Quoted from phergott:
So after considerable whining to Terry and Mark at Marco
by Tim Arnold and myself, Marco has come up with a NEW formula for white
rubber. We've been testing it for Marco, and I have to say, it's a HUGE
improvement over the stuff everyone else is selling.

So is the new Marco rubber better than ABC rubber of old? Frankly, no. I
would say the new Marco rubber is a lot like the HAPP and WICO rubber of
10 years ago. Not amazing, not perfect, but miles ahead of the stuff
everyone else is selling today. I've found it far more durable on my
games.

I've been very happy with Marco's rubbers lately. Thank you very much!

Quoted from Otaku:
n his post he said you had to specifically ask for the new stuff. Is this now the "default"?

Must be. I don't order kits. Just the sizes I need or am getting low on. Consistently top quality.

Quoted from EMsInKC:
I find it interesting that supposedly the "new" rubber will not stand up to heavy play. I've got the new stuff on all my games,

It depends where you get your new rubber from. I've got some coming from PBR and I will compare them to Marcos and see if they are both the same now. Ones I got from PBR before were good. The ones that say PL on them I've thrown away.

I wouldn't be surprised if PBR and Marco are using the same ones now. I only found out about the high qulity Marco has now as they are one of the best sources for some of the newer games I've gone thru, and got some when I ordered from them. Then I bought a bunch. The ones I got from PBR a few years ago were very good too but had some color variations and some seemed old stock. But they worked.

Quoted from 0geist0:
I'm pretty sure that PBR gets their rubbers from Happ

The rubbers I got from PBR with my recent order are marked Wico. I have now compared them and although they are still the best source for almost everything else, I'm going with Marco's PRW brand.
