Just joined the club with a smoking deal on an LE. Excited to learn more about this game! The death star doesn't stand a chance!

I'm noticing on my game that clean shots to either the right or left side of the horseshoe loop very very often in the ball coming down to the flippers so fast it rolls up and over the flippers. I'm talking twice a game here.
My leveling and pitch seem right, I've got a digital level coming tomorrow to confirm.
Previous owner put Superbands on it...could that be part of the problem? Any thoughts?

After leveling L/R and setting the pitch to 6.2 on the flippers, as well as switching from Perfect Play flipper rubbers to some Titans I had sitting around, I'm not getting nearly the up and overs I was getting before. Can't hit the Death Star as easily now, but that might have just been in my head the couple games I tried out.

This game is SOOOO frustrating but I can't stop hitting start again. Such a blast.

If the rumors of Mandolorian is true, I doubt they make any more of these

I added the extended post. Bought it here on pinside. No regrets. The game is so fast and the inner loops often return straight down the middle, so we still aren't blowing up the scores. We aren't competitive players, we just want to have fun playing. Making the outlane tighter makes it possible for us to get to some of the modes we wouldn't see othwise. I recommend it if you want to reduce some of the frustrating drains.

I've done this several times for sure.

Never on purpose though.

Yeah, I have hit the left orbit on the fly with the left flipper, a few times but never cradled and only when I'm flailing.

I have tried to left flipper the death star with the ramp ready and nah, no chance no way. If I hit it, it doesn't have the juice to make it all the way and will dribble down or behind the fork.

I'll try the hyperloop adjustment but I'm worried about messing up what's already working. When I hit the shot with the right flipper its great, few rejects that aren't a miss.

Are you able to share a picture of your flipper positions? I'm wondering if my flippers are resting a little low. I'm not the best player, but I can hit hittable shots *sometimes*. Backhanding the DS with the fork up is not hittable on my machine. It doesn't have the umph to get up and hold.

For those folks recently joining the club, check out this tutorial. It's on older code, but the basics hold true. Watching this helped me understand how to take advantage of multipliers without over thinking it, as well as how to add-a-ball during multiball.

There's a setting to adjust the power. You could raise it to try and get it to the left flipper, or reduce it to aim for the right.
You can also set a ball save, which will give you a ball if the scoop kills you. Doesn't activate during multiball but all other times it can save you.

Mine won't when coming down from the mission start, but if I rip a fast one into Hoth that thing is SDTM every single time.
Crazy how a guide shifting a millimeter results in the ball being savable or SDTM.

If you're on latest code, shooting the Hoth shot a few times should light it up and start it

Isn't that the piece that goes away when you install the scanner for Insider Connect?

I've got the OG art LE and very happy with the way it looks

Confirmed on my game as well. Test shows a ball less than there is.

I tried to do this with some electric rock guitar cover songs I found. This process is SUPER hard, I applaud your work. I'd totally install this if I didn't feel like a new update is coming any day now to support the Insider Connect and may add/fix things like they have done with some of the other games.
