Zipper flipper good or crap
Zipper flipper good or crap
I never try a real one, just on a virtual pin. Play like crap to much change in the angle of the flipper when in the close position. What you peoplekind think about zipper flipper? Serge

Re: Zipper flipper good or crap
Zipper flippers are interesting but I find them best used as secondary flippers, such as in Medusa. As stated, they modify gameplay a bit too much. Yet they remain an interesting feature. I owned a 4MBC years ago and I liked them. But yeah, once closed, sure, they saved your ball, but the angle made it impossible to aim a shot. It made gameplay quite random.

It's a neat, fun novelty feature and enjoy them fine but I wouldn't want one as my only pin.
