Quoted from Animal:I checked out a JJP recently and the flipper strength was weaker than Stern. Ive since hear from different sources that there is a difference and there is no difference, so I thought I would put it out here:
Are JJP flippers noticeably weaker than Stern?
On location, and certain(t)y at shows, JJP flippers are often set up weaker.
JJP flippers come with a lot of excuses from the factory folks, but they can be teaked to come close to Stern strength,
Quoted from Animal:Thanks Zacaj, I just checked out a Dialed In and we went into the menu and turned flipper strength up to max (30). ...
The problem with DI is that increasing the upper flipper strength makes the sim card shot even harder. Balancing act with that one.
Quoted from Rob_G:Dialed In is a great example where the right flipper can barely make the left orbit shot and it bogs when trying to shoot Bob targets.
One of my only issue with the machine...I really dont like that. It's so confusing to me why a wide left orbit is the hardest shot in the game for me 
sans Sim
Quoted from FatPanda:I think the geometry of the left orbit is off just enough where it turns clunky. I think it's too wide.
I dont think width has much to do with it.
It feels weird doubting PL's geometry, but seriously how many far left orbit shots has he done...like 1? 
NGG is the only one that jumps out at me, and that's big and maybe the smoothest orbit ever.
EDIT: + Funhouse
