Paintball is a great stress buster which, at the same time, sharpens your instincts and stimulates your strategic thinking. However, it requires costly equipment which often prevents an average player from taking his skills to the next higher level. If you too are a paintball enthusiast on a short budget, we give below some inexpensive ways of mastering the game.
1.Physical fitness: Paintball is a war game and requires warlike physical activities. A paintball player often needs to crawl, run or jump in addition to showing quick physical responses.
So, get into shape and increase your stamina by good diet and proper exercise like brisk walking or running. If you have vices like smoking, drinking or taking drugs, move away from them as soon as possible.
2. Information: The actual skills of the game are no doubt learned on the field. Yet, it helps to have as much knowledge of the strategies and other aspects of the game from whatever sources possible. Read relevant articles online, or in books and magazines you can get. These will give you useful tips and suggestions to enhance your skill.
3. Visual practice: Paintball field is the world for a paintball player. Look at it closely and visualize it as often as you can. Crazy though it may sound, yet you can develop your instincts even in a supermarket. Visualize where other shoppers are, what will be their next moves, what ways can be used as escape routes, etc., and see how fast your instincts sharpen.
4. Preparation: When going for a game, prepare all the equipment and accessories in advance. Pack batteries, towels, pads carefully so that you don't waste time after the start of the game.
5. Clothing: Wear appropriate and comfortable clothing, sufficiently loose to allow for easy movements. Wear camouflage colors to facilitate hiding. Do not wear clothes that rustle or shoes that squeak, as they will easily reveal your location.
6. Know the field: If you get some time before the start of the game, utilize it to get a feel of the field. Look for refuge for yourself as well as anticipate places where your opponents might go.
7. Be proactive: Know your as well as other team members' role in your team's game plan. Execute your role and help your team mates when the need arises. Anticipate exigencies and be prepared for them.
8. Innovation: Don't use the same strategy in every game, however successful it might have been. Opponents can see the pattern and counter it successfully, even turn the tables on you, if you repeat it too often. So, keep your tactics changing in every game.
9. Learn from mistakes: Analyze your mistakes after every game, even if you won it, and try to avoid them next time. The best source of useful tips for you would be your own last game.
10. Upgrading the equipment: As far as possible, use upgradeable equipment and take the first possible opportunity to upgrade them. It will not only increase your efficiency but make you more confident of taking on your opponents.
You will need some time before you can become an expert paintball player. But remember only a patient practice overtime can take you to that goal, not necessarily costly equipment.
