Quoted from cooked71:

Bounce passing is an issue on my Twilight Zone - especially from the slot machine. With rubber bands, you could safely bounce pass directly from the slot machine eject and cradle on the left flipper - which meant you could make almost every shot. Changed to super bands and the bounce pass barely makes it across meaning you can't cradle it and have to hit it straight away. Im changing back.
Having said that, I also have them on my STLE and they're great. I think because its such a fast game.

That's weird because mine never used to bounce off the right flipper to the left one but it does since I put on superbands. It used to bounce up from the right flipper and SDTM but now it bounces nicely to the left flipper.

Quoted from phishrace:

Did you have old hard black rubbers on there before? That would do it. Unless you have your game pitched at 9 degrees, new black rubbers will bounce the ball over just fine.
Depending on the kickout (and pitch, obviously), super bands will bounce the ball over most of the time. But not a big bounce and not as reliably as conventional black rubbers. And as the slot machine VUK coil warms up, the kickout is less predictable. If you're playing in a tourney or league, you don't trust the bounce with super bands. Flip or live catch the kickout. I wouldn't recommend super bands on a TZ for tourney or league play. Folks are gonna get pissed. That bounce is a god given right (in the eyes of many players anyway d.

Old rubbers were red. Didn't use TZ in the last Tournament but will likely use it for the next one. It plays more like a TZ should with the super bands on it than it did with the regular rubber.
