    I'm doing my AFM entirely in colored Titan Pinball rings. I'm using different colors in different spots. I like it so far but it's not done yet. I'll post pictures in the thread when it's done.

    I'll have pictures tonight but I finished my whole AFM with Titan Colored Rubber and it plays a LOT faster. I mean really. It's a frickin' rocket! I did wax the playfield as well, but really - it's sooo much faster. I did keep my SuperBands on the flippers, because I really like them but the rest of the game is the new Titan rubber.

    The pop bumper pocket is a lot busier. It definitely is more bouncier than the white rubber it had before.

    And by using red rubber up there, it sorta disappears because of the red posts and pop bumpers. Overall, by color coordinating the rubber, it actually is less noticeable than white.

    I'm highly recommending it and I'll keep an eye on wear and breakage. Also, this machine will be at the Atlanta gameroom show.

    Here is a sample of how I did the various colors. They really have a lot more bounce and the machine is a lot more active.

    The biggest problem I had was getting the colors right and ordering the right rings. I talked to the owner of the site and made some suggestions so that it's easier to be sure you have the right size (Manufacturer's Part numbers for each ring). It took me two orders but hey, I figured it out. The game is seriously wicked now. If you want a more active game, this will do it for you. I'm hoping it stays cleaner than white rubber.

    Quoted from Pinballrus:

    Ordered a full set of black for my Shadow, looking to see how these play!

    That's an interesting choice. It'll have black rubber that plays like white so it'll look modern but play like stock. Cool idea.
