I wasn't sure where to post my experiences using Glo balls in my AFMR and MBR LEs so I am starting this topic. I bought 3 sets @ the 2019 TPF; One each of the orange, blue, and green colors. I had to remove all of them from my CGC games because they wouldn't travel the rails correctly and flew off repeatedly. Also, the Swamp Creature VUK on the MBR would not recognize and eject the ball and frequently did not recognize a ball in the shooter trough. When I put the original balls back into the games they worked perfectly. I am guessing that the Glo Balls are just to light to work with CGC games. I did put the blue color set in my JJP POTC and so far, they seem to be working ok. But, they really looked good in the CGC games. Too bad but they just don't work there. Sad to admit that I made a $150 bad purchase . Anyone else have a similar experience and did you find a solution for the problem?
