Yup I love the look of Matsuis but dayum they're like trying to get an air hockey puck to sit still. I do however think that the latest Matsui GB chips are great. I only have a shuffle stack but they didn't bother me at all.
I've always thought of myself as much more tolerant than average of slipperiness in plastic chips and I just cannot do Matsuis other than the CiC variety.
My 2 barrels of sample Matsui CIC chips have a lot of spinners.
Which matsui regular all-plastic? There’s about 5 different Matsui chip lines and they all feel pretty distinct.I bought a set of 300 Matsui CiCs just to put them in small volume, short-handed play to see if I could take it. They're marginally less slippery than the regular all-plastic and they do have some spinners in the bunch, but I guess I'm a little more tolerant bc I love CiCs so much.
FWIW the custom prices and small-volume penalties for Matsui CiCs are a fair bit more forgiving than other plastic manufacturers. $1.10 per chip at 500 or more per design, $1.43 if under 500, with $300 per design art/set-up fee.

Looking at a potential custom order from a plastic manufacturer and thinking through some design ideas.
Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet in three pages of posts, but...FWIW I will 99% be going Abbiati.

Get samples, and of the exact chips you are considering purchasing. At least a stack of each.
Especially so if ordering plastics, as the different product lines from the same company can vary significantly in terms of feel, sound, and play characteristics.
So are you sure these are real injection-molded Abbiatis and not their hybrid ceramic line?The outer spots on the hundo are pretty washed out, but they are a soft pink.

This may have already been asked/answered, can u pop out and place an inlay from a sun-fly or abbiati chip?
I think I'm pretty open to whatever chips. I adore CIC chips. But matsuis were so slippery, they were sold after 1 game. Can't every do it again.... Bleh.I've always thought of myself as much more tolerant than average of slipperiness in plastic chips and I just cannot do Matsuis other than the CiC variety.
^^ true story ^^Abbiati. Not even close.
Yeah, in my case I dealt with a US rep and she asked what base colors I wanted. She then relayed to the Euro folks those choices, they sent back to her proofs of those chips that had overrun stock and the numbers for each chip.So they just slap on your inlay? That could work.
I’m thinking limit set- so easily 1K for the workhorse. The above option sounds great for the value chip.
I got a few of the BJ's bingo chips just sitting around. I think they're chipco but could be wrong. I'll send you one or two if you'd like. Just pm me your address.Went through a bunch of Washington, California, and Arizona rooms tonight and found the below.
Most of them aren't really great and some aren't even plastic, but each has an interesting element or two that I think does or could (if otherwise designed well) work well in a plastic chip.
