Golden Tee Trackball Durability

(1/4) > >>

Javinator:
Hello all.

I'm right at the beginning of getting into this little hobby and I'm just getting a parts/price list together for my first build. I'll definitely be having a 3" trackball on a modular CP (another post for another time once I get my act together ;)) which will likely be used for a lot of Golden Tee play.

Obviously I will need to make sure it is well mounted and supported, but I'm more concerned with the trackball itself. I've been looking at a few different model trackballs and was just wondering if anyone has had any durability issues during regular Golden Tee/similar use. If I break the frame of my CP while playing, well that's a construction issue and my fault. If I break the trackball itself though, well that's a whole other issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've played Golden Tee pretty religiously with friends for the the past 6 years on an X-arcade trackball and never had any issues. Still works like a charm. A few other games like World Class Bowling and Shuuz often get thrown in as well.

+1 for the X-Arcade trackball.  Mine gets a ton of Golden Tee play with no issues so far at all, but I've only had mine for about 2 years.

If you get a Happ 3" trackball and manage to damage it without the use of fire or acetone, let us know.  In other words, you'll never wear it out.  The housing is tank-like.  The rollers will wear down from friction in about, say 30 years or so.  Wait.  If you use this in a home make that 80 years. ;)

Javinator:
Sounds like I'm pretty safe.

Thanks for the heads up guys.  :)
