Paintball

[sloonan]

I can attest to the awesomeness of the Vforce Profiler mask. While at a rec game at Skirmish, clumsy Scott tried to rush at the Tippmann Castle (The field is covered with large, painful rocks in front of the castle). What do you think happened to Scott? Well if you said he tripped and took a face plant onto a pile of rocks, you would be right. Not only did the Vforce lens take the impact, it only scratched the lens. What's the lesson that we learned? Scott is clumsy! Yay! And Scott will continue wearing the Vforce goggles that saved his face from being better acquainted with the rocks.

JT used to advertise that their Spectra lens could take a hit from a steel ball bearing. I don't think extra hard paint really compares. Besides, I get shot at all the time with really lousy paint (monsterballs, etc) and I'd want my mask to hold up to that. I'd like to see pics of the damage, and a chrono would be nice too. Even though I would expect my mask to protect me from a 350+ fps shot easily.

Had a nice, long telephone conversation with Jerry Wright, CEO of Save Phace, last night. Absolutely one of the nicest guys you will ever talk to. He talks to you like you're a friend he's known for years.

I had a concern over an order I had placed. Jerry called me personally to resolve it. Matter of fact, he called me twice. We talked about everything from paintball to bass fishing to owl sh*t! HAHAHAHA! Took all of 30 seconds to resolve the issue and spent the next 20 minutes just shooting the breeze.

How many paintball company CEOs would take time from their very busy day to call you and resolve a problem personally?

I'd also like to add that Paul Facio was equally friendly and eager to jump in and help resolve the issue when I returned Jerry's first call and he was unavailable. Thanks Paul!

Our friend test fired a bunch of shots directly at one. about half deflected off- neato! One however hit and broke the retaining clip. He was quite bummed about that. Also said the lens took a little doing to pop in.

He was a little concerned about the integrity of the lens as well- it took some damage at about 275 fps.

I'll wait a bit, let them get the kinks worked out, then order one of the American Flag ones!

I've emailed him as well with a few questions- he seems like an AWESOME person to deal with!

He's super friendly. I felt like a human being and not just a credit card number.

I actually talked to him about that incident. He said to have your friend call and tell him what happened and he'd "make it right."
