I've had the Tadao board for a few weeks now, but haven't really had the chance to truly test it under more realistic situations, until the past weekend.
Last Friday was a team practice, where I brought opened paint dating as far back as July. I had a couple of breaks in the breach (no chops, otherwise I would probably see paint in my feedneck) due to my Reloader B forcing paint down the feedneck during dives, etc. These breaks were definitely not due to the gun, but the paint itself. I continued to play the remainder of the practice under these conditions, shooting through breaks. As practice ended, I noticed there was paint in my eye holes which shocked me. With the stock board, my eyes would have to be disabled as the paint would blocked enough of the break-beam signal to make it appear to the stock board that the eyes were not functioning properly. However, with the Tadao board, this was not the case. It could easily see through the paint, probably due to a more variable/sensitive algorithm for eye beam sensing. In other words, the Tadao seems to have better eye logic.
On Saturday, we had a local tournament where the paint was fresh and breaks did not exist. I still haven't gotten around to playing with most of the Tadao settings, so trigger filtering was left stock (Debounce at 10 and Mbounce at whatever). With these settings, I was firing fast streams as I would have with my stock board. I even had a third party verify my gun wasn't bouncing/ramping, as the head referee had pulled my gun to check. I passed with flying colors! Thanks ref! :smiley:
Considering my debounce is at 10, and microswitch triggers are typically set between 2-5 with other brands of guns, I wonder if lowering my debounce will push envelope, but still keep it legal. Only further testing will tell... Anyhow, for those of you who are considering purchasing the Tadao board, it definitely isn't any slower than your stock.
