Ollie Lang Signs With Action Sports

Ollie Lang, the Tiger Woods of paintball, has recently signed with company named Action Sports, a division of Headstrong Interactive Marketing Inc. Headstrong is going to work closely with Oliver, and focus closely on building sponsorships, marketting, endorsements, etc.

We know that Oliver is the best, most recognized and marketable player in his sport; major brands and companies like Coke, Pepsi, and Budweiser need to know about him. Combined with professional paintball’s phenomenal growth in popularity, we believe we can bring those brands into his portfolio and sport. – Mark Pages, Managing Director of Headstrong Action Sports.

This advance in Ollie’s career not only further’s the potential of supporting Action Sports, but it’s also one more advancement to the sport of paintball. Paintball is steadily pacing forward to all the other major sports as far as popularity goes. We says this because when there’s popularity, there’s money. When there’s money, there’s marketting.

Happy Labor/Paintball Day

Happy Labor Day weekend everyone. Hopefully I’ll be able to take a break from the paintball blog. Now, it has come to my attention that not everyone knows what Labor Day actually is. And you know, I don’t think anyone does. Scholars have reason to believe it was a day created by the Aztecs to set a day aside to clean and maintainence their paintball guns. Pardon my bad humor. Anyways, Labor day is an annual holiday that resulted from efforts of the labour union movement, to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers.

It basically means a day off from school :-).

Happy paintballing.

Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball MAX’D for PlayStation®2 to Launch in Fall 2006

Greg Hastins Tournament Paintball Game

3 days ago, on August 28th, Greg Hastings announced that launch of GHTP for the Playstation 2 platform.

“GHTP MAX’D PS2 is faster-paced, has more realistic action and is super fun and challenging,” said Greg Hastings. “Fanning the triggers, jumping over ‘Snake’ bunkers, tight new authentic fields, snap shooting, turbo speed, diving – all this means the game is faster and more intense than ever.”

Critics claim that the new PS2 paintball game is considered the most fast paced PS2 game on the market. This version of GHTP differs from the rest. It’s speed performance has increased for the Sony platform, giving it a total of 60 frames per second. (That’s a good thing).

Greg Hastings’ Tournament Paintball MAX’D for the PlayStation 2 system will be available Fall 2006. GHTP MAX’D cell phone game soon to be available on Verizon, AllTel, and Amp’d Mobile. The cell phone game is what i’m looking forward to 🙂

How To Shoot Faster – Strengthening Your Trigger Pull

It surprises me how many paintballers dance around one of the most elementary ideas of the sport of paintball… ripping paint! Now, I am in no way saying that your paintball skills solely rely on how many paintballs your shoot per second, but certainly you would agree with me that it has some importance. For example: You’re playing in a tournament, you and only one opponent is left in the game. You have the most accurate gun ever made, but you shoot 3 balls per second (BPS). Your opponent however, has his pimpin’ Smart Parts Ion and able to shoot 20 BPS. There is a small chance you would win, but the Ion player is much more likely. It’s just logical. Paintball isn’t just about accuracy, but logic. You must be able to lay down a line of paint at 15-20 BPS in order to provide coverage for your teammates. Point made.

That said, I have humbled myself enough to give a short and simple tutorial on how to increase the rate of your firing speed.

Get a rubber band, preferably two.

Rubber Band

Locate a hand and fingers you’d like to strengthen. Preferably your own and attached to a body.
Hand

Proceed to wrap the rubber band(s) around your pointer and middle finger like so…
Rubber Band Wrap

This part is optional, but highly recommended. Wrap the rubber band(s) again around your fingers to create more tension, and in turn strengthen your fingers in a more timely manner. Rubber Band Double Wrap

This is the exercise. What you’re going to do is simply pretend you’re ripping on your favorite paintball gun. Proceed to lift one finger up at a time, alternating up and down, just as you would when walking your gun. Try varying the speed of how you’re doing this. Try going in slow motion, to “rip” the finger muscles in order for them to rebuild stronger than before. Now try going really fast. Up

Do this every day for at least 5 minutes. Every week, see how faster you’ve become by using this trigger pull game as a way of testing your trigger pull BPS.

Force be with you.
