    I put some superbands on my RFM about a week and a half ago. Between that a flipper rebuild, the pin was playing great. However, this morning I noticed a large chunk of the band missing at the edge of the flipper. So I took the band off, try to install it so the missing chuck was on the bottom of the flipper, and the band snapped.

    How long do your superbands last? Are superbands worth it? Granted we are only taking about $1.50 price difference but I don't want to have to change my bands every few weeks.

    Quoted from Chrizg:

    I have them chunk on my route games at the tip of the flippers all the time. Had a green one snap with about 1k plays on the game. Annoying but I am still buying them for some reason. At $2 a piece they should not be doing this crap

    That is exactly what mine looks like; even the same color. I wonder if green is more prone to fail.
