Hello,
I have a client who has a Stern Star Trek. His home play rivals locations in the amount of play it gets. He wants the best longest lasting rubber for the game.
I know opinions vary. Just wondering what the best rubber to order. Thanks in advance!

PBL PerfectPlay. Perfect amount of bounce, great colors, best price.
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:You'll get better results during your research if you search for silicone rather than silicon.
To quote Sir Mix-a-lot "Cause silicone parts are made for toys"; while silicon, in-fact, is not.
I have Titans in my games, however I can't justify there shipping of late. Last order would have been $14.95 for the rubber and $49.00 to ship.
Anecdotally, titan rings broke faster and with more frequency than traditional rubber rings for me w/ games on route.
Again, I have no data to back this up, and maybe the games w/ titans were played more than the ones w/ rubbers; I noticed problems with the smallest posts very frequently compared to traditional rubbers.

This has been my experience. I think silicon is better suited for the home environment where it will get fewer plays, so its advantages will shine through:
1) Fun colors available
2) Does not dry out with age compared with rubber
3) Stays cleaner, or at least easier to clean than rubber

There is an issue with the website causing the "First Class Parcel" option to be unavailable. It has been resolved. If anyone would like to check thier cart now, you should see a less expensive option.

I added a few rubbers to the cart and these were shipping options, looks fixed.
Priority Mail Express International - $50.30
Priority Mail International - $41.50
First-Class Package International Service - $20.75
Working Perfectly! BTW, we don't add any extra cost to our shipping

Sadly with the quoted shipping and no reply to the email sent went with standard black rubber!
Will try again the next time I need a rubber order.
