'Fake' lightning flippers?

[David_Vi]

Got some lightning flippers to put on dogball (WCS).

But they don't appear noticeably smaller. If anything around 1mm, but that's a push.
They're supposed to be 3mm smaller than standard flippers so I'm having a hard time believing these are really lightning flippers.

I didn't buy these, they were given to me to use as they were taken off a game that shouldn't have lightning flippers.

Who was selling flippers with a lightning bolt on them that aren't actually what you'd expect?

If anyone has a spare pair of white lightning bats I can borrow for a month I'd be happy !

I reckon this may be the cause of the fake lightning flippers on that whitewater. Best of pinball have these listed as being from white water and popeye

That's so weird!

But as you know it's been solved. The "normal" flippers on dogball were actually shorter as well, I checked against a spare new std flipper bat and they're different!
I guess the "standard" ones are either dodgy or shrunk

Did you put them on the wrong wash setting?

Considering the state of em I doubt it, must be originals or a weird repro.

Looks like youre not the only person to have come across them, dont think it provides an answer to where they came from though.

I saw that when I looked it up, these have the Williams W on them though. I think they're legit just our originals had shrunk!

Here's the "standard" bats from dogball next to a new one

They were always shorter

I have some standard with the lightning on they have an X rather than a W
