The following paint brands have been BANNED from Fox 4 due to safety issues. These balls typically sit around for long periods of time prior to reaching the shelves and ultimate the customers. This aging process cause the balls to become very hard and less likely to break on impact - causing you (or your son/daughter) a level of pain not necessary to enjoy the sport of paintball.
Additionally, any ball purchased at a big box store (Wal-mart, Dicks, etc..) most likely has taken several weeks or months to get to the shelve. Even quality paints will perform poorly when they've sat around for several months.
Buy fresh - support your local paintball supply store.
