Play it. All PFs dimple. These threads are as old as this forum. Literally. No one yet has punched through a PF. They all level out and pound to a new flat surface.

Quoted from zpinman370:I hear what you guys are saying and will limit the amount I play it for the next month as hard as that is because it is a fantastic game. What really concerns me is how my balls got so damaged in such short amount of plays? (no pun intended before you all go there lol) The dimples are one thing but having scored up balls especially when they are not just the run of the mill but the good chrome balls is concerning.
Those PFs are getting cleared and sitting. We are talking about a lot of PFs here. By the time any particular cabinet gets ready for a PF to be populated and stabbed, that ink and clear have been on there for weeks at a minimum. Then the machinr sits and waits for packing, then sits and waits for pickup and then sits and waits for transport, then sits and waits for delivery. Just the pick up and transport time gives it 15-20 days minimum to cure. They aren’t running the screens and clear and sloping them on the machine still wet. All that said, it’s good to go.
I’ve had PFs cleared and gotten them back before full cure, and there is no question when it’s not ready. You’d smell the chemical evaporate.
Make sure you don’t have any posts that have metal exposed. A rubber can spilt or slip and let the ball hit something it shouldn’t, and you will see them get torn up fast that way.
Dimpling isn’t wear. PFs dimple. All of them. A lot. Some PFs are of color or lighting that makes it more noticeable than others. It will even out to a new level in time.
Tale as old as time.
It prevents dimpling, yet affects play so much that it’s intolerable? I’m not seeing the point. It’s kinda like buying a high end car but being obsessed that the tire beads are going to wear off if you drive it. But to each his own.
Quoted from Zablon:That ball damage is what has me concerned...I'm assuming thats from the burrs mentioned, and the scoop hole protector that gets the crap beat out of it?
This all day. Dimpling is a necessary evil of steel on wood. But it will and does even out and become much less noticeable with time and plays. But a scratched and rough ball is just round sandpaper on that PF.
Quoted from Goronic:Yes, plus it begins to cloud over time. Dulls the PF lighting and the PF art. Once I removed it the machine would shine brightly and showed off the art. I just wax it and let it dimple (like most).
Sounds like you are a big fan of PF protectors - have you used them before and/or recommend them?
Nope, never used them. I pull up the old voided Mylar on old games and replace with new on ball drop and lockout areas.
