Quoted from Snailman:bmlors
It makes me want to have a go at playing some Hobbit just to experience the nuanced rules, even though I'm not a big fan of how the game physically shoots.
You probably played one that wasn't set to a steep enough pitch of 7.2 degrees and have flipper strength set to compensate. This was the typical setup and why it played floaty and overall bad. It's a shame so many people had this experience.
