In addition to checking the coil stops, check the coil sleeves also. Dirty coil sleeves can rob power from a flipper, so replacing them occasionally is a good idea as part of general maintenance.

If it’s not the coil stop, move the flipper rapidly with your hand and do the same on another flipper to compare how they feel. If one feels like it has more resistance then it might need an adjustment.
