Quoted from arcademojo:

Here is a little tip for everyone complaining about System 3 flippers. This has been fairly common knowledge for at least the past 20 years but I'm sure a lot of the new crowd missed the memo.
Replace the coil stops with system 1 coil stops. This does several things to the flippers. It shortens the travel length to about the same as WPC games.
By shortening how far the flippers move it will:
A) eliminate the supper easy ball catch/cradling.
B) Decreases travel time of flippers both power and return strokes. Less time for flippers to move to complete a stroke gives it a more snapper response.
C) Gives it more power to make those super tall ramps.
