Hey, quick update and a HUGE thanks to everyone in this thread. I picked up my first pin locally after a ton of reading and research. I went ahead and decided to go the Stern Pro route and picked up a really nice AIQ machine locally. It plays great and I’m already loving it. Now just on to building my skills and locking those gems. I’ll still be on the lookout for that TAF I want, but in the meantime I’ve got something I can really enjoy with my family and ease into the hobby with.
