So, last weekend was the first time in several years I played a TAF other than my own, and I was struck by something... the swamp kickout on the other machine was much more "gentle" than mine-- and I don't mean that in a bad way.

On my machine, the swamp kickout sends the ball out fast, and if you aren't holding the right flipper in the up position, it will go SDTM every time. I've played with it in the past to try to change the angle a bit to no avail. The coil in mine is AE-23-800, which is what the manual calls for. I'm wondering if I should go with a slightly weaker coil, and if so, what one?

Same internal parts ( plunger ) Brackets lined up the same, hitting the same spot on the ball ?

23-1000 or 23-1200 would be weaker. 23 is wire gauge, 800 is how many turns. More turns, weaker coil.

Thanks Lloyd. Yes, everything is lined up the same. “More turns weaker coil” is what I needed
