    I don’t know man a video of some hairy dudes love-tapping a thick acrylic block with tools and everybody thinks it’s a “paradigm shift?”

    We’ll see. I’ll be pretty surprised if this ever becomes the “industry standard” but I’ll enjoy watching this play out.

    Quoted from cooked71:

    Personally not a fan and it's no "paradigm shift", but from a manufacturing and consistency standpoint would make sense. Would save manufacturers a lot of headaches.

    That remains to be seen. Using something besides wood has been tried many times, usually with less than satisfactory results.

    Let’s see this thing hooked up to an actual pinball machine with actual components on both sides and hundreds of games a day on it before we declare it would save, and not cause, headaches.

    As it is, they are not smacking a pinball playfield with a sledgehammer, they are gingerly tapping a piece of plastic art with various tools. Entertaining demo but pretty silly to declare it has any real world relevance to pinball playfields at this point.

    Quoted from yancy:

    If Stern made this you'd already be on your third hand towel.

    You guys are very easily impressed is all I’m saying. Get real.

    Enjoy your acrylic block playfields. Gonna revolutionize pinball! Easy to tell from a quick YouTube demo.

    And who is taking about stern? Not me. You are obviously obsessed. As far as I can tell they have nothing to do with plastic playfields.

    It seems like just months ago Haggis was the talk of the town with their revolutionary bulletproof playfields and dramatized hammer love-tap demonstration videos.

    ANything new? I was hoping for some slingshot plastics and a microwave oven, or maybe a dunk tank revealing waterproof cabinets. Or maybe titanium boardsets being run over by an old Buick?
