Might want to rebuild all the flipper wear parts on your MMr. 2000 plays really isn't that much for a set of flippers, yet it would be the first thing I would try. I have around 21,000 plays on my MMr and it is on its 4th flipper rebuild. Flippers seem just as strong to me at default settings as they are on both AFMr and MBr, both of which have under 10,000 plays. My MMr is a very early 2015 build. I remember making some physical flipper adjustments right after I bought it NIB because there was some slight binding. No flipper troubles since.
