Spyder Becomes Major CFOA Sponsor

(Lexington, North Carolina): Spyder has become a major sponsor of the CFOA Tournament Series for 2007. While specific terms of the agreement have not been disclosed, Spyder will support CFOA and its players across every format offered by the league, from five-man airball to the new and much-anticipated ten-man scenario competition to be offered by the league for the first time in 2007.

“I’m ecstatic to welcome Spyder to the CFOA family,” league Marketing and Sponsorship Director Joshua D. Silverman said after the agreement was reached. “Spyder is an industry-leading brand offering affordable products for the full spectrum of the game. To have a name as respected as theirs associated with the CFOA is an honor and we look forward to seeing them at league events in 2007 and beyond!”

An industry leader who revolutionized the game of paintball by making semi-automatic performance affordable for every level of player, Spyder manufactures an extensive line of paintball equipment for any style of play from recreational games to tournament competition. The Spyder VS series has redefined the performance and appearance of the Spyder line, while the MR line of military-style paintball markers make the woods a dangerous place for any player not equipped with a Spyder. The new Fasta series of performance paintball loaders provides top-level tournament performance and feed rates of up to thirty balls per second at an affordable price. The complete line of Spyder products including markers, loaders, bunkers, packs, paintballs and protective gear may be viewed on www.Sypder.tv or purchased from local paintball retailers.

“For years we have received positive reports about events run by the CFOA,” said Spyder Marketing Coordinator Dan Weber, “therefore it is our pleasure to provide support for such an upstanding and professionally managed organization! Very few paintball tournament circuits have even come close to reaching the level of success that Josh and the CFOA have attained on the East coast and we wish them all the best this coming season!”

The world’s largest producer of five-man paintball tournaments, the CFOA has offered players in the Southeastern United States a highly competitive tournament experience at an affordable price since 1999. Offering classic center-flag five-man, divisional X-Ball and now even tactical ten-man scenario competitions throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee at world-class paintball parks, the CFOA has built a framework of high-value regional competition paintball on a firm foundation of customer service.

Proto Axis mask on review

Proto Axis Mask

The new mask in the Proto Switch line is the Axis mask. At first glance, the Axis has a tighter profile compared to the Proto Switch FS. The extra rubber in the cheek area of the Switch FS has been done away with. I think Proto was influenced by all the players that were cutting the extra material off of their Switch FS masks. The Proto Axis mask does have a “Star Wars”esque look to it. I personally put it in the “cool” category while others have been a little critical on the looks.

Easily detachable anchors

The Axis still maintains the quick “Switch” feature that makes lens changing a simplistic task. Just turn the goggle strap anchors 1/8th of a turn on each side of the Axis and remove the goggle strap. You are now able to remove the outer frame and the lens. It shouldn’t take anyone more than a minute to remove, clean, and replace the lens. The thermal lens is the same as all the other lenses in the current Proto Switch lineup. The goggle frame is very sturdy and the “Switch Lock” system does a great job of keeping the lens securely in place.

The two-layered foam is the same as the Proto FS mask, it is very comfortable and sweat absorbing. I like that there is a break of the foam around the temples region that does not hinder players that wear glasses.

Break in foam for glasses

The ear and mouth protection is all one piece and molded with a soft rubber-like material. The face mask is soft enough to cause some balls to be deflected without breaking. All the lines come together to ensure that nothing is sticking out that absolutely does not have to help you stay in the game. Nothing (aside from the visor) hangs out to take a ball impact needlessly. As I’ve stated before, the profile is very tight and I think that is really important to the players today due to the “non altered mask” rule that many of the major events are enforcing.

Easy to disassembled

The rubber grill in front of the mouth will focus your voice to anyone in front of you. This was well thought out as some manufacturers for the tourney player have forgotten about the fact that you need to be able to talk to your teammates. This mask gets my vote for the mask to have for all the coaches in the X Ball pits.

Proto Axis on Aftermath

For the hard core tourney player, the Proto Axis mask is definitely one to seriously look at. Thermal non-fogging lenses, quick lens replacement, soft absorbent foam, and the super tight profile make the Proto Axis receive high marks in my book.
