Received my order today. DHL for the win. Everything looks great! Very nice sizing chart, beautiful sticker and great packaging. I really like the mini Titan labels on the baggies. They are a nice touch! I can wait to see the GITD rubbers installed. They are already radiant!
Thank you! I'll put up after pics once installed!
Hey all! Just a heads up... We were recently notified that we have a batch of 2 1/2" glow in the dark rings that do not glow. This would be orders from about the beginning of October and on. They are disabled in the store for now and we are working to resolve the issue. If you are affected just hang tight for now, but we will absolutely replace any affected product as soon as we can. Due to the mfg process, covid and the holidays it might be mid January before we can ship replacements. I'll keep updating here as we figure it out.
Thanks,
Eric

Just received my order today. It too was stuck in Texas for six days. USPS is the issue. I have other USPS shipments sitting in other cities around the country.

Bummer. I noticed the GITD flipper rubbers I bought recently were a much darker green than the plunger tip rubber. I haven't looked at them in the dark yet. I'll test them out tonight and report back.

As always.... great customer service to back up a great product.
I'll have to check mine, but I don't have a reference point. Is it only the 2 1/2" that were affected? I think I ordered in early November.

Anyone having an issue with the purple rings tearing? Seems post passes just eat through these things. I’ve gone through 3 rings in 2 months on my ghostbusters.
Calls for 2” the first set didn’t last 2 weeks. I ordered another set and also 2&1/4” to see if that helps going up a size and the ball is just crushing through the rubber.
Before I get lit up, the post is smooth, nothing snagging the rubber and I’ve done the light gentle stretching before installing and pinching on the edges as suggested.

Not Titans falt but dont want to lose money. It has been back and forth to the distribution center 3 times. Was shipped on the 6th. USPS SUCKS!!

I just installed a set of purple on my WC94 a few weeks ago. We have been playing the crap out of it. Ill keep an eye on the slings and see how they are holding up.

Different vendor, but I ordered something on December 6th that was shipped 2 day priority. It just showed up today. Don't lose hope!

Call me crazy. I really debated on color for my Deadpool Premium. Red was too obvious and too much red. Thought about yellow. Thought about Blue. Went with GREEN!!!

I have the glow in the dark rings and they are starting to get dirty. What is the best way to clean them. What products do you use?

Eric mentioned below
Quoted from Titan_Pinball:I use isopropyl alcohol to clean the rings. I have been known to use Honda cleaner polish as well. They sell it at the Honda cycle shops...

Try 2-1/2. Then just get used to rotating them every few hundred plays.
2" is too tight for slingshots on any game I have found. Stepping the size up to 2-1/2" resolves the issue and the rings last for a very long time. I think the manuals in old Sega games also used to call for 2" rings. I have no idea why, as it's terrible advice.
Quoted from EricHadley:What color are people putting on Hot Wheels? Orange seems like too much???
I'm sure people would go with clear....what are your thoughts about trying grey?
Quoted from Captive_Ball:I'm sure people would go with clear....what are your thoughts about trying grey?
Hmmm I’ll have to get some grey out and see. I was debating between red, yellow and blue. But I’ll also compare some grey and see!

I like this. Green is the complenentary color of red. And the are reds and oranges near-by. It works I think
Quoted from EricHadley:Grey was a good suggestion!
Awesome

Quoted from R_Coles:I just got some replacement Titan Stern Slim Tapered post sleeves. Does the tapered (slim) end go on the bottom of the post or the top?
Slim side to the bottom
We do have resellers in Europe. FlipperLED in France, pinballshop.nl in the Netherlands, and Freddy’s pinball paradise in Germany. We also have pinball Haus in Australia.

That looks so nice and clean 
Quoted from Ceckitti:Blue rings on clear posts on Silver Ball Mania (with chrome flippers).
I need new bumper caps...I know
Blue with clear posts looks awesome. Nice choice.
My Torpedo Alley done, with custom kit I made.

I would’ve used their orange or yellow 
Quoted from cleanandlevel:noticing my 2 1/2s for my slings are too big for my NGG
thx
For NGG, the manual lists them as 2" not 2 1/2". I recently replaced all mine and don't have an issue.

thx
2 1/4” is best for Titan. Should let the ball pass and won’t break as quickly.
Another set coming my way for AFM Remake SE
-Titans ordered-Been good to me,A couple breaks here and there..order a couple extras of the sizes you buy in the first place-easy stuff-
I like the black Titans on my machines-
Titans = No gunky black rubber dust all over the playfields that is left when those old school black rubbers dry out = Win
Had a conversation about rubber color yesterday, and it made me wonder: is there any demand for off-white, sort of a light cream color? I could see this being useful for older titles whose natural rubber was not a perfect white even from the factory. The modern benefits of silicone with the look of period-correct rubber supply.
I don't know if this has been brought up in the last 56 pages or not, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
