I have been noticing there are a lot of upper left flipper games that are highly sought after. Congo, Tron, Earth Shaker, etc.

Do you prefer upper left flipper games or upper right?

Im a little heavy on the upper right in my collection and I have been considering maybe adding an ES to the line up to get that left shot. My SF2 doesnt count, I wont even mention it.....whoops.

Are there design advantages of doing either side? Is it a designer preference?

SR & PL are the big modern designers that seem to prefer upper right.
I always assume it's like that because most people are right handed, whatever that means.
Doesn't really matter to me, the truth is that I am just as good with either

I think there are a lot more upper right flipper games out there. I don’t think I have a preference. You could probably swap any of them and they’d still be just as fun

You need to add a 3rd option of "no preference"

I own more right games so I'd assume I'm a bit better at them but I dont have a preference.

This. What difference does it make. As long as a machine is fun to play.
