Quoted from Titan_Pinball:I sent an inquiry to my manufacturer to see if this is even an option. I would not be surprised if they were a good bit more expensive (if possible).
People will pay for quality and if they look good.

Got the rest of my flipper rubber in and some matching slings....here's a couple quick cell phone pics:

Just want to reiterate that these really play like traditional rubber. If they even last half as long as SuperBands they are worth it (IMHO).
Quoted from Titan_Pinball:I might be able to bring in some sample colors in very limited quantities. If I could get some pink, which pink would you want?

the one on the right.
if you do make them limited, hope you gonna send a pm.
i will add those with others to my order thats for sure.
Quoted from beatmaster:if you do make them limited, hope you gonna send a pm.
No worries. I probably won't get enough to put on the website. I'll just offer them here.
All of this is reliant on my manufacturer agreeing to a small sample run. They might say "no".
GitD shouldn't be too hard or pricey, they use this same type of material with gitd for fishing as well as in the toy industry
Quoted from Crash:I agree with dark pink as well.
Me too. I think it would look good on a TSPP
Just ordered a bunch more for an upcoming White Water project, which I did for a reason because long-lasting rings on one of the most difficult games to shop is extremely appealing. With any luck we should never have a use for traditional rubbers again!
Hot pink would be great on

I had white flipper rubbers on my JM because I thought it looked purty. It made it the hardest game I've ever played. No catching, passing, and dead bounces were all over.
I installed the white titan silicone flipper rubbers (and some clear slings) about a week ago, and it plays like a dream. Feels like red rubbers, looks amazing.
11056901_10155314039405344_1279060548_n.jpgHi Titan .
Great looking product . Definitely going to buy some .
Quick question regarding particularly the 7/16" OD mini post rings ...
A lot of my games are newer Sterns and the 7/16" OD rings that are commonly found throughout them have a slightly larger hole in the centre than traditional 7/16" OD rings .
Do yours have the larger hole ? or the traditional sized smaller hole ? Also if you don't stock the larger holed ones , any chance you could make them in the future .
Here's a pic for reference . The black ring is from a newer Stern ( 7/16" OD with slightly larger hole in the centre ) and the white ring is a traditional sized one with the smaller centre .
It looks like a small run of Hot Pink is inevitable.
If someone would add a kit(s) to the ring database : https://www.titanpinball.com/kits/ it would really help determine how many I should bring in.
I can't wait to see these installed!
Well, I would be curious as to how those minipost rings hold up on Stern Star Trek. The factory ones on that game get shredded almost immediately. I replaced mine with the super band minipost rings, and those have really lasted. But they are extremely bouncy and difficult to put on.
Will you please offer a BULK ring option.
Something like this?

I like the pinballcenter one better but something similar to either option would be nice. Please dont waste money on fancy packaging. Heck a gallon ziploc would be fine IMO.
I will place an order when this is available. thanks
Finally someone posts some real pictures of these things. Looks nice!! That yellow really pops. Yellows from the other companies just looked nasty imo, but these look bright and clean. Orange would have looked nice on CC as well. Great job Neverahighscore. Titan if all the bounce tests and reports are true than you have a real winner here. Once you produce the mini flipper rubber I am going to buy a bunch of this stuff. Now anyone care to give any Ideas of what would look great on TZ?
Making an order now for my EBD and Big Game. Also posting kits on the website. I'll post pics when finished installing.
Quoted from Whysnow:Will you please offer a BULK ring option.
It's here : https://www.titanpinball.com/products_detail.php?ProductID=834
Quoted from winteriscoming:JP ended up with 586 total plays over the weekend at the Louisville Arcade Expo. The Titan Competion Silicone Rings are still in-tact. I just got the game set back up at home and don't have the energy for a close inspection at this time, but will post back with pics when I get back to it.
Any pics so far?
Any chance in the future you might be able to produce a 5'' ring? Almost ready to start a PF swap on my High Speed and this pin requires 2 at the top of the playfield under the ramp. Be nice not to ever have to replace those 2 again. Thanks, just ordered a bulk variety pack!
Awesome and thanks!
I ordered a kit to try them out. As a heads up the promo code, TITAN10, was not working for me.
I tried multiple times with no luck of it registering.
I used the promo code successfully yesterday. Are you entering the code and clicking "update cart?" It should show a discount value at the bottom.

I couldn't get the promo code to work either. I just ordered the bulk variety pack and TITAN10 did not take to my cart.
Quoted from Crash:I used the promo code successfully yesterday. Are you entering the code and clicking "update cart?" It should show a discount value at the bottom.
Yup. I tried the update cart. I exited completely out and redid the order. i could not get it to work at all.
Quoted from Whysnow:I ordered a kit to try them out. As a heads up the promo code, TITAN10, was not working for me.
The TITAN10 code works for individual rings and any sample pack. It doesn't apply to the bulk kit due to the 30% already discounted.
However, I should have made that clear from the beginning, so I will be retro discounting any bulk kits purchased over the last day or so.
Quoted from nvu4prod:Any chance in the future you might be able to produce a 5'' ring?
If these continue to do well, I'd like to carry them all. The larger rings tend to get exponentially expensive due to the small amount you can have per mold.

WOW, great service!
thanks!
I want to do my AC/DC Premium in Titan rubber but not sure which color to go with. Has anyone done their game yet? Thinking blue or red or combo of both. Any pics out there???
Quoted from neverahighscore:I want to do my AC/DC Premium in Titan rubber but not sure which color to go with.
Ooooh, go all red!
Wow great product and as a business owner love the customer feedback and interactions. Will definitely be ordering a couple of bulk sets!
While 5" won't sell as many as the others and will cost more, it would be great to have the option to re'rubber' a Genie, for example, with all competition Silicone.
Oh, and I would love to see these in 3/8" flipper rubber for Gottlieb. I have a Stargate that I would like to re-rubbber in these as well.
Quoted from Hougie:Oh, and I would love to see these in 3/8" flipper rubber for Gottlieb.
Is that the one with the bead in the center?
Quoted from Titan_Pinball:Is that the one with the bead in the center?
No, it's just 0.375" wide band instead of 0.5". It's still 1-1/2" I.D. I'd love to see these available, too!
Quoted from Crash:Pink, really?
Pink would be fun, I would put it on my Future Spa in a heartbeat.
Quoted from Crash:Ok, we have 2 Addams Family's on location. And as you know they get played by the public more than any other game. So I swapped the left slingshot with a Competition ring and the right one with new rubber. The first game is at our main location (a laundromat) and it will get much more play than the one at the other location. I plan on doing the second one soon.
Just 5 days later, the rubber ring is already showing more dirt than the Competition ring. And don't forget that rubber also absorbs this dirt, which requires the use of a cleaner and contributes to wear. The silicone ring wipes clean with your finger.
