Starting a homebrew and need the absolute strongest flippers available. I have heard the newer Sterns have quite the velocity, but are they stronger than a new set of the strongest Williams flippers (middle to late 90's with the strongest coils)?
Thank you in advance for your input.

FL1-11629 Blue
Strongest Williams flipper coil. Use the mid to late 90’s mech too so you have the extension spring instead of the compression spring.

So it seems the late model Williams with strongest coil are regarded as being stronger than modern Sterns?

Da dun tiss
Tough crowd around here Mr. Jay. But I got a chuckle...

I have decided to go with the Williams because I like the feel of them, and FL1-11629 are what I will be using.
Thanks everyone for your input. A great resource this place is (after dodging the drama which I am used to since the RGP days 
Quoted from aeneas:Aren't capcoms flippers stronger than Williams ?
Is this true? If so, how do capcom games “feel” vs Williams games?
Quoted from yancy:Hercules flipper mechs with normal bats.
You think so? Hercules is very sluggish to play.
There isn't any competition as far as I'm concerned; Data East Robocop has the most stupidly overpowered flippers of any machine ever, even to this day.
Full Throttle's were no slouch either, the game was designed for speeed but we kept it just the right side of the line.

Put a 3" flipper bat on that mech and hit a standard ball.
