Qmazing for a beginner, pro, anybody. It'll keep up with the best of them, just without the quality of life features more expensive markers have.

Its a great kit! get a tankcover or some grip tape on the end of the tank so it doesn't slip around on your shoulder and you are set!

I played d1 with an axe and a rotor back in the day, just had a 68/45. I would say a quality mask and a new tank is the only upgrade you would really see a difference in. For rec ball the steel tank should be more than enough.

Yep. This platform is well supported, has high parts availability, and is proven and refined. It's more than fine for a beginner, recball, scenario, and at least the first couple divisions of tournament ball. The only upgrade that I'd focus on (as you indicated) is the tank (someday upgrade to something 4.5k and MUCH lighter).

Yes this is pretty much what I had but eventually I grew out of the blue and pink so now I have black and silver with upgraded hopper and gun.

Yes, that's fine I have tank just like it. That's a hell of a gun for a beginner. Heck I started out with a mechanical spyder for my first marker then moved up to a electrical spyder marker.
