I've disabled my deadpost. Its either too slow to make the right flipper or too fast and hits the bottom of the left. I opened a ticket with Stern just in case but I'm not sure its anything wrong....but yeah I'd rather have consistent expectations of a ballsave than a dice roll.
Quoted from PantherCityPins:Then buy a pro. Seriously. By its nature the dead post isn’t going to save it EVERY time. It takes a little skill, some finesse and sometimes a little luck. That’s honestly why I prefer it over the regular ball save. I’ve gotten to where my dead post save is successful about 95% of the time but sometimes it still hits the left flipper and drains or doesn’t have enough juice to make it to the right flipper. Sometimes it just makes it to the tip of the right flipper and you have to do a little juggling. It’s amazing.
Haha OK I’ll return my premium and buy a pro wot m8?! I still love the upper playfield and 3-D sculpts. I’m just saying, the dead post isn’t reliable.
I was just emailing Jack Danger directly. He said most likely the ball is hitting the Dead post too low, so to adjust the apron like this.:
“… there should just be one nut on each side (you might only need to loosen the one on the post side but both might make it easier to move)
Push it forward and tighten back down.”
That man is a gentleman and a scholar so if you’re having the same issue, give that a shot!
*UPDATE* Totally fixed mine.
