Always hated these protectors. Gameplay becomes slower and the ball makes some weird trajectories some times.
Quoted from Aniraf:I believe this is completely untrue and the result of a “placebo effect”.
I believe that if you say so when it comes to the speed of the ball.
But with the pf protector, the ball sometimes makes an effect that never happens on a clear coat pf: It makes some harsh slowdowns on some moves. For example, the ball comes at high speed and out of nowhere it slows down way faster than it should to the point that almost stops.
I have never seen this effect on a non protector pf and see it many times on the T2 I play.
But if overall the ball has the same speed as you say, then this tiny "incident" is irrelevant in my opinion, which makes the pf a great buy. Any way we can see those videos?
I would love to change my mind about this. All the spanish machines made in the 90s had some kind of pf protector on top, and all of them have a perfect pf today lol
Quoted from Aniraf:I’m not sure I have them anymore. Maybe I can make some new ones. I haven’t done a perfect scientific experiment, so I am certain there are holes in my assessment.
I was simply trying to counter the “these are bad” arguments because some people simply refuse to accept new things.
Don't need to make new videos. You word is enough for me.
You did changed my mind so I will be looking at these in a totally different way. For example, I always ran away from machines for sale that had the protector . From now on I won't
