A uniform surface supports movement through compatible tracks and ramps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalls with corrosion, deep scratches, or impact marks should be inspected before use.

Its mass also contributes to the movement expected in pinball mechanisms designed for this type of ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is not stainless. Exposure to moisture, fingerprints, or improper storage may contribute to oxidation, making cleaning, drying, and protected storage important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWeight and Mechanism Behavior\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach ball has a listed nominal weight of 2.849 oz, equivalent to approximately 80.789 g. The five balls represent approximately 403.945 g of combined metal weight, excluding packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight influences launching, speed, return, and interaction with machine components. Do not replace the ball with a visually similar product without confirming both its dimensions and mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCleaning and Storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore installation, clean each ball using a procedure compatible with carbon steel and dry the surface completely. Avoid abrasive products or materials that could scratch the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep spare balls in a dry location protected from condensation and corrosive agents.
