i have always questioned what the pitch of this game should be. i hear this complaint alot. went as far as using power ball on mine to improve game play.

Quoted from Pinmeister:I had the same problem with mine and it requires three fixes. First, you need to adjust the EOS switch. If that doesn't fix it you need to replace the upper flipper coil with the strongest coil possible. (I sold the game so I can't look at it for you but I think it had a green wrapper and was for an EM machine.) If those two fixes don't work, you will need to rebuild the flipper using the older style, non-linear flipper. The parts can be purchased from Pinball Resource.
do you have a link for the older style non-linear flippers you talk about
Quoted from Ripcord:What's a "power ball"? The ball from Twilight Zone? Seems like that'd be lighter and wouldn't play as well, how does it help?
I get the feeling this game - where I can hardly make it up ramps, can't get to the atom smasher for multiball, etc, even though I have it at like a negative 5% pitch - is probably only 1/3 as fun as it could be. So if there are drop-in ball replacements that'd help, that'd be great =)
Edit: Holy crap those ceramic ones are expensive
my pitch is around 5 also, check everything out like everyone says and if it ok you might like trying powerballs or sometimes called navi balls. pinball life has the cheapest, they are lighter and make loading the smasher and knocking out balls in front easier. also get more action in the pop bumpers. i bought one just to try, liked it so i bought the rest. they are pricey but i plan on keeping the machine.
