These same people say to do something different!

Kill the fan layout!

Make the balls out of cheddar!

Lol

I guess bashing on Houdini after you played 1 ball on it at a show on crooked concrete with 95v fluctuating power and beta code is important for some...

Houdini is amazing, fun and very playable. It gets more play than any other game in my small collection.

People look forward to coming over just to play it.

My game plays really smooth.

So bash away! It makes me chuckle.

API and team have performed a miracle of speed and design.

@barryj and @rosh have been unbelievably helpful and attentive.
They approach pinball with professionalism, passion and humor.

API is fortunate to have them.

Houdini is truly a classic and stands on its own.

Love it or hate it, it's a great game.

But unfortunately, sometimes thats the way its done...

Thats how API recommends the setup.

6.0 to 6.2 degres.
Im at about 6.1 right now.

I had mine setup pretty high initially but, after a few hundred plays have lowered it and lowered the flipper power.
Im pretty happy with it at 6.1-6.2

Fewer airballs off the standups and fewer stage rejects.
Game play is less affected than one would think. Its not slower.

AFM bricks so many shots its not even funny.
Mine has the shortest ball times in my collection! lol

And yet, I keep coming back for more. Its pinball!

Please dont feel left out.

There is a webcaster who played 1 ball and didnt finish it, and STILL DID A REVIEW! Lol.

Evidently you dont even have to play, or even see a Houdini in order to bash it.

LOL !!!

Good times!

I elongated the hole in the mounting brackets of the C target and second E target to move them each outwards from the lane about 3/16" each.

Widening the inner loop lane 3/8"

Now the lane is wider than a lot of games.

None of the other lanes need adjusting, they are easy to make.

This has substantially changed gameplay for the better!

My game flows like butter!

It's too bad the game you played wasn't setup properly.

I can make the milk can shot 19 of 20 times in a row with little difficulty on my game.

People who have never played pinball before have no trouble making the shot on my game.

Sorry you haven't played a properly setup game, that sucks.

You are welcome to come play my game!

I'll have to up my one handed game lol!

But seriously, once the game is dialed In, and remember, I do have my flippers drooped 1/8", it's a pretty consistant shot and fun to do!

So, there...I cheated? Lol

Way more consistant than the scoop ejects bouncing around.

I haven't had to bend the flatrail on my game yet. Drooping the flippers solved it nicely.

But you never know...lol

However its similar to the crystal ball shot on WOZ. I had to rework the flatrail, and grind the pop bumper ring flat as it rubs, on that to get it consistant.

Same story, endless rejects for no reason.

I wish you could come play mine.
