What are people thoughts on these. Any good worth picking one up?? ( Yes foot i know i can ask you but i want to see what other people thoughts are )
Just take mine out one day and use it, its the only way you will know if its for you. But if you are looking for something to partner up with your ability maybe go for a proto primo
http://p8ntballer-forums.com/threads/new-virtue-spire-hopper.149278/page-3 There are a few small reviews on the thread above. I have since sold my Rotor and use the Spire. I love it. No jams even with not so round paint. Ultra quiet(no loud whirring noise like rotor when empty) Its lighter and even easier to take apart than the rotor. It holds a true 200 balls. I cannot comment on battery life as I have only put about 4 cases through it but guys on the nation say they have put 20000 through it and still going strong on the same batteries. Im totally sold on them and I think they will become more and more popular. As foot says try it out first as every one has different opinions...
You could if you really want to... The post will get deleted, and if you aim it @foot , he can still read it regardless
I have 2 rotors, Z2 and the new Spire. The Spire is good and having put 2 boxes of paint through it, I think its pretty good. Frenchy said its quiet which I agree which can be a problem.....firing away and before you know it you run out of paint but think "why am I not shooting". With the rotor you hear the loader when its empty I guess its something to get use to. I'd rank it Spire, Rotor and Z2 last
I've only shot about 1200 balls through my Spire... originally I thought "why did I sell my Rotor for this?" as I found I had loads of balls in the nose cone... then I realised when I was testing it, I was shooting downwards I heard there is an update to the speedfeed, but looks like you have to buy a new one to have it :/
It has a huge red flashy light letting you know you are outta paint?? Rather have that than a massive whirring next to my face ;D
Well its just a thing I'm getting used to. I do like the Spire and all the top loaders have their merits
not sure if this is true but i heard if you send off the old speedfeed with i think a tenner theyll send you back the new one not sure if this is true but hope this helps mate
That promotion apparently ended on Jan 1st. I've been speaking to Mike @ Virtue and he's given me a few options; Get my local store to order some in then ask the store if they'll trade it in (why would they?). Give my speedfeed to someone who is going to the 1st Millenium game and Virtue will swap it out for 10 Euros - I don't play tourney and don't know anyone going :/ Post my speedfeed to Virtue in France and they swap it + 10 Euros. Buy the new one, sell the old one.
I think Jason said £39.99 - £10 more than the Crown2. Stores are getting them either yesterday or next week.
love my spire never used rotor but quiet easy to come apart never jammed now had approx 3-4 cases threw it would recommend it never used rotor so couldnt help to say any difference but more the happy with spire
