Ottogd's recent post about his Spirit has given me a great idea.  Whenever I can't make up my mind about an important issue relating to pinball, I will just throw it out into the community and let them help me decide.  Here's my quandry :

My Back to the Future pin came with the traditional red flipper rubber. I put on some blue rubbers and they look good too.  I can't decide...red or blue  ?  

Please help me !!!

If there is no downside in terms of feel go with the looks, break tradition.

Yeah, I bought it from tiger_31.  I like the game more than I thought I would....and it is in very nice shape.   I'm still waiting to hear your answer to my flipper rubber question.

Heh, I used the reds and like it that way. You'd probably have to post a pic of what the blues look like installed.

How come no one has addressed the fact that different colours can affect the bounce of the ball?

I have yet to see it on Mythbusters, but certain colours are known to have more of a bounce or deadening affect on the ball.

I hear Red has the best bounce for flippers...
