Lately all the white rubbers I've been using are crap, put in some WICO 3' rings in & come back in 20 mins or so to see they have completely split, In a different game i used some PL 2' rings metal post to metal post up close to the timber side rail support, ball comes off the pop bumper onto the 2' ring & ball slams in the timber & sounds terrible, did some research to find out Marco has hes own rubbers made branded PRW, Any comments on PRW V's the other rubbers available.

I use only PBR rubbers, learning this the hard and expensive way, but whatever, worth it in the end.

I've been using PBL rings for a while now. Other than the extremely small post rubber that go over the tapered metal post (they sometimes split when installing)..I've never had to replace one.

I think I have some of Terry's rubbers that are 10+ years old and used 1000s of times (games)

Try Titan's new silicone Competition Rubber. Its awesome. Various colors, and even the black plays like the fresh white rubber that ABC used to make. Highly recommended!

I get all of my rubber here ebay.com link: ebay.com
I have bought from Marco, Pinball Life, and Bay Area and PCX is the softest and longest lasting.

Titan rubbers all day and twice on Sunday. I have played probably over 150 games on my machines after putting titan competition rubbers in and you cannot tell they have been used. If I was using regular rubbers, they would be dirty already.

They do not play like Super Bands AT ALL which is why I love them. Buy some for your slings and flippers and you wont be disappointed. After I used them for slings and flippers, I switched my entire games over.

This! I could not get them to work. Ordered Marcos and finished the job. I hope they fix that.

I have had a few from pbr stretch out within a couple months of home use. I also noticed difference in color on certain sizes. I am going to try titans next for sure.

I like Marcos white rubbers better than most. PBRs work good too. I have found most of the rest not so good.

Regardless of the brand, the most important thing is that you are using them.
