I can confirm that I'm not getting airballs on my MET with the transparent rubbers. Flipper rubbers, yes, but with these transparent ones I've been good.
The transparent rubbers seem to place about like white rubbers to me with maybe a tad more bounce. The clear superbands are a lot bouncier.
For the times they change white when installing them. A quick trick to get them to go back to transparent again is to just slide them around a bit. When they get twisted our bound up they do that. Spinning them around unbinds them. For example, on a star post. I'll put them on and then spin them around the post about a quarter turn.
They do play a bit different. I like the bounciness but I put them on mainly to help keep things cleaner and I the look with the light shining through them.
