It is in my garage right now! (All the pins at PW are mine.) I'm afraid it isn't for sale, it is going back in my basement. Sorry!

Rather than haul it in the basement, why don't you store it in the garage for a month then bring it to Des Moines for the pinside pin/golf get together????

After having games on location with black rubber, I'm done with it. I have black on TSPP, IM, and SWE1 and they get noticeably dirtier than the other games that have white. That's why SM got white. IM makes me question putting white on it because it is so fast. But next time I shop it out I'm going to try white and see what I think.

You missed taking off the black flipper rubber. Don't you want some crazy bouncy blue flipper rubber? I put purple on my Shadow tonight.

Didn't Clay have a recent post about modern black and white rubber being about the same in bounciness?

I believe he did. I don't think that applies to the flipper rubber though, some colors are way bouncier than others, there's definitely a difference.

True, and some seem grippier than others.

Believe me, I debated going with red flipper rubber. In the end I decided that the game was fast enough that black flipper rubber was the best choice. So I guess I made an exception to my rule.

I put purple on my Shadow tonight.

I think I told you this, but a friend had purple on his Shadow and you couldn't even trap a ball it was so bouncy. That was my introduction to how different flipper rubber colors can make a big difference in how a game plays. After that I decided it was red or black for me, nothing else.

Yeah purple and orange are the bomb. It's kind of a give and take though on it. With the bouncier stuff it's much harder to cradle the ball. However, it's also a lot easier to make steeper shots with them, and the game plays faster with them. All about preferences, I don't cradle much so I go colorful.

We had a great turn out with 31 players. Mike O. took first and Jay D. was second. They had a couple of great matches on Spider-man in the semi-finals.

Results are available here:

Many thanks to everyone for coming out and participating. I had a great time.

A couple of pics.

Had a great time there! It was a fantastic first pinball tournament for me, looking forward to many more of them.

I certainly need to play more of the Spiderman machine, and finally starting to get the hang of IM. The more I play it, the more I like it.
