I love it when you hit the bell and it goes right down the middle! ...or better yet when it just goes from the pops to that lane and then down the middle!
F'in Awesome!

I get minimal drains right down the middle off the bell but if I get it into the vuk behind the bell it's a guaranteed SDTM drain if it doesn't hit the bell on kick out (which seems to be 75% of the time). That can be frustrating but would be more so if I could actually hit that vuk more often.
I've learned to give the machine a hard nudge to the right just as the ball is exiting the bell lane. Works like a charm.

You gotta give her a good nudge!

Its called a risk/reward shot. Maybe you need to set your game up steeper so the ball catches the rubber post and diverts it from going SDTM. Mine it only happens about 1/25 shots. I usually wait for multiball to start hammering away at the bell.

This is definitely a good idea especially when the ball is exiting the pops slowly.

To the right? Or the left? I nudge the pin to the left in order to get the ball to hit the post rubber when it comes out, which keeps it from going SDTM.
EDIT: I'm an idiot. Yes, to the right. I'm hitting the left side of the pin to nudge it to the right. Sorry!
Quoted from VisitorQ:Design better
Dude, you are in the running for biggest troll/whiner out there.
This game can be finicky in how you have to set it up, but if you get the balance and pitch right, as has been said over and over in numerous threads, you won't have a major problem.
Also the bell is risk/reward.... I mostly go for the bell in multi-ball during the ball saver.... The way the table is designed is perfect. A GOOD player wants risk/reward.
Namaste.
Quoted from VisitorQ:Good thing whinny people like me put food on designer's table.
Good thing you are around ! I can't imagine the world with out you 
Fan Boy ? You got that right !!

The first post in this thread below has pictures of the wide rubber mod to help solve the STDM drains:

clay talks about it on his review at 7:40
Yep..gotta play better. AC/DC is a game you must nudge. It is part of the game. I always think if I am going to take that cannon shot and risk a nasty bounce or wait until multiball. The game is designed perfectly to reward good shots and keep the player on his toes, weighing all options.
The shots can be made. Practice and this game is very rewarding. Separates the players from collectors.
Quoted from Tommi_Gunn:SR's games are usually drain monsters. nothing new there.
Truth..
I just got Rollergames up and running and even with the posts in the middle setting, still getting a LOT of outlane drains from the really strong slingshots!

That yellow thing is fugly. Black or white would be a lot nicer looking.
How does the black rubber ring from the link above block the shot any different from that fat yellow ugly thingy?

tried a couple different things. i didn't like black though. i'm sticking with the yellow ugly thing. it's the only thing i look at when i play. plus, it matches most of the ugly art.
Quoted from smassa:Maybe this is more your speed.
I wouldn't touch that without some Cliffy's.

Does it have LEDs in it as well?

i agree with you on this one. you own it, you got the right to slam it. it's a frustrating pin for several reasons. try to fix what you don't like about it or trade/sell. maybe give it another shot down the road. this is my 2nd one.
Quoted from Av8:DO NOT add that big Ugly Rubber on that post. Will completely BLOCK and RUIN that shot. Clays so called review was crap. Someone ripped and reposted.
Time to close this thread.
i like it. works great. doesn't block anything. need to level your game or shoot better.
where's your review video? i'm sure it's more informative and it offers great suggestions for potential buyers and owners. please post it when you have time.

Yes, he's entitled to complain about the game since he bought one. The problem is, he complained about the game before he bought one and now he's still whining and calling people names. He also pulled a bait and switch with the subject line. I clicked on this thread thinking someone had something good to say about the game. Nope. It's just him whining again.

I think the damn thing has been designed with the little bat things about an inch too far apart. Also has anyone noticed there are ridiculous openings on either side of the machine that the ball sometimes falls down and doesnt come back?!! I have found that I have to wobble the whole machine to try to stop this from happening! What's all that about!?
Quoted from BowlingJim:Try these mods for the outlanes they work great and you can remove them with no damage to your game. It will make you play better. LOL
I think he needs to hammer some nails in the playfield between the flippers. Maybe make that bell shot easier. 
Quoted from Spankey:The shots can be made. Practice and this game is very rewarding. Separates the players from collectors.
Yep. No wonder Q is whining about it. 
Quoted from McCune:Fn classic ! Tommy you crack me up .

I know what you mean , Jim
the 2nd BIGGEST AC/DC BASHER on pinside ,now HAS a 2nd one???????
Quoted from grh450:once again, it is freaking hilarious to go back a few months and read some of the posts from the same guys who NOW HAVE the machine
Some people cant deal well with peer pressure.
