TOURNAMENT
Pinokio Speed
Though Pinokio did not have a booth at the
2013 PSP World Cup, company manager
Jennifer was spotting wandering the event
trade show with the final pre-production
prototype of the new Pinokio Speed hopper. Born out of the ashes of the F1 concept
from several years ago, the Pinokio Speed,
according to company representatives, was
created with the sole intention of creating
the lightest, smallest, fast tournament hopper the company was capable of making.
Well-balanced, in fact able to stand up on
its own feed neck even when filled with
94
paint, holding around 180 paintballs, able
to use existing Exalt feed gates, made from
durable nylon instead of polycarbonate to
eliminate feed neck breaks and able to be
cleaned instantaneously without tools thanks
to its quick release nose section, the Speed
weighs in at well under one pound with two
nine-volt batteries installed. No long “Pinokio” nose section will be offered with the
Speed as it is intended to be as light and
small as possible, for use by tournament
players, the Speed should see the light of
day in November 2013!
