New vinyl field covers..first look pictures

[larue]

Ok, last night our league put down and played on the new vinyl field cover for the first time useing a Watts board.. Here is what we found:
1. The material looks beautiful,very strong and the tacky back adhesive is excellent.
2.You need more than one person to apply the cover and your field most be squeaky clean before you do.
3. It must be applied very slowly to prevent air bubbles which can be a problem.We did have several very small ones but to our surprise it did not effect the players at all, they ran perfectly on the cover. You can get the bubbles out if you take your time.
4. This type of field is great for games with motors that will not push the extra weight that a magnetic cover adds.
5. If you are someone who wants to change his field in and out a lot this may not be for you simply because it takes longer than a magnetic field.
6. As a whole our league thought the cover was a thumbs up.
It looked sharp and played great. It was just the cover we needed because our motor couldn't handle the weight of a magnetic cover.
I have posted some pictures

What is the cost compared to the magnetic ?

Very nice, I too would be interested in a cost comparison.

Vinyl covers are $65 for stock 620's and smaller. $75.00 and up for larger.
Special design or logo $10.00 to $15.00 extra.
Buy two and you save a bunch.

John,
Great work on the field covers. The one that I bought in Detroit looks and wroks great. It is well worth the money. It transforms an field into a new one.
Best of all, my son loves it.
Will you come up with accessories for the inner frame?

Thanks,
Mark Francis
