I have heard of the nineball bucking referred to as both hard and soft. I currently have it but have never actually felt the difference between hard and soft buckings. Does anyone know for sure what kind the nineball is?

Nine ball bucking uses a harder rubber which helps with air seal at the nozzle.

Alright, thanks.

Perfect for an ER-hop.

 

[Masterjuggler98]

Is there any place explaining exactly what an r-hop and er-hop is and how to use it? I have heard many good things about them but have never actually learned how and why to use them.

 

[Cheese Man]

Here is the most comprehensive thread I've seen on the R-hop.

Thanks cheese. It seems like it would be awfully hard to adjust for different weight bbs. Would I still need to do the TDC mod if I decide to with the r-hop route?

 

[Cheese Man]

It isn't necessary, but it is recommended.

 

[Masterjuggler98]

Out of curiosity do you use r-hop?

 

[Cheese Man]

I am currently switching from the r-hop to the ER-hop in all my rifles that use a hop system.

 

[Masterjuggler98]

In one of your posts you said you shoot low fps and use .3g bbs. Why would you need er-hop?

 

[Cheese Man]

To extend the range of a rifle shooting at a low fps. It works at any fps and with most any bb, so I use the fps that gives me the most stable flight path, which happens to be a fairly low one.

I have a 455mm barrel with IER hop up and I don't know where to install it!
I now need a longer barrel!

Anyway, I wanted to ask how can an LRB be paired with a ER-hop? Both are designed to give longer distance, does this means you have even longer flight path with the combination of these 2?

I generally try to get more fps because if i am trying to shoot at something moving, or something that might move at any second, I like to have less of a margin of error and make my bb get there sooner. I'm also probably going to get r-hop or ir-hop now that I know what it is. Might just get the z-package for ir-hop.

 

[Cheese Man]

@wolf: Yes, they work in tandem and are complimentary.

@juggler: Good plan, they really do work.

I'm probably going to go to homedepot later to get the supplies for the tdc mod. First on my list after that is bioshot .3s, then ir-hop. Ir-hop because here in NJ we get very varying weather. I figure if I am going to use ir-hop I don't need to change the nub on the arm. I'm also going to use the stock bucking with the mound taken off to use with the ir-hop so I don't have to destroy my one and only nineball.

 

[Cheese Man]

You will still need to use a new nub. It needs to be a soft nub too, I usually use superglue and use the foam that is on nerf darts.

 

[Masterjuggler98]

I've got tons of nerf darts from years ago I can cut up. How large do you make the new nubs?

Make sure to get machine screw with a knob type of head so that your thumb turn it while in game.

You read my mind. I actually got a knob screw for it earlier today. I just need to drill and tap it and I'm golden.
