    Post #1230 Photos showing the gap between the playfield and the bottom of the flipper bats. Halo flipper bats sit 9/32" off the playfield, standard bats sit 4/32" (1/8"). Halo bats are stiffer and do not need the structural support provided by the ribbing in standar Posted by 1956PINHEAD (1 year ago)

    OP
    Quoted from DiabloRush:

    IMHO, the "too consistent" argument is 100% valid. That's a decision everyone needs to have for themselves. This system is noticeably more consistent than stock. I was accurate when I said I started looping shots on the PPP flippers that I couldn't consistently do before. Others (Joel) have reported the same thing. In his case, backhand shots opened up that weren't consistently available on the OEM setup.
    As my review states, I'm not a great player. Is this system too consistent? From my standpoint, that's a feature I'm happy with. But, I don't play tournament pinball; I pretty much enjoy tinkering, restoring and playing games in my own home. I also have a soft spot for well-engineered stuff. One reason I've enjoyed Radio Control as a hobby, too, along with watchmaking, shifter kart racing, and a few others. Some of the stuff in those Shifter Karts are a marvel to behold. So well made. I also love a well-engineered model kit. The pic, below, is the lovely Pocher 1/4 scale Ducati. Incredible kit, so fun to build. YMMV.

    Quoted from Anony:

    Does anyone know of a decent video that shows the process for changing flipper bats? I imagine it's not too hard but I've never done it myself so interested in exactly what needs to be done.

    You'll want to watch this video featuring Butch Peel.

    Does anyone have any feedback or pics on bat cosmetics after a couple hundred games on something fast like a TNA, GNR(multiball madness) or F-14 Tomcat. I'd like to see how the aluminum is holding up (aesthetically) against a steel ball striking it over time.
    I normally make my own mods for games or figure out fixes or improvements but this can't be made with a home 3d printer.ha.
    Do you offer a Military/Disabled Veteran discount or is anyone sponsoring you like Buffalo Pinball with a promo code?
    Thanks for the info.
    .....and purple.

    Quoted from ray-dude:

    I had an airball at the flippers that resulted in a pop fly off the top of the bat. Put a very minor ding in the bat, and I couldn't find any obvious damage on the balls. I slid the flipper rubbers up on all my Al bats to help protect the upper edge of the bats.

    Thank you.
    I'll be ordering at some point, was just curious.Maybe I'll 3d print a topper to take the fallout. I'm torn cause I really like the look of them just as they are. Very sharp looking.

    Quoted from awesome1:

    So far I have a couple hundred games on Godzilla with the "regular" Precision Flip aluminum flippers and maybe a hundred games on Deadpool with the Halographic Pros and I don't show any damage or wear on the flippers.

    Awesome! Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm really anxious to get these on some of my games over time. Fantastic looking and awesome addition to pinball. I'm buying them for aesthetic reasons. The play benefit is just a bonus for me.

    Quoted from Anony:

    Here's how I did it and it seemed to work well. That's a flipper spacer that most pinball shops sell.[quoted image]

    and if you have a 3d printer you can make one lickity splickity.

    From Southern California to my place, not anywhere near California, in 48 hours?
    What kind of wizardry is this?
    Customer service, by the way, is way above and beyond.
    Thank you. They look even better in person.
