    I see these at PDI, but I need 4 or 5 sets (mainly in silver) but at $15 / flipper, that's up to $150 for 10 flippers. Insane.

    Pinball Life sells the silver ones, but they don't have a very smooth finish, and the last set I bought, the silver rubbed off the tip just putting the flipper rubber on.

    Is there any other source for these?

    Most chromed plastics are not very durable in my experience.

    These aluminum ones could probably be polished up to a nice shine:

    Exactly what I did. They shine like mirrors.

    totally agree the bats have been good but buttons wear fast

    but was unaware of the aluminium bats and that is a reasonable price for what they are made, thanks for the update on those - I wonder if the slight weight increase will slow up the flipper action a little...
