The one & only, Ball Baron™ Pinballs! We have here The NINJA! The POLARIS! and Announcing the All New HI-STANDARD!

We are the newest Ball Baron™ distributor and the information below was taken from The Ball Baron™ website with explicit permission from the Baron. Every order benefits Pinside.

"NINJA": Considered the shiniest and most finely polished pinball in the world, the Ninja is a solid chrome standard size/weight pinball that has been hardened and shined to an unprecedented mirror finish. The Ninja ball is not only the shiniest but will last longer before going dull than any other ball. Measures 1-1/16″ and weighs 2.8 oz.

NOTE: Some games which use magnets will rapidly magnetize the Ninja ball after just a few plays – those we are aware of include Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones (Stern), and Dialed In. Other modern Stern games can cause chrome pinballs including the Ninja ball to become magnetized over time, leading to balls sticking together (usually in the trough). If you suddenly experience drained balls not being “seen” by the game, your balls have become magnetized. If your game has magnetic features, try our Polaris carbon pinballs.

"POLARIS": Non-magnetic carbon steel pinball measuring 1-1/16″, 2.9oz
When the magnetic features in your machines demand a different ball.

NOTE: Polaris carbon pinballs, no matter how much they are professionally polished, do not have the ultra shine of the more expensive Ninja pinball and will have more of a satin finish. The weight and roundness are exactly on spec for a pinball. Chromes are 2.8 oz (80 grams)and carbons are 2.9 oz (81 grams). Carbon balls are also softer in nature than chrome balls and will scratch faster than chrome. Please take this into consideration if you have become used to the look of the Ninja or standard chrome ball because carbon, having a different molecular structure, won’t measure up to the chrome balls in appearance but will give you much longer lasting play in a machine with magnets. ALL CARBON BALLS ARE MADE OUTSIDE THE USA. The US manufacturers all contract with foreign sources to make carbon steel balls for the secondary market as they cannot be used for high stress, low friction or low noise mechanical applications.

ABOUT MAGNETISM: If a machine has aggressive magnet usage, there is still a small chance the ball may become magnetized over time. Polaris balls are designed to resist this magnetization far longer than Ninja balls. However, be aware that some machines feature long periods of sustained magnet usage and no ball can stay totally ‘neutral’ forever.

"HI-STANDARD": New offering for players that don't require the ULTIMATE in pinball, or "Players quality" games that might not see the benefit of the ultra smooth NINJA pinball, and don't require the extreme anti-mag capabilities of the POLARIS. These new High Standard balls are only a couple steps away from the Ninja, but considerably more affordable.
