Hi I was wondering how would it be hard to be a front or mid if your 5'9???

Please help me out here 0?

**The_Duke** · September 27th, 07:25 PM

5'9 isnt too tall. im around 5 feet so everybody looks tall to me. but 5'9 is average height for guys so you should be fine.

**Cocker16** · September 27th, 07:30 PM

nah i play mid sometimes front and im 5'8 not much of a diff when your army pressed on the ground though being shorter couldnt hurt.
this is like one of the only sports where its better to be short in osme instances.

I don't think most people would consider 5'9 tall unless you're 12 years old, but I still don't see it as a limiting factor in determing which position you should play. You play for fun, so whatever position is fun is the one you should play. If you are tall you'll just need to adapt your playing style to be more effective.

Edit: I'm 5'11 and I play front.

yeah, there is no reason being tall is different, you only have to stay a little lower. I am shorter, shortest on my team, i like to play mid, like is key. but the tallest guy is better for back, that just the way i like to play. But it doesn't matter at all cause if you are good you can shoot everyone.

it doestn matter 5'9'' isnt that tall u can play front mid easy i know a 6'1'' guy who is a good 220 lbs who plays front lol... it all depends on how fast u are and how good u are at playing paintball lol..

**PaiNtBaLLeR_200** · September 27th, 08:59 PM

p8NtB/-\113r · September 27th, 09:24 PM

my teamate is 6' 4" and is a mid player

***onesikpup*** · September 27th, 09:32 PM

im almost 6', and ive never played back. i think i do allright as front, most of the time i get out is off the break....im too slow to get to the 50 right off, so i have to settle for the 30 at first most of the time, we play on a rather large field.

**Darkpaintball** · September 27th, 10:03 PM

im 6' 2'' and ive played in all positions. I really dont think size matters, if you can play tight and make quick moves you can play anywhere. its all about what u feel most comfortable doing

**Warpstoner** · September 27th, 10:06 PM

I'm 5'11" and i play front and mid.

As long as you can play tight it dosen't matter how big you are.

***NYY*** · September 27th, 10:09 PM

yea im 5'10" and i play front fine

**terrible1fi** · September 27th, 10:16 PM

im 6 feet tall and i do ok, you just have to work a little harder to make your profile smaller, but thats it

labelskate102 · September 27th, 10:19 PM

**100%Wooddog** · September 27th, 10:28 PM

**lastonestanding** · September 28th, 02:14 AM

i love back, and im 5'11". i can also make the 50 off the break, as long as its not a god damn wing nut or a lay down cone i hate lay down cones, i can play then but not that well, i always get a hopper hit.
