Shooterlane Protector
A Shooterlane Protector is a specially designed playfield protector for the shooter lane area of a pinball machine. The shooter lane is one of the areas of the playfield subject to particularly high mechanical stress, as the pinball accelerates upon launch and repeatedly passes over or strikes certain spots.
With regular play, signs of wear, damage, or visible wear and tear can develop over time in the shooter lane area of the playfield. Therefore, especially for pinball machines that are played frequently, it makes sense to protect vulnerable areas early on.
The Shooter Lane Protector is custom-designed to fit the specific pinball machine and is mounted at the designated location on the shooter lane. There, it forms an additional protective layer between the pinball and the sensitive playfield, thereby helping to reduce mechanical wear.
A Shooterlane Protector is suitable both for new pinball machines as a preventive measure and for older machines where the playfield needs to be preserved over the long term. It is a particularly useful addition for collectors, operators, and owners of high-quality pinball machines to protect the original playfield Surface.
