I recently put a response trigger on my tippmann 98 custom but i am having problems with the balls breaking.?

Question

i have a tippmann 98 custom with a response trigger, double trigger, smart parts 16" junior freak barell, and an evolution 3 hopper with a Z-board. i bought the evolution 3 hopper that feeds (23bps) to keep up with the response trigger (that only shoots 17bps at max) but for some reason every now and then a ball will get half way into the chamber and it will get chopped in half, (turns into a blender) so im not sure why this is happening with a fast hopper. and also every now and then when im playing i will be in the middle of shooting and then my gun wont c**k back all the way so it wont shoot untill i manually c**k it back again. and i know the problem is not the weather.

It just so happens you chopped a ball, it has nothign to do with the hopper or trigger group. You need to either have a gun with "Eye's" (mostly mid to higher end guns) installed on it or, what I would do is simply add an anti-chop bolt to your current set-up which sounds nice by the way.
