The Walking Dead (Pro)
Stern, 2014Hey folks! Does anyone’s prison zombie head consistently register hits? I have bent the leaf every damn possible way and can’t seem to get better then a 80% registration rate. Players get super frustrated in tournaments. Just curious if anyone else has this issue consistently.

Did you get this fixed? If not, in addition to making the switch very sensitive, add some sticky Velcro (the soft side), to the arm at the base of the head. This effectively reduces the distance the arm needs to travel to contact the switch.
Then if you’re switch is really sensitive on top of that, you’ll get a much better success rate with walker head hits.

I'm not the OP, but want to say thanks I'm going to try this. Seems like a much better solution than the "tape a quarter to it" method I read about.
Thank you! I’ll give this a try! I wound up just leaving the doors on shut mode so I wouldn’t have any fairness issues during tourney play, but that makes the game way too easy! I’ll give this a try. You don’t happen to have a picture of this method do you? I think in have an understanding of what you’re saying but if you do that would be awesome.

No picture. You got this.
Quoted from PINQUEST:This worked like a charm. Thanks!!!
Oh good! I remember when i first did this. So refreshing to be confident that when you shoot the head it will register.
