Golden Tee Trackball Vs Others..

(1/4) > >>

Kaiser:
Im about to start building my cabinet, and ive been shopping around for parts for it.  Ive noticed theres several trackballs available on ebay, some which are for golden tee.. and others that arent.

My question is this, is there much of a difference in feel between the two?  Ive never played Golden Tee, most likely never will, but sometimes I see good deals on that trackball.  Will I be disapointed if I try to use it for games like Centipede?

Donger:
I have the golden tee tb, it feels just fine.  Mounting it will be a pain though.

8bit:
They should work the exact same.  Only thing I can think would be different would be a limit installed that would restrict you from hitting those long tee shots in goldentee

the trackballs on ebay that are advertized as golden tee trackballs are just regular happs or betson-imperial 3" trackballs. the only thing you have to watch out for is if the tb did come off a golden tee machine chances are that it is pretty worn out. the tb's on the golden tee machines see alot more stress and hard usage then say a marble madness or centipede. here is a link to betson.  http://www.betson.com/search_results.asp?search=&find_deptId=&find_PrtName=trackball&Pagecount=3 check out their refurb 3" trackball. with shipping it is like $36. i bought two from them, one for my golden tee machine and one for my mame machine and they work great for both. hope this helps.

i have never heard of anything you could install into a trackball that would limit its motion. i have owned probably 30-40 trackballs,mostly used ones, and have never seen such a thing. usually the reason you cant hit the ball as far on a certain machine is because either the bearings or the rollers or both are worn out.
