Golf Training
Test firing rap4′s GOLF balls. These are powder filled, wax shelled “paintballs” that are dimpled like a golf ball. The theory is they will go further and be more accurate. I think the video shows otherwise. I did a full review here: nwwoodsball.com Don’t forget to rate the video before you leave! Thanks, J

This vid really helped, thank you! i was about to waist $29.95+S&H for 500 of these damn things. Thanks again for the great demo.
Best g.o.l.f test what i have seen. Thanks.
@MexicanKiwi1989 lol agreed
wow really? In that case these things are awful! Way to show RAP4 they’re full of shit lol. Good stuff bro!
@MexicanKiwi1989 I was shooting at 260, 245, and 220 with pretty much the same results…
i’d like to know what velocity this guy is shooting at though. Even with regulat pbs if the velocity is too high they’ll do that
@cassman1979 they use powder because it doesnt settle like paint does so weight is distibuted more evenly. liquid paint also resists acceleration so powder scientificly showld make em fly better. the dimples made them shoot themselves in the foot though, they suck.
its has something to do with liquid slowing down the paintball where powder doesnt but after seeing this vid they look like crap
You can see the individual balls make sudden changes of direction in flight, corkscrewing and even zig-zagging.
No matter how good or bad a shot the shooter is, that kind of erratic *ball* behaviour after leaving the barrel (has nothing to do with the shooter) will throw off anybody’s aim.
yeh i dont have a clue why they would go for a powder fill they ar heavier aswell coz of it
Thanks for the reply, yea I already seen that video, I was moreless wondering why they would go to the powder instead of keeping the paint fill.
@cassman1979 the dimples ar meant to break the air flow or something and make them go farther but i dont see it infact i think they ar more inaccurate check out cockerpunk they just did a video on these balls a little while ago
what is the reasoning behind them as far as them being power filled?
@Yare1000RR Glad I could help!
well, i was considering buying some to check them out. no need to now. thanks for saving me some cash! 5 stars for saving the consumer money ;~)
I agree, I have never been a proponent of dimpled paintballs. Tom Kaye convinced me of that a long time ago. I would like to see how a consistently made smooth ball performs before going into how deformed ones do. The seam on regular paintball is what causes most accuracy problems anyway. A no seam paintball would be fun to test.
@LoveMyMagMoreThanYou Yeah, the wax shell/powder fill could still have potential if they removed the dimples. If you hold one of these, you’ll notice the seam is dimple-less which is probably what causes the squirly flight.
That’s too bad. I am always interested in different formulations for the outside of a paintball as I see that as the major pitfall of paintballs. If we could see a new material used on the outside of paintballs that resisted the external temp and humidity we could improve the shelf life and accuracy of the balls.
@bigras0272 I was shooting regular paint all day long, and yes, I’m a pretty good shot.
Follow the link in the description for full info on the setup(s) I tried.
I stand by my final comment. The balls are garbage.
I have tried these balls with my SP-1 with Freak .687 insert and was very impressed with them. To be fair, I would have like to have seen the same guy shoot a hopper of regular paintballs, to prove he was not a good shot with either types. Don’t blame the balls!
LOL! Love the closing comment. Those were interesting in concept, but sucked in use. I would not want to get hit by one though.
O M G!!! that sucks.. the balls i mean
u can’t get a single straight shot with those.
@vietdude03
There’s a link to the review in the video description.
whats the velocity, bore size, and barrel length?
they suck
