Just ordered a new stock spring for my pro sport after finding a rather snappy titan in it. Everything is nice and clean in there and ready for the new spring. I've read that these guns can get a little twangy over time and need servicing on a regular basis. Just asking for a few tips on greasing, how much and where to apply to dampen twangyness.
Thanks.

Cv grease lightly coating the spring will dampen any vibration

If you're using a standard spring guide try both ends of the spring on it, leave it on the tightest fit. A merest hint of moly grease around the lip of the seal. Put some in the bearing channels and on the bearing faces.
Personally I use a fair bit on the rear of the spring, about a level teaspoonful. Polish the spring ends and the face of the tophat. Similar rules if you're using delrin guides.
When you're rebuilt the rifle put a few drops of 3 in 1 or similar on the surface of the comp tube that shows in the loading port, do that regularly and also add a drop to the safety button to stop it sticking.
Shoot it and enjoy it! If it starts twanging it usually means a relube which can be done without removing piston or comp tube in the future so only takes about 10 minutes.

Assuming all standard internals, for me two basic choices (but, like favourite recipes there are thousands of variations)

Old and trusted (my epitaph!)
Moly grease and a couple of drops of silicon oil in the compression tube (less is more), motorcycle chain lube on spring (very sticky & does not migrate), moly paste (e.g. Rocol) on outside of compression tube / inside action, it lasts for years.

New and fangled
Finish Line Teflon grease (or similar) all over as described above (again, less is more)

Have fun...
