With how cheap I was able to get a sample kit of the rubbers, I just dove right in. I love them! I haven't really tried other colored rubber rings, but these are totally sweet. I mentioned in another thread that since I have put some blue ones on the slings of my EBDLE, I have not had nearly as many sling to outlane speed balls. Not sure if I am just luckier, but those type of house balls don't really happen any more. the flipper rubber rings are awesome too. Noticed a much better dead bounce and feel than Superbands.
