I have been working with 2 aussies to now make available the Bally - Ball Outhole Kicker Arms in a original version as well as a stronger version with larger radiis, braces and extra fill with the goal to last a long time. Below is a 3D printed version proving fit and function. The shapeways version is nylon and 100% filled and choice of a few colours.

now available at Shapeways

No a couple of friends have them with no issues as well as about 30 sold via shapeways and no reports back and Marco Specialities have bought a few of the regulars with new no issues reported

Quoted from dothedoo:

Another one to add... Gold Ball. Ordered one today.

thanks for the update and thanks for the support

Quoted from bonzo442:

My Fathom had an original but the original when it launched a ball (with 2 other balls sitting in the trough) would knock them backwards out of the trough far enough to start the missing ball warning sound. I tried everything to prevent this issue with mixed results until I installed the reinforced blue kicker arm and problem solved!!

great to hear

there has been a real run on these of late, somehow people have discovered them and glad it is keeping games going.

that was the goal, as the few broken ones that were sent to me they all broke in the similar area - hence the filling in and bracing added
