Would using ceramic power balls mitigate ball trails?

#32 3 years ago
Quoted from CrazyLevi:

No, as they are still balls and will be rolling around the game.
Using no balls at all would be a perfect solution to this non-existent problem.
Likewise, removing the flippers, or unplugging the game from the power source would also mitigate.

Thanks for the chuckle, Levi! To be honest, one of my favourite things to do on my pins, other than actually play the crap out of them, is to clean and wax them. Ball trails don’t bother me in the least, but then again my pins are in solid-playing players condition!
