    Hi All,

    My son and I have been working with Bryan Kelly to recreate his Pin Foots at the same level of craftsmanship and consistency that Bryan's product is known for. I'm happy to say that we are officially ready to start taking orders.

    We wanted to play by the rules, so we created this account and a Pinside Biz to sell our PinCoasters and a few other pinball-related novelties that will be revealed soon.

    The PinCoasters without felt are officially ready to go and are priced at $25 per set. They will ship in a USPS flat rate box.
    The PinCoasters with felt will be ready soon and will be priced at $28 per set. They also will ship in a USPS flat rate box.

    More photos will be posted soon, we are just waiting for our "lightbox" to arrive.

    Is the felt in the bottom?

    #4 3 years ago

    Yes, we have options for a felt bottom, a cork bottom, or a regular bottom.

    Perfect timing! I was just thinking about getting another set of these.

    I have these on all my games. Great quality and they look awesome. Glad someone is carrying the torch!

    Hi All,

    Fresh sets of PinCoasters headed out the door!

    The felt bottom and cork bottom options are also now available in our Pinside shop.

    We hope to have another exciting product available in the next week or so.

    What bottom material do you recommend for different floor types? Carpet? Tile? Wood? Vinyl Laminate?

    I have vinyl laminate flooring and these seem like a great option, but not sure what material to get for the bottom. I don't want these to act like magic sliders These look nice!

    Sorry for the delay and thanks for the kind words! We have had a few other people with laminate floors buy the sets with the cork backing. I'll send over some emails and find out how that backing is working out for them.

    For carpet, most people buy the regular/plain sets.
    For hardwood, most buy the felt backing or the cork backing.
    For laminate, at least as far as we know, the cork backing has been the favorite.

    Hope this information helps!

    How about concrete? My pins are half on the oriental rug, the other is on the concrete. Ran out of space! Nudging on the concrete sucks.
    I’m thinking maybe the ones without backing would slide really well across the slab floor?

    #12 3 years ago

    I'm thinking that no backing would work best for the concrete floor and we could put some extra clear on the bottoms for you. The variable might be how smooth that concrete floor is. If you nudge like I do, I think the extra clear could help!
