I was thinking a simple, cool little mod would be to throw a powerball in the mix.. it'd be like a white "Kevin Flynn" ball. I know it doesn't change scoring or anything, more for a visual effect. That said, I've never actually played a powerball before. Are they much different? I hear they're faster.
Anyway just a thought.

Try it out, its your game. I like the black pearl balls, and the other specialty balls for specific games. I think the SM ones with the webbing on them are a nice touch for that table.
Black pearls are pretty sweet... tough to see on dark playfields though. It's a shame no one's come out with coloured balls, seems like a fairly tasteful mod (although I'm not sure how easy it would be).
I guess my only concern is the speed of the power ball, I don't want to smash the crap out of my playfield. Maybe I'll wait 'till Cliffy's ramp protectors are out

Does software recognize the power ball in Avatar? Or is it no different than adding one to a pro?
In the LE, yes.. double scoring I think?
There's a Tron with 3 powerballs at a place called brixie's in brookfield illinois (near chicago). I must say it's insanely fast, and whoever the operator is, is probably making a mint off it ($1/game):

That sounds crazy. I was worried about standing or drop targets. Ramp entrances and trough and kickout sensors if IR. I think the speed it would add would make tron crazy fast.
Your pin do what you want to it if it creates a problem remove it fix the problem and continue
just my opinion =-)
Good luck and update us on any issues, likes or dislikes.

I've had a powerball in mine since day 2 of ownership installed last July. No airball problems, broken parts, etc. The game plays just like normal except for that ball being about 20% faster than the others. My son Kyle calls it the "Kevin Flynn" ball as well. Fits the theme well.
