    They can be demagnetised with heat, a degaussing coil, or a few hard hits with a hammer.

    Easiest to just replace them. If you have a heat gun around it might be worth a shot. I removed a hard drive magnet from its mount using a heat gun once and was very disappointed that a lot of the magnet strength was gone.

    Obviously hitting them with a hammer will cause other problems. Would make a good experiment for an enterprising YouTuber.

    Quoted from guitarded:

    I have a lot of issues with balls tht are eccentric. Have to order 25 to get maybe 2-3 sets of 3 balls that are true.

    How are you testing them? It’s bizarre that you’ve had multiple issues. Generally a defect like that would get caught at the factory.

    Quoted from guitarded:

    but a ton of the balls I buy just are not good. Some are like eggs

    Post a video of the next egg shaped pinball you get.

    Are you thinking 10%, or even higher?
