    Seems like there is lots of opportunity to put personal spin on shooter rods. I'm sure plenty of you have. Now yesterday I changed out my standard RBION with a silver/swirl ball shooter rod from pinball life and think it looks pretty good. I also bought a blank rod and plan on making a custom one for myself for Tron or RBION, just need to come up with a good idea.

    I have seen a few for sale and some look good, but seems like there should be more out there.

    Just curious if anyone has a pin where they made there own or swapped a different one in and would like to show it off. Thanks SAM_0013.JPGSAM_0013.JPG SAM_0015.JPGSAM_0015.JPG

    I've seen a great looking boulder one for WH20, perfect fit in the theme of the game. Would love to get my hands on one for mine.

    I wanted to post pics since I'm asking others to do so. Not the best pics, but have to head off to work so don't have time to stage and perfect my photos.

    I can't take a picture now, and I've since swapped it for a more conventional one,

    But I bought a Radical! from forumite PEN, and it came with a custom-made skateboard shooter rod that I believe he said he made himself. It's pretty cool, but it just never felt right to me.

    Hey PEN, if you want it back for any reason. It's just sitting in the cash box.

    Yep, has to feel good in the hand for sure. I'm not going to be putting a lightcycle on my shooter rod for tron. Might look okay, but wouldn't feel right. (Not even sure it would look good lol)

    I have made a few, 8 and 9 balls and the swirls for CV.
