    Why the hate for lightning flippers again? Is it just because the designers didn't design the game with them? Added difficulty?

    Is the upper flipper (3rd) on Black Rose a lightning bolt as well or just the lower flippers? I would think not as I don't see the purpose with that flipper.

    I do in a couple. Like Family Guy and Guns N Roses. Yes, it's not exactly how they shipped, but it doesn't change the play at all. The lightning flippers do. But, I have LEDS in a small percentage of my games. Do you have any LED's in your games?

    +1. I'm not seeing the benefit of these and wont be adding them. If you ever find it in the wild or in a tournament, it will have lightning flippers on it. To me it's like moving the outlanes all the way closed, if you ever discuss a high score, there will always have to be an asterisk next to it.

    Every tournament FT I've played has only featured lightning flippers. There was a FT I had access to on route that I played a lot of, but it had regular flippers instead of lightning. As a result, I often struggle in tournament play on FT. All the shots are at different spots on the flippers. So my vote is lightning.

    I swapped the lightnings with the standard flips back and forth in my BSD for two weeks straight, trying to decide what to keep in the game. I don't care what the game was designed for, BSD is more fun to "me" with Lightning flippers. I hope Rick can get the "Blood-Red" color sorted out so I can put a set in my game soon :)

    ... , but at home playing for free, I like the different feel lightning flippers give these two games. Lightning flippers make the game play a little tougher than regular flippers as tip passes are slightly ... 't that big of a deal. Luckily flippers are pretty easily interchangable so you can change out lightning with regular flippers (or vice versa) within a matter of minutes.

    FT is hard as heck with lightning flippers and I know they were just a cash cow ploy for ops, but it's what was originally on the game, as well as BSD and DW, so I can't bring myself to replacing. I own two of those games and had BSD in the past, all had the lightning flips on them.
