It's really good but it has to be set up properly. That includes installing the Precision Pinball flippers and bushings. (<<<---not getting paid to say that...just installed mine and you can see my review here https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/review-precision-pinball-products-cnc-flipper-system/page/15#post-7119140)

It was honestly getting a little long in the tooth for me but now it shoots like it should have from the beginning with the new flippers installed. Not a good tournament game or on location due to the amount of tweaking and care, but a must have in cared for home environment. You have to be able to hear and see it.

I can understand not everyone liking it and I wouldn't recommend it it a one pin home or very small collection unless you are a die hard fan. I have a growing collection with 6 so far and it's a no brainer keeper

Say goodbye to weak inaccurate flippers - Default settings on coils

As far as the slings, bump up the power, offset by a couple points to prevent sling ping pong

I'm on the road and will be back next week...I'll try to rig up something

Please excuse the vid. I don't have a rig so literally clamped my phone to the backbox and flipped and rotated the image in a video editor so the quality is a little lacking

Also, excuse the play style, I didn't dare nudge for fear of jostling the clamps free and the entire apparatus crashing down on the playfield glass.

Hope this give an idea of the flipper action

The coils are on default, but the flippers do also have the Pinmonk fans installed.

My strategy is to try and stack the Song value multiballs very quickly. The easiest shot is to get the Pyro target going to start that multi session, followed up with repeated shots to the upper deck to the lights target to get that multi going as well..The reason for that order is that the left ramp can be a brutal SDTM but with the pyro multi going, you can repeatedly blast away at the ramp in hopes of triggering the other one as well with minimal risk during the ballsave. The other 2 multis then come either by chance / shot placement or watching the rollovers.

It looks like flailing at times, but you have to abandon normal pin strategy and realize you are trying to load up your ammunition via multi's and spray and pray the targets down versus trap and shoot style of most other pins. Drains come hot and heavy but they are part of the strategy, sometimes even thinning out the heard through draining to clear the shot paths.

It is a welcome change to my other pins shot wise and strategy but I can totally understand why it would have a tough stay in a 1 pin lineup and see your point from casual observation. The subtle nuance of strategy only comes after many many games and breaking free of the typical pinball mindset. I really applaud them for what they tried to accomplish here but the code still needs improvement. and minor balancing

Truth

Yes, the PYRO target is basically hidden, so when you shoot that area, most of the time, you don't even know or can see what shot of the qualifier you're on. As well as the Lights target way in back up top. To someone walking up for the first time, since the shots aren't particularly difficult to make, you do hit those targets rather quickly and I can see how it would give the impression of spamming you with multiballs for little time spent.
