    All 3 of my flippers on fathom are doing this. When you lightly press on the flipper when it's being held up, the flipper flutters. This makes it impossible to catch the ball when playing because when the ball hits the extended flipper it bounces like a trampoline sometimes all the way up the playfield. Really annoying.

    I've adjusted the EOS switches over and over but no luck. Also the EOS switches at the flipper buttons in the cab. Any reason all flippers would be doing this?

    Quoted from zacaj:

    Got a picture of the gap on the EOS switches just to confirm?

    Sure I can get one soon. I thought this was an EOS issue so I did clean and adjust the EOS switches many times with no change to this particular issue though. Weird that it's happening with all flippers no?

    Does this definitely still sound like an EOS issue?

    Update: It was the coil stops! they were worn down, after replacing them the flippers are perfect. No more bounce back at all. Thanks everyone!
