Paintball Training Part VIII

Posting Up & Wrapping

Posting up gives you the ability to control your opponents position. Posting usually starts off with some form of snapping gun battle, where you gain the edge and are out and in control of your opponent. You can either continue to blast away at your opponent, containing him, or you can wait and try to bait him out, and blast him in the face (a technique I personally enjoy using).

Continually being able to control your opponent by posting will give you another key oppurtunity known as wrapping. By posting up on one opponent, you create an opening from which you can wrap. Wrapping will often allow you to create new angles on your opponents positions across the field. Wrapping is typically done on the tape line positions, where you only need to worry about one opponent to control while you look to wrap. This will also be effective in allowing you or another teamate in moving up safely.


Pointer:

Posting requires a degree of accuracy and patience. You are essentially tricking your opponent into thinking you are looking elsewhere. When your opponent realizes you have stopped shooting at him, he will eventually expose himself to attempt to take back the advantage and posting back up on you. So be patient and wait for the shot to present itself.
