Quoted from pinballinreno:

Remove each switch, elongate the hole sideways in the metal mounting bracket 1/8" to 3/16" so the switches can be slid sideways a bit away from the inner loop.

Thanks for the instructions! I have only had the game for a few weeks, but that shot is really really tight. By looking at it, my right target looks fine as it is just outside the lane, but I think the left one could stand to be slid over a bit. Would you agree?

Quoted from zahner:

That might help a bit, but it’s the kind of shot but once you get it down, it’s not that hard to make.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping it was the game and not me, but I am pretty sure it is 90% me.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

I would adjust them both.

I think I will put some more games on it and then give this a shot. At least then when I miss...I will know it is all me.

Thanks!

Quoted from bobukcat:

Just learn to backhand it and be able to post pass from left to right, you'll be fine.

I had no idea that was even possible.

I just tried it and made about 1 out of 10...which is around the same percentage that I make from the left flipper.

Quoted from rosh:

Key to king of cards is understanding that that you need to hold the flipper the right amount to get the needed height (lower hope, both hoops, upper, too high). First get the feel for the timing from press to release for the 'both' level, then work to find the spot on the curtain to start the press. Of course since the speed of the hoops changes as you make shots, you need to learn multiple spots in each direction for the different speeds.

Thanks for the tips! I really enjoy this mode and appreciate the challenge of it. Probably my favorite video mode in all of pinball.
