Quoted from neurokinetik:

Recently, I had a chance to play a nice Funhouse that had superbands on it. I noticed that I was completely unable to hit Rudy from the upper flipper on that game, despite everything seeming correct as far as flipper alignment and strength go. Every shot I attempted was late, and would hit the trapdoor instead.

Quoted from EricR:

I had the exact same problem on that Funhouse, it was very frustrating. I've never had that problem on another Funshouse.

This as absolutely false. I have Super Bands on my funhouse and I can hit Rudy constantly. Are you two sure your just not out of sync on the shot? I have SB on my Funhouse and Centaur and both don't play different enough for me to notice a real difference. I do agree that they help the control a bit, but they don't alter things enough in my opinion to worry about. The guys that are crying are the ones that play tournament and use tons of tricks. If your going to complain about the SB on Funhouse what about the fact that the ball when shot out of the cellar hole doesn't bounce off the right flipper and land on the left with SB on.

Ok, maybe I was a bit harsh with you guys. All I can say for sure, is the superbands did not affect the play on my Funhouse. I can make the shot easily. But, who knows, it could be a myriad of things that could have caused that and quite possibly the super bands also. I personally am just not seeing the huge difference people are complaining about, but I also am not a pro player.
