Glad to see a pic of these under "normal" lighting instead of a product pic. Was a little worried that colors might not be as vibrant as the competitor's from product shots, but totally not hesitating to order these at all now..that purple is gonna look freakin' sweet on my STTNG, and orange on Getaway.

Yeap, put orange on my Getaway earlier this week & they look great and play even better. Good grip, good skill shots, They are holding up so far. I also set another high score on my HS, that is enough for me! I don't think you can say that about "you-know-who's"...BOOM!

so some posts have been made that the Saturn rings have failed after short use how about the super bands?

I haven't heard of ANY problems with Super-Bands and I ordered some in BLUE for my JD. I'll report back after I get them and play for awhile.

pics?

Who had the minis? I looked at both sites, didn't see them.

Just ordered some to try.

Why are all the pics and video of them still inside the bag?

Do they work better? Stay cleaner? Why are they better? I don't get it..

All you seem to have reviewed so far is the different colors and how they fit on one game. I think he, like me, was expecting a review of how they play. If you're only reviewing appearance, you might want to change the subject line to reflect that.

I think Marco is coming to the Houston Pin show in a few weeks.
I will certainly be picking up some of these if they bring them.

The SuperBands will be on some of the games at Pinball Expo in Chicago next week as per a post in another thread. looking towards your review "HP" after some plays. Thanks for posting the great pics of your shipment.

Now, if you're a Mr. Common Sense, you won't believe me when I tell you that I've got a ring that will clean your pin while you're playing it at home. Well, George, believe me this time, because this one isn't like the Austrian self-sharpening razors. No, friends, no overheating like the tropical fishes. No zizzing and dripping like the early prophylactics of the 30's dear friends, no... (click!)

Installed in ACDC LE and like them. Put about 10 games on and they play well. Like the look and choice of multiple colors for the mini play field is cool. The translucent quality is nice with good lighting. Happy with them so far. Will see how they hold up...

What's obvious is that this isn't really a review. I tried to tell you nicely why others were questioning the thread after you gave one a hard time. If you want to see captain obvious, take a look in the mirror.

A complete review would include how they play. I get that folks here are interested in all the colors, but we've already seen the colors on the website. You're not adding much to the conversation so far other than don't mix the two on ST.

I put some in iron man and x men so far I'm really digging them

I'm going to add them in AFM which seems to chew through rubbers

I'm about to drop an order of these as well to put on F-14 and NASCAR to see how they play especially on F-14, should be interesting.

Why... these just seem like ... flipper rubbers!! And after all this drama.

And since you respond so well to criticism - you should have fully cleaned those bats before putting on the rings!
I can SEE that crud still on 'em Tough crowd on the interwebz...

Serious question: do you have to have Hulk-like strength to get these over the bats? I'm hoping the earlier comments were made by those prone to fainting spells.

Love them on my sttng. Big difference.

Sounds like from this totally unbiased review I should just toss those SATURNS in the trash when they get here and not bother to put them on my games.

Fair enough, I am actually more interested in the shooter tips the white rubber ones I bought are junk, won't stay centered on the rod and just fall apart.

Why do you guys have to bust my balls

I haven't even got this baby home yet for a shop job. I do appreciate the new rubbers though HighProtein. Oh, and play away.

Played some games with these yesterday. First impressions weren't favorable. Shots felt awkward—backhands especially so. I actually was able (if you can call it that) to backhand a ball into a slingshot and out the opposite outlane and generally it seemed I was always pulling backhand shots. Traps seemed a little easier and spinning balls seemed to do fewer unpredictable things. Couldn't get a loop pass to work on any game with urethane flippers. The ball seems like it almost slides down the rubber when you drop the flipper as opposed to bouncing over. I have a bunch coming to try out and perhaps I can give a better description after I play some of my own games with these things.

Will do.

I bought med and hard so I will see which work better for the shooters.
I bought hard med and soft on the rings, out of stock on a lot of the medium colors so it looks like a lot of guys are going medium on these.

Just curious if you decided to put them on all your machines before you even tried them. I know this is supposed to be a better product than the competition, but after one game with the "others" on there, I couldn't wait to get them off. I will also try superbands, but I have no intention of putting them on all my machines unless they out-perform regular rubbers during gameplay.

But this is the superbands complaint/comment dept... only one type of hardness. Don't confuse me ... but I DO want to hear about the Saturn in the other thread

I didn't get the superbands for ALL my machines but I bought more than I should to justify the shipping. So if I end up taking them all off I'll be cursing away over here... should have them in a couple days. Quit scaring me in the meantime.

I DID buy some standard blue, black and red though... figured I'll always need these.

I wasn't trying to scare you, but the ones I put on METLE (not super bands) made the flippers feel very weak. Good for the longevity of playfield parts, but for gameplay, not so much.

100% opposite of what I found.

Putting those number 2 Saturn Rings on MET made hitting the ramps easy and effortless. Feels like I put more powerful coils on the pin. In fact they feel too strong on AFM so I will probably take them off.

I thought that was because they broke.

Why would you think that?
