if you press very lightly when the flipper is resting, is goes all the way up with full force. I find it impossible to make a weak shot, e.g. to perform a tap pass
post pass is ok, because if you hold the flipper in the up position, you are able to slightly release it and press again. here the timing is good.
don't know about drop catches - I suck too much to have experienced any

Is it just me or are you guys experiencing the same?
hope this gets improved somehow.
