Very cool. I had an NYX back in 2002, with the external eye looped in the front. The Matrix is the grand daddy spool valve. It changed the industry to this day.

Woo! Another video from Coach! Glad to see you back! Those old Dm's are so cool and shoot amazing. Crazy how smooth they were back in the day. A buddy has a dm4 and man it's buttery and soft shooting. Also, any thoughts on getting the Macdev GT2 to compliment your XTS? lol

Stumbled on this video 10 minutes after placing an order on the Hydras. Dye pads were my second option thanks for the review man. Would be interested in seeing your thoughts on the "Bunkerkings V2 Supreme"

Great VLOG! Love seeing those vintage markers

Would you suggest to use a knee sleeve and knee pads? I was thinking of getting the planet eclipse and using a sleeve under to slide cancel and etc

Grow the Sport Paintball is an awesome company

Row, run and Row some more. Pushing 47 and feel better than I did when I was playing 20 years ago. The hardest thing is finding the time, but if you want it enough you will find it. 5 days a week 30-45 minute Row on a water rower & 3-4 mile run. Saturdays off for paintball and Sundays off to rest. No end in sight 👍🏼

We have a lot in common. Bout to turn 37 and I "retired" in 07, now making my triumphant (hopefully lol) return to my all time favorite sport!

80/4500 with 8 and 1/4 tubes. That is terrible. I would have expected at least 10-12 min with that large of a tank.

Great content brother keep up the good work

So if you have it on the outside and you go to the corner .you would be set up faster for the wire shot correct ? Also the stance at the box with the lead leg and sprinting mech would dictate opposite for the drive phase ? Lastly we always hear the game is all about milimeters / inches wouldn't you want that 1% or any % on your side to being alive off the break ? Side note preventing injury would be taking the time to get the body trained to with stain such movements by exercising them properly ?

Good video. Few players drill nor execute this properly. Think of it as nearly the same technique as running a 40-year dash. In fact, paintball players should study just that, "40-Yard Dash Start Technique" (search that in RUclips videos) and the only real differences are you have a marker in your back hand and your eyes are up to see the field as you run out. Wrong technique causes you to switch stride at the start of your run to get your arms and legs in natural rhythm, costing time and giving your opponents slightly more time to put a ball on you. Good video, keep them coming! --Charlie Givens, head coach of the MLKings.

Very good video! As an older player my self, (56) being in better condition makes playing better than younger people who do not devote time to. Also allows you to maximize your dollar value by playing longer at a field. Keep up the good work!

I think that as you learn more about the game, you may come to find that athleticism is only a minor portion of the professional game, and is actually the least interesting part of it. Of course spectacle is a part of spectator sport, but that's anathema to true sport. True sport is played for the fulfillment of the sportsman (or sportswoman), not the audience. I think a worthy question is "do we need more spectators?" If we do need more spectators, why do we need more spectators?

I still use my ION however if I fired that fast I would be in trouble because I have it set up as a long bow 20 rounds would be gone in a flash.

I've always thought thought that you want the knee up from the opposite side that you're planbing to move next. That let's kick off from that foot

If it separates then it cannot be any good for warm weather.

How do these lubes compare to other in cold temperatures?

Hey Ben, can you do a video reviewing or explaining the benefit of compression pants with padding and if it's they're any good? Or if you prefer a hybrid combination of padded shorts w/ independent knee pads? Thanks!

I am sorry Mate, but this is a Video that nobody needs. I am Playing since 1987 and I cant stop Laughing. Nike would say: JUst do it

I’d watch some of Ryan greenspans videos on diving. Also when you slide I’d try and keep your weight forward and use your hand as a pivot point

Love my 48L Carbon bag, use it for travel to all NXL events, and have been able to use it as a carry on for flying a few times.

Wtffffffff 😂

I would just add that I prefer to with my gun in my left hand when going out left.

I took almost all of 2023 off for just fitness, and it is wild how much better I handled a whole day of paintball after taking that year off. I used too be sore for days after playing, but despite my program focusing on hypertrophy, I could run faster and longer and I wasn't even sore at the end of the day. I play woodsball with my old shoebox Shocker or my stainless steel automag with heavy stainless steel barrel, so I needed the muscle. I don't know if it is normal for a woman in her late 30s but, I couldn't even lift 50lbs over my head before I started, now I can overhead press 75lbs for 15 reps and I keep getting stronger

I think realistically; keeping the currently involved parties happy means keeping it the way it is.. which really is pretty great. Too much change at once makes it seem like less of a serious sport. Let's keep adding cameras and brighter paint. That being said, i think 3man xball with limited paint would be fast and exciting. Ps do you live in the pnw?

