I've actually changed all my machines over to Red, I find red rubber is used more in the tournament setting so I changed everything in my collection to match.  But yes it came from the factory with red rubber on the flippers.

Interesting. You and I have disagreed on red vs black for some time. Seems the tournaments want to make the "ball wild" by switching to red rubber. I have always found red rubber evens the playing field a bit as it is more bouncy and makes it harder to control the ball.

Congrats on the score. Awesome playing! I'd take a video of me playing IM at Medvets, but it would take longer to download than watch

I'll still prefer black over red as I like the control that black allows. But red makes it harder and you don't get better by making things easier for yourself.  

My TZ is the perfect example.  I've never played a TZ that plays as Evil and fast and just down right mean as mine does.  So when I play other peoples TZ its like playing a simplistic version of the same game.  Case in point, my average game on my TZ is somewhere between 50 mil and 200 million on my TZ.  My very first game on TZ at the TOPL playoffs was 1.5 billion, that's with no extra balls.
