I have to agree with hired gun. You really do not need that long a barrel in speedball but sometimes it comes down to personal preference and what you are comfortable with. I use a 12" unported Palmers and a 12" J&J ceramic. These work the best for me. What may work for me, may not for you. Try your barrel and see if it will work. The length will be you biggest thing to work around. Other thing is that you may not want to stay stationary for very long. You do not want the opposing team to pin you in. Good luck.
