    Quoted from Yoko2una:

    Problem is the “king of flow” (and speed) would be going to a company with soft flippers. ST and SM are flow beasts. BKSOR is empty but lightning fast.
    Meanwhile I’ve played 4 different JJP’s in the past few months and thought they all were soft flipping games. Most recently was a NIB GnR and none of the shots feel that great (ramps especially).
    If SR went to JJP, he’d need a full BoM and something better than wet noodles to feed the shots.

    Tell the ops to crank up the coil power. A JJP only flips soft if it's setup poorly, or intentionally cause the owner doesn't want the extra wear and tear.

    Quoted from metallik:

    All this does is make them flip harder for 10 minutes, then they turn into even wetter noodles. Their whole flipper system needs re-done.

    I have never experienced this playing my WoZ or DI for hour long play sessions. On my STERN LOTR this happens all the time though.

    I'm not saying you've never experienced it yourself but the flipper system JJP uses is identical to a Bally Williams mech so I'm not sure what is supposed to be improved on it. Unless we're now saying that classic design is flawed and responsible for all those weak flipping Bally Williams games?
