1956PINHEAD any plans to produce holographic pros in a mini flipper size? I really want to try them, but all the pins I want to try them on have a mini and I am too OCD to not have the flippers match.

Quoted from Hammer3246:Nice!
Now for the other sizes, I can't leave Maiden with a stock upper left flipper (need gold).
Another point I would like to make other than aesthetics for mini flippers, that sarcophagus loop shot on Maiden drives me nuts, I would love something that helps me make it more consistently.
Just ordered some red Halos for AC/DC. Cannot wait to try them out.
Quoted from Haymaker:Defintely not me, I'm much younger than those 2 gents lol but it looks like we're all in agreement that they were awesome!
Think he was saying those two guys agreed with you, not that it was you.

Quoted from punkin:Turned the flippers down from 255 to 240 during testing after getting....
you won't believe this.....
an airball over the flipper.
[quoted image]
Admittedly it was two balls colliding and had fuck all to do with the flipper height, but still, what's the chances?
Lo lol…..Dance with the devil

I was finally able to get some time to spend with my pins. Here are some more color combinations to see if anyone likes. Iron Maiden was supposed to have yellow titans but somehow I selected red. Love the black on the red for AC/DC.
Also, shout out to John for the outstanding customer service. I forgot to include something in my basket while ordering and he caught the mistake and included the forgotten item.
Now off to see if I can make some sarcophagus shots on maiden with better consistency!

I just matched some low bounce titans on with some halos.. just wow. I am hitting the left ramp on Godzilla almost at will. Great control.
Quoted from 1956PINHEAD:OSUBuckeye98 Great looking machines, good work on the color matching. Happy to help you and others out anyway I can.
Thank you for posting the photos. I know I keep asking, but for those who haven't yet posted their game photos please do so as it will help others when trying to decide which color flipper bats they want.
BTW, Thanks to everyone who taken advantage of the holiday sale, it's over tomorrow so last call everyone!
Lethal_Inc ..for sure put them in Maiden.
Quoted from 1956PINHEAD:Lethal_Inc Perhaps Iron Maiden would be a good game to try them out on. You will notice the difference as others have stated, it really is a game changer, and that's just not a slogan, it's for real.
It will take you a few games to adjust to them, but once you adjust your shot timing you'll be dialed in and impressed.

purbeast love the gold on mine if you are looking for additional options
Quoted from purbeast:Anyone have the metal/silver halo's installed on Godzilla? I'm curious how it looks. Seems like it could go good with the mecha theme.

I think the bat just “fit” tighter when aligned differently, I know it shouldn’t. It now stays in place, before the flipper would work its way forward gradually as I played a game.
1956PINHEAD John, I want tie dye just in case I ever get an Austin Powers
@ PinHead50 The answer to that is Yes. Both Purple and Green for the HALO's will be coming into the line-up for 2023
This is the exact reason I think they are awesome! I am a not good, non tournament player!
Quoted from Fishman54:I have a lot of game time on these flippers given my closest location has a bunch of stern LEs with these flippers. I am a tournament player and a collector myself so this is from the player / owner perspective.
The flippers are snappy and definitely shoot faster then a stern factory flipper. The major thing that bothers me about these flippers is how much it changes gameplay. It is much easier to drop cash / live catch with those flippers. The dead bounces and softer and allow for more ball control. The largest drawback with these flippers is they train bad habits. What I mean is that you can hits shots with these flippers that you can never make on any other game. Example … right ramp on Godzilla is makeable with ease from the upper left flipper. Rush you can backhand the right ramp consistently. As a tournament player this will train your brain on bad habits and bad tendencies.
For the home use I think this is a great product that can actually help the beginning player learn to how to control the ball and play with more control
That’s really odd, I don’t think I’ve used the removal tool once on any of the flippers..
Quoted from DiabloRush:I've had the opposite experience. I installed about a half-dozen of the original sets, and they're super-tight. I have to use the removal tool everytime. I've not had a single flipper come loose in over 5 months of pretty heavy usage on a half-dozen games.

Not the worst mistake, I would like to compare the solids vs the halos at some point.
Quoted from Ollulanus:Yeah, already seeing about swapping the golds I ordered for Zep, but think I'm gonna keep the solid purples just to have a set of solids to try on games. Would be sharp if I ever get around to picking up the Alice Cooper I've been wanting too...

I’m waiting on my FFLE, hopefully 2 weeks. I thought a long long time about ordering pulp fiction, but I’m holding out hope CGC will say something about another run of MMr.

John, any chance you will be doing gold in the future? I would like to put a full set in my FFLE.
Quoted from 1956PINHEAD:The feeling I have on Venom is, I'll pass. Just can't get into it, I also think I'm not alone in that feeling.
The 2-1/8" mini's (both HALO's and standards) are off the machine, they are going to anodizing end of the week. I'm doing them green and blue, and will also have silver.

Quoted from phishrace:Wow, you're claiming it improves accuracy and drastically reduces flipper fade? How on earth would new flipper hardware, without replacing coils, reduce flipper fade? Improper coil choice and software settings affect flipper fade. Not the rest of the hardware. Much was written about the flipper fade on LOTR 20 years ago. They fixed it and it hasn't been a significant issue since.
I have a Rush and Foo Fighters that beg to differ with you on flipper fade…

2 1/4 mini flipper and extended shaft. John said you do not need a bushing. I just ordered a set for my TBL.
Quoted from JimB:What are the upper playfield flipper parts you need to add onto the order for Lebowski? I only see an option for a two flipper kit no 3 kits.
