This is the third forum on which I've stated my preference for FJ.
And as I was told elsewhere (probably by Erik), reduce the table angle a bit from default, and the backhand shot into the boiler becomes easier which really helps with scores.
We also had a question from past discussions, which we've never had answered. We wondered if FJ was a rushed implementation? It's so simple compared to the other tables, we just wondered if Cunning had to push it out the door. Now maybe we'll have chance to finally hear the answer.
I've never thought FJ was difficult compared to the other games, I don't understand where that impression comes from. BRUSA seemed the easiest I guess, but I've always been better at FJ than TS, probably because I've played it more. But I can't agree that because the physics are more realistic, or flipper sweet spots are different, that it's a more difficult game OOB.
