Quoted from coop:

However, after the rebuild, this same left flipper when hit by a ball while it was in the up position would not be able to take the weight of the ball's inertia so it would bend down slightly and then spring back.

When the flipper “crashes” like described, the EOS switch isn’t functioning right.
I would start there.

Flipper was crashing when the ball hit it, EOS is not proper. The pawl can stick on the switch, even with power off.
But sure, ignore an obvious place to start.

Quoted from Pin_Guy:

Best guess ... you simply don't have the proper vertical spacing set on the flipper and its binding against the bushing...or worse the playfield. The flipper should have a vertical movement of roughly 1-2mm when moved up and down; if you dont have this spacing simply loosen the hex screw and pull the flipper up a little bit to achieve this spacing, then tighten it back down.

This is also good advice for sticking.
Also of note, the EOS not working could be a broken wire off of the other flipper, they chain the black wire from one to the other.
