Quoted from Ollulanus:Several folks commented that the pics I posted earlier looked like the flippers we're too high - they are not. Guessing you haven't tried the halos - for some reason they really do look that way, first thing I noticed when putting them on. Some sorta optical illusion, lol.
It's not an optical illusion. Per the photos in post 1230 the Halo bats are an additional 5/32" off the playfield. : https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/review-precision-pinball-products-cnc-flipper-system/page/25#post-7226606
Quoted from mbeardsley:The overall height of the precision flipper seems wrong. Not only does it "float" above the playfield too high (compared to the plastic flipper), it also isn't as tall as the plastic flipper (even though it sits higher).
I would expect more balls hopping over the precision flipper,
The gap between glass and top of a flipper bat on The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends is 1.993". With the Halo bats 0.030" shorter overall thickness that would be 2.023".
Balls hopping over a flipper is pretty rare, at least on most games. If that's a concern on your games Halo bats may not be the best choice for you.
EDIT: Halo bats are only 1/32" shorter, not 1/4". Numbers corrected above.
