Well, unless someone on here can say "do X, and its fixed", give tippmann a call...
Any of my personal friends that have dealt with them have had nothing but good experience with their customer service.

: Yep, another Flatline question...

: So, I bought one a little while ago and I'm having trouble getting it to work effectively. I installed the barrel as per the instructions and I've been using Marballizer which I hear is supposed to work quite well.

: When I shoot, the ball starts curving upwards until it is about 130ft out or so and it starts dropping. After it starts dropping, it gets erratic curving either left or right. It seems to me that it is getting too much backspin causing it to lift rather than travel straight.

: Now, for my questions: Are there any tricks for reducing the amount of backspin it gets to make it shoot flatter? Is this the common characteristics of a defective barrel? If so, whom should I contact (I assume Tippmann instead of the place I purchased it from).
