Electronic hoppers like the revvy work by sensing whether there are balls in the feed by the amount of light let in. If you have a completely clear loader then it lets in more light & on bright days the paddle may continue to spin even if the feed is full. You can even get this effect on very bright days with the coloured Gem hoppers.

So they're fine for use in the UK cos it's never sunny when you play

So weren't your lot playing & getting sun burnt at 2002 Ancaster in July? Verrry hot sunny day & yes, a couple of people did have problems with clear gem revvys.

Aren't all new Revolutions fitted standard with an X-Board which eliminates the "bright light! bright light!" feeding problem?

Halo? I single-feed balls! Even ten-tubes are cheating and will destroy this sport I love!

I had my trusty black revy at Ancaster. Back before I bcame a hopper tart

We had a bit of gooey paint caused by the heat and my neck's only just gone back to it's normal colour now the skin's stopped pealing off

I'll be covering it with pretty stickers next...
