  I think it makes a difference how flat the playfield is beneath the protector. If you put one on an awesome playfield, and the protector sits flat on it with zero gap, then it will play faster (less spongey). If the playfield is uneven, badly raised inserts, the protector sits more than a few thou away...

  Love the custom touches boys. Making shit yourself makes your pins a true one off. Hard to tell which is best. The header looks amazing but that base ball bat looks wicked. To hard to call.

  Rob is correct.
