Candy Apple Shooter Rods by Modfather now available....

These beautiful handmade shooter rods are created using a combination of paints of various colors, carefully blending them on to a solid wooden handle, then dipped in clear coat over 20 times to give it a thick lacquer coat with great durability and deep mirror finish. The shooter handles are 1 1/2 inch diameter, ( ping pong ball size ) , and has a great feel when launching the ball. These shooters are not game specific and will look spectacular on any machine. Universal fit for Bally/ Williams and newer Stern machines. Compared to other custom shooters (50-70 dollars plus shipping), these are only 42 dollars each, mediums available for 48 ( 2 inch dia.) including shipping nationwide. I would like everyone to have at least one of these in their collection. Please specify corresponding number to the shooter when ordering. My Paypal is [email protected]

Theses are fantastic looking, I thought they were blown glass. They also remind me of antique marbles. Nice price. The standard shooter rods are just so plain. Ordering now! Please put number 5 and 19 aside for me.

You know, of the 8 machines in my house, only 3 have shooter rods... and the one that I'd want one of these for is a Gottlieb which isn't listed as compatible. Do you have any idea if one of these would fit on a Stargate?

finally shooter rods that are practical and look nice. Those face ones are ok looking, but not at all practical to use. these are like the TOM and CV style.

Any plans to make the rounded flat style in this form? I'd be up for some then. Not a fan of the round style as you can't have these slide off your thumb when your making still shots. that's the beauty of a normal style plunger.

I have multiple quantities on all the colors. So no worries if anyone has already ordered a specific one. I posted each one with an assigned # strictly for ordering reference.

I'm using standard 3/8 rods that are listed as universal, should fit Gottlieb as well...

metallica fans your shooter rod has been made. I used neon green, fire orange , and deep purple with black ....clear coated multiple times for that mirror finish , we all love and deserve on our beloved pins...these do look pretty cool , as I just picked up a new MET myself and lovin the game. After looking closely at my own game ..the key colors are green , orange and purple. I love the color scheme and it blends perfectly with the game. With the traditional style of the shooter rod , it will feel "right" and not like some toy glued to a rod. Shown is the small and the medium at a 2 inch diameter. Welcome back some tradition to pinball, the round shooter....good stuff my friend

Yes! I can make solid colors or any color combination at no extra charge for custom orders. I have over 100 different colors of paint and 6 different colors of glitter. I can make custom orders if needed. Considering the wide variety of colors and styles, I thought I had it all covered. So whatever you pinball guys want , I will make it happen and happy to oblige any specific requests. I can also run the swirl pattern horizontally or vertical as well. I will be introducing two new larger sizes: 1 3/4" and a 2" round diameter (about the size of a tangerine) as well. The larger sizes are for you pinball adventurists that live on the edge.

The shooter rods I am providing come complete with the painted handle epoxied to a new shooter rod , I also include a new rubber shooter tip and a new e-clamp. When installing your new rod, cut off your old tip with a razor blade, pull back the large spring inside the machine, then grap a pair of pliers and pull your old e-clip off. This will release the large spring, washers , etc. Put your new shooter in, large spring , washers etc the same way. You will be reusing your springs and washers. If you break your e-clamp when removing it , I supplied a new one just in case. I also supply a new rubber tip as you had to cut off the old one. Installation should take 5-10 minutes, pretty easy stuff.
