Quoted from Astropin:

Weird....mine worked right out the box....if I hit it solid enough it registers every time (with either flipper).

Me too. I'm seeing like 90%+ hit rate.

Quoted from sk8ball:

Ok, quick easy fix. Stuck a piece of adhesive felt pad on top of the rubber black pad. Now working 100 percent!

Nice simple idea. Seems like it would be a bit more tolerant of off-axis hits.

4 screws, and 4 fiddly spacers. You might have better access for your fingers by removing the upper playfield too.

ardarvin, you'd achieve a similar, but much less clunky result with Pinballmike's solution back in the original post of this thread. Effective, 100% removable w/no trace.

You can use just about ANYTHING where Mike used a junk flipper return spring bracket. I used a section of semi-rigid plastic tubing with a couple holes drilled thru. I did not try any lubricants as others have reported - I want to avoid gunking things up over time.

It will be very interesting to see the hit rates folks will see with the battering ram mod!
