Whirlind Question

[DRD]

I am treating mine to some new parts, and giving the game a general tune.

Can you normally make the right ramp with the right flipper please ?

On mine, it was about 50-50 before the flipper rebuild. After the rebuild, new bats, new rubber, it still is about 50-50

Thanks

I can .....but the backhand has to be spot on . So I'd say probably 50-50 also ......as I'm cr*p at least 50% of the time

That 50% I take it is when you've had a beer or two or maybe a few more.

Small changes in the right flipper's resting angle make all the difference here. Elevating the tip by about 2mm makes the shot much more consistent.

the Eos is key here. Make sure it is gapped right and doesn't open too soon robbing it of power

Coil stops play a significant role in the ability to backhand. I rebuilt the flippers on my Spiderman and the flippers were noticeably lower with the new plungers and coil stops. It was a real struggle to back hand the spinner and Doc Ock. Both of these shots should be easily back handleable on this game. I took the coil stops to work and milled 1.5mm off each one. The flippers now sit at a good angle and both shots are now much more consistent.
