    Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

    Super-bands are murder to get on and, once on, they're hard as rocks. Worst for bounce passing, for sure. Simple rubber is my favorite.

    This is totally correct. For my games at home or setting up a game for a tournament, it is pure old fashioned rubber all the way. I would never use anything else unless I was putting a game on route or something.

    To me for pure game play and feel rubber is the best, followed by silicone and then a very big gap and poly in last place. Superbands simply play like crap.

    Super Bands have little or no bounce. Makes it easy to do a drop catch and almost impossible to do a dead flipper pass. They are also really sticky, so the slightest amount of spin on the ball results in major changes in shot direction and loss of accuracy. When they first came out, I thought they were cool because of how they looked and all the colors. After buying a bunch and using them for a while, I pulled them all off my machines and threw them in the trash.
