Planet Eclipse HQ Blog

First up, let's talk spares - stay with us, it'll all make sense. We have a vast stock of Eclipse spares–old and new–that are compatible with every marker we ever did. So whether you need an o-ring for your EGO05, or a POPS bonnet for a CS2 we'll have something to help you out. Unfortunately our UK HQ warehouse is only so big, and with the increasing number of great products we design and build we're fast running out of space to store everything. We even use our pool table for storage... which hasn't gone down too well at all. 14 years of marker spares kinda takes up a LOT of space, so we made a change.

The paintball bug is something that unites us all in this game and it's awesome to see our teams taking the crown in their respective leagues, wherever in the world they may be and in whatever format. One of our latest victories was in the Iranian National Paintball League (INPL) by team DATIS, who took the win from one of their closest rivals in what was a pretty close game. The INPL follows a game format that they call I-Ball, which is derived from XBall.  Two 15 minute halves are played out, with 2 minute breathers between points and 5 minutes between halves. The game ends when one team has a clear 7 points spread over their opponents or the time runs out, meaning there can be some pretty high scoring matches. DATIS' finals game ended up 11-8. Paintball truly is a global sport and something shared by everyone, and we are always excited to see where our teams play and how they progress. Here's wishing Team DATIS another kick ass year in 2015.
