    Quoted from Travish:

    Where? I guess they're under the posts and plastics? Look CLOSE. If it was hammered flat why is there no line between hammered and not hammered around posts. How do you explain CPR's then. No dimples on my CPR black knight or firepower either.
    On this take off firepower you can clearly see where the ball was able to roll and not roll. If it had a million 2mm dimples and it was smashed flat, there would be a 2mm difference between where the ball could roll and where it couldn't. In person you can tell its completely the same. No height difference at all.
    This is just one subject that if a playfield has craters it's "normal" and just hasn't had enough plays. If yours looks great, it's had enough plays to "even out" no matter the number of games played. [quoted image]

    BK and Firepower are non airball games. of course you will not get dimples if the ball never gets dropped on the playfield. EM's don't get dimples either. Any game where the glass is so close to the playfield, you don't have enough space to get an airball with any force. Dimples only happen on every game that can have airballs.

    Just for the record. the amount of airballs a game has, greatly impacts how many and how fast a playfield dimples. Games like Hobbit, don't dimple because you hardly have any airballs. but games like TWD and GB will dimple like living shit, because they are airball goldmines. None of my early SS and EM's don't have any dimples in them (the ones that are clearcoated). Why? because no airballs.

    Quoted from pinballwil:

    My bsd has alot of airballs and no dimples.
    Explain that.
    Stern SW 10.000 dimples (mooncreaters)after 1 day play at the dpo expo 2017.
    Chunks of clear fly's of 5 times faster then in the 90.
    Its no collection quality anymore.
    We have to live with it i think and put a plastic sheat on it to keep all the clear on it.

    i've had to restore at least 15-20 BSD fields over the years for people, and every one of them were littered with dimples. But pounded to shit to the point where it was almost flat again, But you can still see a slight wave in the clear if you look at it right.

    Quoted from jellikit:

    This one literally had craters and look how smooth it is now. It could use a wipe-down, but it almost looks like a layer of plexi now.[quoted image]

    and you know what. That playfield gets NO dimples.

    Quoted from ctviss:

    At the risk of starting up this debate again... I waxed my BK2K last night and had some additional lights on. With the upper playfield up, I noticed... dimples! I couldn't really feel them with my finger, so I agree with vid - the playfield gets hammered "flat" over time, even through mylar.
    [quoted image][quoted image]

    and that's on an upper playfield that hardly gets any airballs. If that was an airball area, that would really be pounded to shit.
