Prolly difference in weather or something but I am not really liking the Echo stuff so far. The cases we have gotten so far has dimples and we have to leave it out a bit before using it to get it usable or it just goes everywhere. I've loved the other Valken stuff so far and am just hoping this was an old batch sitting around.

How long has your field had it? If you leave any paint out in the heat/cold for an extended period it's going to be crap

They just started carrying it a month or two ago. Was using Infinity as the low grade before, now using Echo.

a little shop close to me carrys gi sportz, i bought a case of 2 star, $50bucks a case, it shot great,no dimples, no breaks, im trying to talk my friends into shooting something other than walmart crap, but they are hesitant to spend 50 on a case, is there any paint a little less that i could recommend to them?

Valken's low end stuff is usually decent. I think the Echo we are using was just sitting around a while.

Since you are fairly local, I should be in front royal this weekend if you want to shoot a few different grades of Valken, I could bring a few tubes out or a case of graffiti

I just picked up a case of the Valken Graffiti and it was shooting great. No paint issue and shot pretty damn straight! Cheers!
