Good slingshot coil strength setting for Modern Stern games?

Quoted from finnflash:
Would also like to know this, because my Stranger Things slings are so strong it shoots the ball to the outlane after a couple hits. I have lowered them, but still happens every once in a while.

Slings are supposed to make the game harder. I leave mine stock on all games. I turned STH down a bit when I first got it. Then bumped them back up.

Quoted from UCFKnight71:
Anyone have an answer to this? I feel like the factory default in my Deadpool Pro is too much, but I also don't want to make the game too easy.

Then change the setting and if it’s too easy, make them stronger. Everyone’s preferences are different. I prefer stock.

The balls do tend to shoot around really fast. I didn't know if the factory setting was safe for the playfield.

Perfectly safe.

I'm with you, I never did either except the trough coil is pretty aggressive and I wanted to dial it down from beating up the trough so much several people seemed to take it down to 150 or 185 on Godzilla

That's odd! How about under GZ Adj?

Feature adjustments. It’s the menus with a Godzilla picture on them.

IIRC, they are on a scale from 1-25. Both my TMNT and AIQ both fired the ball straight off the right sling into the left outlane with zero time to react.

For TMNT, a lot of users stuck a small rubber bumper on the outlane rail so it only tries to negate the angle from the sling. That has worked well so far. For AIQ, I’m still playing with the settings but I’m at 18 right now and haven’t felt the need to adjust yet. YMMV.

Before you make any adjustment to sling power, make sure your pitch is set to 6.5 degrees (measured between the flippers). Pitch absolutely affects how the slings work.
