Pinball Terminology Question

[Espy]

Something I've always wondered, and never found the answer to. The path that a ramp is connected to (e.g., you hit a ramp, and then the ball travels down it.) If it is wireframe, it's known as a habitrail. But what if it's plastic? I always draw a blank when I'm talking about it. Best thing I can think of is a chute. Any suggestions?

Ball return? I think I've also heard plastic ones described as habitrails too. Makes sense if you think about it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitrail).

Um... I just refer to them as "ramps". Possibly ball guides, but normally just ramps.

What he said.

If it's plastic, it's almost always part of the ramp, or in some cases, part of a different ramp (Cyclone is one example).

 

[Kolchak357]

I usually call them returns or return ramps. But I've heard all the ones mentioned above as well.

Makes sense. Thanks guys. And sorry for the delayed response!