Might be helpful. If you carry your cleats in a cleat bag./ drawstring bag. To keep the rest of ur stuff clean, after playing.

Looks good, surprisingly the packaging is on point and that definitely tells you about the quality in his work

From my expirience you need to master both stances, same as you train your right and left hands. Pluses for knee down on shooting side you alredy told but pluses of knee up is next: 1. If you know how to play both you dont need to switch them at all. 2 you can go up and down and not loosing balance ( try to stand up and keep the line staight from both stances and check with is more stable) 3 You will make faster move to the side witch you are shooting and if your knee up (cuz that leg will be your main and push you) Sorry for my English

I’ve had a pair of the dye pads for over 10 years and they are still identical to a brand new pair. No foam degradation or worn out Velcro. They are tight around my shins but my knees stopped hurting after I started wearing them so I don’t mind.

I had replaced all the o rings in my prime and this was happening on mine. I tried to pull the can apart and it was stuck shut. I had a heck of a time getting it back apart but I found out that I had to put in a lot of grease cause the o ring was to dry? After I put in a significant amount of grease the pinging sound went away. It was also a non factory o ring kit that I installed so the o rings were a little thicker.

13:30 I'm dealing with something similar. When holding my marker with my left (dominant) hand, hip sliding on my right side is really smooth and low. Barely feel any of it. Marker with my right hand? Completely different and sloppy. Need more time working on it.

On my Dye pod pack, those extra flaps have a tiny piece of velcro from the flap to the main pod holder. You could get some velcro and do the same thing. Black velcro of course :)

Nice review! I do the same with carabiners on the side of my bag. One to typically hold my mask, the other to hold dirty gear or odds and ends off a tent at the field.

Great gearbag breskdown! I love the backpack style bags. I use a 90L one so I can fit some extras like my lunchbox + water bottles but I can definitely see the benefit of being able to tuck the smaller bag away. Mine takes up quite a bit of space on the table. Especially once I whip out the marker stand and paint box.

Coming from a military standpoint that will make it better, you may want to put your heavier stuff on top and light stuff on bottom. Also maybe a bungie netting to attach the mask on top or on the back. Just a thought.

Much appreciated 🙏🏻

Nice new band! Love the orange 🧡

As a snake player of 3 years, I've gone through exalt, hydra, and dye knee pads. The exalt pads will NOT offer the same protection as dye pads because they're made of a thinner and softer foam layer. using the exalts for a year compressed the foam and they got worn out/compressed much faster than a dye pad would. From my experience, the dye pads have been the best for me and I will not be going back to exalt pads for this reason.

And now the hard part: Where the heck do we get clone 5 drives?

Torn meniscus is about as comfy as a kick in the balls or a gouged eye, but it lasts 6+ months. Use a good kneepad. Carbons suck. - Meniscus tear on the second time using them. First knee injury in 30 years of paintball.

This Man is probably one of the best strength and training coaches for beginners to long time athletes! I swear by his training program as he is extremely knowledgeable about paintball and being safe while playing! Check out his training program it's crazy affordable and you learn a ton along the way!

I don't even use my Hydras anymore. My knees were absolutely beat up after doing a light day at the field with them. My Dye pads are just too tight and everytime I try to break them in it just hurts to wear. I've been running the Bunkerking Supreme V2 knee pads and I love them so far.

Been waiting on this review. Thanks again.

He lives!!! My favorite paintball fitness & rehab youtuber lol

I have used the exalt pads and I do not like them. I had one pair for several seasons. I was sewing them back together myself as seems ripped and the foam wore right out. The only bonus is there is a large pocket at the front of the pad that I can slip in some dollarama foam kneepads to beef them up. I highly recommend doing that if you find the pads too thin.

Most comprehensive pad review on RUclips. Love my Dye pads and am grateful for your advice on choosing them

Can we get an update on how you liked them after using?

I wonder if the loader is peaking high in the db meter.

Cool video. Paint typically is always delivered to fields via freight, so it’s cool to see punishers can ship via normal carriers and not have any broken paint.
