Quoted from Durzel:In my experience waxing also makes the game considerably faster.
I put two coats of carnauba wax on my TZ and it changed it dramatically. Suddenly the ball traveled what seemed to be at least 25% faster. Some shots and post rebounds are like bullets. I can't get close to my previous high scores (which weren't great to begin with to be honest)
Worth doing for the protection and longevity aspect, but it does also change the dynamics from what you might be used to.
Agree 100%. I have a freshly waxed BSD and it is nuts. I had to shallow it out just a hair to get it back to where I felt it was playing before.
I don't wax as much as some, but I change balls often and really keep my playfield clean, including frequent mini-swiffer use. I have yet to notice any ill effects. YMMV of course.
