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

OP
Quoted from modfather:
Sure I could do a gold leaf shooter, just pay the difference of what it would cost me for materials. Its not much , about 10 bucks I think. I would go with a small or medium . I can do a gold painted handles mixed in with ultra fine gold glitter paint in a horizontal or vertical pattern, would look great. Its the hand painted application that makes these shooters stand out and give them originality. No shooters are exactly the same, unlike glueing some type of a toy to the end of a shooter rod. These are individually handmade for each person and their corresponding game of choice.

That's not bad, it would be worth an extra $10. PM me the total cost for a small, gold leaf one and where to send the payment. I think it would look way cool with all that clear on it.

Has anybody else had a problem with the shaft of the shooter rod being slightly bigger than their stock Stern one? I received mine today and it will barely fit in the shooter housing and binds up something terrible.

I am using standard "universal " shooter rods from pinball life that supposedly fits all pinball machines. If yours doesn't fit right, you can mail it back ..and give me your shooter off your machine and I will bang off the old handle and make you a new one and mount it to your shooter rod to guarantee it will fit. Sometimes there are instances that don't quite work out. I will try and do my best to accommodate everyone.

I am going to work on it today and see if I can make it work. I did email you about another issue though. Love the look of it for sure!

I have three of modfather's shooter rods. I did have a slight problem with one but that was because I had adjusted the original shooter rod (the metal plate) because the tip was hitting the ball a little high. It worked fine after I put it back.

Yes, I'm essentially making custom shooters for all the orders that are coming in. There is a lot of popularity among these shooters because of the style, color, design and price.

Hey Mustang Paul, here are some photos of the gold leaf shooters in production. I bought a gold leafing kit and did some extras in case I messed it up. I think they all came out great. I used the 1 1/2 inch (small) diameter shooters for these gold ones. In the picture are custom WOZ shooters shown in medium and large during the making process. These handles are now in the dipping in clear coat stage of finishing. This is the stage that actually takes the longest. Dip, Dip Dip, and away we go !! If anyone is interested in the gold leaf shooters, they are 45 bucks each shipped with the rod, new shooter tip and E-clip. I hope you guys like them...

I have four of Modfather's shooter rods. All three sizes. They look great and easy to put on. One other factor I don't believe has been mentioned is that they are very comfortable in the hand (during the shooting process). I have never tried one but some of these character heads that some modmakers are selling don't look very hand friendly with all the sharp edges and everything (not to mention their price).

Thx, I am glad you like them. I actually made a few of them in case anyone else wants one. These will also look great on TOM, LOTR or any game with gold trim that has a shooter for it. Since I bought the material to make these, they are only 35 each. A nice custom shooter for a great price. Shipping is included at this price as well. (nationwide)
