yea, because regular slings would never do that. Nope, not on any NIB stern...right? Have you ever owned a NIB stern? First 100 games are. Sling,sling, side drain. Sling sling side drain. if the sling gets ahold of the ball at all. It's pass, pass and out the outlane, every time. The game is almost unplayable the first 100 games. Happened on my LOTR, happened on my AC/DC and my TF.,

it's obvious the thing that would happen, is the shear force between both magnets would rip the ball in half, and both halfs would slide down the playfield into the outhole. You people better stock up on pinballs and have an ample supply on hand. This is obviously going to be a major problem on GB premium/LE. I would be very concerned if I were you. I don't suspect a ball being torn in half would not leave some metal shards, which could lead to playfield wear as well. I think everyone should have a dustbuster mounted to the side of the cabinet, so you can vacuum it out on weekly basis, to clean out the metal dust and shards. This is also a good time to take out the other large pieces of blown ball out of your game. Maybe keep a tube of them handy under the game, so you can just install new ones. Now I see all the concern about magnet flippers...(sorry slings).
