Well I am wondering what strength Shooter Spring everyone is using in their TOTAN?
With a regular spring it doesn't seem to have enough power to get the third basket.
I went with a higher power spring but it popped my custom shooter knob right off after a while.
Just though others might have some suggestions.
Thanks

Manual calls for the blue. No custom shooter rod on mine, so never had that problem.

same here, same spring that was in the game when I got it. but I do see his point about making it into the third basket. that's why they call it a skill shot.lol

I've used the blue and depending on the pitch, it sometimes won't make it to the top basket. I like my machines steep and fast so I experimented for a few hours when I got my TOTAN. I ended up with the red spring and saw that some of HEP's machines have red springs in his too.

I'd try a red and see what you think. I also experimented with adding a washer or pulling one. Ended up with no extra washers and red spring. For mine and the pitch, this was about perfect. Original shooter rod.

I used the red spring and it popped my custom shooter knob right off after about 50 or so games. It worked great while it lasted.
Guess I just need to try fastening the knob on better.

Wow! Interesting! Yeah I'd try that. The red is strong but wow!

Do you have an E clip on the rod or just an original bent clip?
