And that, dear sir, is what sets you apart from the vast majority of industry pundits who are trying to ram this stuff down the throats of unsuspecting teens who only want to use their lunch money to play some 'ball.

That would be a double negative and would create a vortex that would suck the world in. I don't worry about CERN's particle collider....i worry about carter!!!

Lies. The shell is "40% thinner" so it probably breaks any time it gets within 2 feet of a net.

Just like the shell in the videos that's exactly the same thickness as .68? Can you show me some videos of .50 shell being measured that's 40% thinner please?

Turn your sarcasm detector on Tug.

It's getting overloaded from so much time on the nation. That and the screen name resembles a guy who is still pushing it over there.

Paul Richards wrote about it on his blog. For sure some fields use thinner netting at higher levels, and this could be an issue.

No video of this exists, because a shell with paint 40% thinner than 68 caliber doesn't exist yet that the public have access to. We did have some very thin paint shell in the Beta testing, but i don't know the exact ribon thickness. I will try to find out though...

Richmond said in video that it is possible to make the shell 40% thinner. That doesn't mean that 40% thinner is better though. For example 20% thinner might be the optimum thickness... or 10%, or 30%.

My guess is the GI MIlsim paint aquired at WC is 68 caliber thickness and fill that has been produced with a new die roll, but with no other changes to the paint properties... I'd expect the next batches of paint that get made to have different properties to the paint you guys are currently testing.

Hey Red,
What color are the Emperor's new pantaloons gonna be in the next batch?

Any unfounded guesses or random supposition on that issue yet?
