What causes this? The flippers feel strong when playing and can easily fire the ball to the back of the playfield, but when I try to catch the ball it springs it back up like a trampoline then goes SDTM. How do I get rid of this ‟springiness?” Is this a common issue? The game is a 1975 Williams.

Quoted from agodfrey:

I was just planning on rebuilding the whole thing and upgrading to the WPC style setup like Vid has in his flipper thread.

I thought about doing this as well. I was trying to avoid that option (although it's always fun to get in there and tinker around). I suppose I'll have to go with this option.
