Hi Guys,
I have an AC/DC pro and one of the flipper rubbers has broke. Is it okay to play without the rubber until I get the replacement, or does this damage the flipper? Thanks so much.

I wouldn't make a habit out of it. You could bust the flipper and make a 5 second repair to a 30 minute repair.
My vote would be no. I'd consider taping the rubber back together (with the tape on the underside of the flipper) before I did that. Still janky and of course not recommended but it sounds a lot better than playing without one.
Quoted from Who-Dey:No its not ok. Is this question real?
I'm with you - this has to be a gee-up surely......
I suspect real question, as I have seen this come up in the past.
If you are waiting for a new set of flipper rubbers, buy a bag of rubber bands at a dollar store. These will tide you over and then the bar will not get cracked or damaged from ball stress.

No, you will crack the plastic flipper bat in short order.
