The Quest for the Perfect Power Stance Begins

by Dana

The power stance. A position from which you are ready for anything, to spring into action, to mow faces, to dodge the paint as it flies your way.

There are many forms of this stance, though almost universally it requires bending at the knees while behind a stand-up bunker, and tucking your gun tight into your profile.

I have decided to embark on a quest for the perfect power stance.

In my research, I have come across many ways to harness the power of a perfect position. I hope to include many of these styles into my own power stance.

For example, with this stance, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to stop paintballs in midair.

Bullet stopping stance.

If I ever get into a fist fight in the midst of a particularly vicious paintball game, this stance will probably come in handy. However, I’m not sure how to really integrate it into my power stance…

Fists of fury stance.

Googling “Power Stance” made me realize that there is a power stance in music as well, involving a guitar and rock and roll. Ever the meticulous scholar, I tried it out.

Rock and roll power stance.

Taking these outside influences into account, I began to narrow my search to fields within the paintball sphere. I managed to find several things that will not be included in my perfect power stance, including…

The most awkward thing... ever.

Anyway, I plan on trying out more stances next time I play, and I shall update you on how my Quest for the Perfect Power Stance is going. Until then, may paintballs bounce off you and refs ignore the paint on your grill.
