I was down in the game room moving pins around in preparation for one leaving and decided to actually PLAY a couple of them. I still for the life of me can't get in the groove on Frankenstein. I can't find the sweet spot for hitting any of the shots and the draining is insane! It feels like there is only 1/2 of the available play-field since the top and top left are all blocked off with crap that I can rarely get to. I've never been this frustrated with a pin before, I'm taking it as a challenge to get better but really, this thing is pissing me off.

Does someone out there find this pin easy?
 
I don't find it easy at all and think it's probably the toughest pin I have.

And even though I've improved since I first got the game, the improvement has been minimal. (I still love it, though.)
 
Easy? Parts of it aren't tough; it's not hard to get the Geneva multiball, but it's definitely hard to get many of the "Creature" letters...

Even though I've put up several 5 billion plus scores on mine, I still have days where I can't hit that ramp shot for the life of me. I find that just not playing it for a while seems to make a big difference; some of my best games on it have been after not playing it for an extended period of time...

Definitely want strong, snappy flippers - the hole up the middle and ramp openings are small enough that you need consistent flipper power on your shots to nail them reliably...

Try reducing the angle if it's draining like mad; there's a sweet spot for many games that isn't necessarily the 'factory' angle...

Otherwise, the best of the big DMD games in my opinion, although I've not played Batman Forever enough to have a solid opinion of it..
