    12800 plays later, Cleaned weekly on location with just soap and water... How long will they last, they still look new.

    How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop? The world may never know.

    Dr. Joe would know, but if he doesn't show up, let's just assume they last forever.

    I've got them on all my machines and they all still look brand new..

    that really speaks a lot for the quality. love em or hate em [I love em], on route they seems like a no brainer. that's a LOT of plays.
    About how often do you see the normal flipper rubbers wear out? 5K?

    SuperBandz 4 LYFE!

    I'm lovin my bands, and I think I'll pop em on all my games... When I get more games...

    I have converted all my games to SuperBands and I have no regrets whatsoever.

    An op here has already gone through multiple sets so it does happen.

    I have superbands on the games I have on location and they are starting to wear, one looks like it's going to snap (has a small fracture thats growing along the tip of the flipper)

    am I impressed? ya I guess but they are pretty good bands, not super bands... are they worth the premium? sure, my time is worth more than the difference in price

    Never because they never come out of the drawer.

    #14 9 years ago

    I changed Standard Flipper rubbers about every 2k plays on location.

    #15 9 years ago

    Out of curiosity, what machine is it that has 12.8k plays with them?

    They are hard un responsive and feel dead , like plastic ... Or shitty pool bumpers ... I have them on a couple route games but , my players don't like them ... They last forever I think ..

    So far same ones on my star trek pro since Oct 2013. 1700+ plays. Clean them once a month with novis 1.
    No issues or wear yet.

    Same here. I have had them on my Getaway for about 3 months or so. They get a little dirty but look brand new after a simple cleaning. I prefer the more solid feel and they definitely hold up better than the rubber. I just ordered a set for my second pin - ST.
