For the first time since I purchased my TZ in 1995, there is no dot next to "Free Play" on a consistent basis (last hurdle was adding some electrical tape to the minute hand on the clock so that it consistently breaks the optos) Wow!
Yesterday I installed some Stern tapered black post rubbers from Titan and the low bounce Titan flipper bands, and airballs are almost all under control now as well
Now some fine tuning questions for folks that have been enjoying and tweaking their machines much longer than me.
When I shoot the left spiral, the ball comes all the way around and back to the right flipper (as expected). However, when I shoot my right spiral, the ball bounces off the black post rubber holding the lower right corner of the mini PF. Is this expected behavior, or should the right spiral go the the lower left flipper as well?
Also, is there consensus on the best angle/position for the lower flippers? I have mine so that the front face of the flipper is perfectly aligned with the lane guides (slightly above the toothpick holes, but I'm using slim low bounce bands, which are slightly thinner than other bands). Shooting the right spiral from a trap is quite challenging right now, so I'm wondering if the flippers should be dropped a bit? Should the center line of the flipper be parallel to the lane guides?
I'll for sure fiddle with flipper position, but always easier to dial in starting with the consensus position
