I use to pball back in the day. Much like the cold war, my enemies (friends) would escalate their weapons and I had to do the same. I dropped over $1200 on a new setup towards the end. Used it maybe 6 times and then ebayed it for 60% of what I paid for it. Indian Creek Bushmaster B2K, some fancy drop forward, riser extender, the evolution hopper, I think a 12" boomstick, custom grips.
If I was to do tournaments, I was on the right track, but college came and there was no time. It's still great fun, but I wish I would have spent my money elsewhere.
