    Most of my experience is with Gottliebs. To me I have never seen the need to high tap a game, but then again I always completely shop and wax including flipper rebuilds, cleaning contacts and 100% new coil sleeves. In rare cases I might pull some wire off of pop bumper coils, but that is an exception and not a rule. My games all play snappy as hell and can be enjoyed by a purist or a speed nut.

    Quoted from gdonovan:

    3" vs 2" flippers.
    Longer flipper is going to have a bunch more leverage behind it. Think adding a cheater bar to a tire wrench.
    Come to think of it, I don't think any of my 3" games are high tapped, just a few of the 2" ones.

    Actually the 3" have less leverage, but more velocity if you hit the ball within that extra inch.
