Spinning Posts

A circular, non-motorized plastic turntable inset into the playfield as part of its surface, typically fitted with two rubbered posts. When the ball strikes one of the posts, the turntable spins freely, redirecting the ball and rotating the posts to a new orientation. Unlike Spinning Discs, which are motorized and spin continuously, spinning posts rotate only in response to ball contact and come to rest between hits. The result is a playfield element whose behavior changes with each interaction — the posts face a different direction after every hit, making the ball’s deflection angle unpredictable from one shot to the next.
