Hi all. Joined the club on Friday when I took delivery of rbion. Bought it from Replay Foundation (still sad) so it was used at Pinburgh. They have removed the shooter rod and in the tourney there was a sign (still on my back glass) that said flippers launch ball. Any idea why they did this? Auto launch usually gets it around the loop to the top lanes. Totally eliminates the possibility of the Bozo skill shot. Is this what they were trying to prevent? Why?
