Re: New Tippmann/Hammerhead Barrel

The velocity and twist rate surely would be fast enough to impart some spin to the ball. The twist rate seems very, very slow however. Whatever spin it may give the ball and weather is does anything useful is the question.

I don't understand how the .690 control bore can actually fully grab smaller paint to impart a spin effect. If the paint would roll out the control bore then one side of the ball wouldn't even be "grabbed" by the rifling.
