My guess is the table was designed to play with a certain version of VP. There are so many versions of VP 8 and 9 sometimes the wrong version makes the ball invisible.

That and on certain versions of vp there were dropwall rendering issues. Like using a dropwall for a bumper ring would make the ball invisible when it hit the bumper. If you were trying 9.9, I'd try 9.21 or 9.20.

I just grabbed Smarty from irP, and apparently 94 days was enough for some ball-mending surgery. The image, Smartyball is a bit dark, but it is visible...

Rough table, though; it allows almost no nudging at all. Took about 20-25 games to roll it over, during which I abandoned my VP9 nudge habits.

None of these smilies are acknowledging, or offering to share, a beer, so... :Downapint:

There are a few tables where the ball is invisible until it is shot with the plunger
