Description

This article is from the General Pinball FAQ, by Keith Johnson keefer@access.digex.net with numerous contributions by others.









2.13 - What is the size of a pinball?

1 1/16" diameter, weight 80 grams for a regular steel ball.
1 1/16" diameter, weight 65 grams for the Powerball.

A "normal" pure ceramic Powerball would only weigh 40 grams. However, there
are apparently several different types of ceramic, and the Powerball is one
of these.

By comparison, if the Powerball was phenolic (the stuff used to make pool
balls), it would weigh 13.6 grams (or maybe 17.7 with a steel middle).
