money is short, before tounrys etc. But I would say sell xball and stuff and white box

There are so many different kinds of white box, really cheap like that stuff Canadian out of Winnepeg sells, I would say bring in a better quality of white box such as Rec Sport, its what pag had for rentals, it wasn't bad I would shoot that for practices. Both x ball and white box should be available.

i really dont care but white box is cheaper so ... the y got my vote

Mach, the white box on canadian paintball is Competitive edge which is made my Draxxus.

does anyone have some laying around so i can try it???? (whitebox all the way)

To me, providing that the paint is adequate in functionality, this would facilitate more practice and subsequently, resulting in improved skill levels amongst the participants.

D- Shiznak, maybe comp. edge is made be draxus but the white box i got from can. winnepeg is not draxus, can. paintball does not sell draxus.

Message from the CEO of CanadianPaintball.com:

The whitebox paint we sell is not Competitive Edge. Competitive Edge hasn't been in our possession for probably a year now. By far this paint is our #1 seller, mostly because of the price.

Like I have slways said to everyone - you get what you pay for. If you want $25.00 paint, expect $25.00 paint. You want $50.00 paint, you get the idea. You have to decide yourself what you want to pay for paint, which will equal it's quality, performance, consistency, fill shell, etc. If you want the best of the best, you'll pay the highest price.

Here is what customers typically say when they see $25.00 whitebox paint:

"Wow, $50.00 for two boxes of whitebox paint, or $50.00 for one box of paint."

We sell this paint in far greater numbers than the next highest quality ball we sell. No one complains, because they know what they're paying for. We can barely keep it in stock.

And they keeping coming back for more and more and more.

ya right, not me

I say keep both white-box and X-ball because some players can't afford to practice as much as they want because of money restrictions. Im on a budget so i would probly go for the white box for practices and X-ball for tournies.

whitebox may be cheap but it sucks for quality compared to x-ball

i like the x bal,l but bring in both to suite every ones needs and wants .

for 50 buck or lke 55 fur sure

How much of a differance in price are we talking about here?

Let's say on team night... we usually get a special on xball cases... which is a HUGE factor for me deciding to come play.

Would there also be some sort of special for the teams on this new white box stuff?

If the differance isn't very significant, I'm certain to go with the xball.

If I could get twice as much paint for the same cost, I would play twice as much.

Double the feild fees for you, I'd prolly buy more gear, and I would become a better player, much faster.

Ya i think you shoudl try out whitebox and see how it goes if people like it keep it if people hate it dont order more of it but never get rid of xball

the cheaper the better

sell both

omfg, I cant believe that Xball isnt getting all the votes! like, wtf?
