Just a quick one..

When I get my pin (hopefully soon), it's going to live on a tiled floor and was wondering if it's a good idea to place any anti slip pads underneath the legs? Purely thinking of the times when trying to stop balls draining.

Yes definitely, for that reason and to protect the floor in general anyway, rubber feet are available from Amazon or pinball suppliers [emoji106]

That has prompted me as I kept meaning to ask... what about on pile (domestic) carpet? I've always cut out a scrap of carpet to go under the feet, has anyone ever used those rubber feet cup things when its on carpet?

I use Teflon gliders (designed to be used with furniture), you can slide then machine around with one finger - only issue is it makes nudging interesting. Protects the carpet well, obviously you get indents but the ice cube trick works on those.

Yes, I have. They spread the load by increasing the surface area. Not sure how much they protect the carpet from wear.

Those Teflon sliders are incredible. Developed by nasa for the space programme so they could play in space. One nudge on carpet and you’ve got yourself a game of curling

LOL yes I think the Teflon could be a step too far... especially as it's next to a wall Reminds me of old days playing them in pubs where sometimes you'd finish games about 2 feet away from where you started!

Got some old railway sleeper pads somewhere, nice rubbery things, they may well do the job, work fine on the bed

Mr Palmer does extremely good rubber wellies for pins on hard surfaces. I used to swear by them in my old house which had a hard floor

Stick them on wheels. Makes the game last for ages.

 

[Calimori]

Yep, those are the ones I use.

Actually thought you meant putting a wellie on each leg

@PAX I’ve got some spare ones in fact. If you’d like them then send me a pm
