## Analysis

Spooky Pinball technical support video providing coil settings guidance for trough issues across their games. Covers trough eject adjustment procedures for Tee'd Off and Barnyard, recommending lower power settings (20-21 range) to improve ball feeding into lanes rather than bouncing back or overshooting.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Trough issues typically manifest as either ball bouncing back down or shooting up too hard and not staying up — _Spooky Pinball technical support video, operational guidance_
- [HIGH] For Tee'd Off, reducing trough eject power to 20-21 range (from default) improves smooth transition into lanes — _Spooky Pinball technical support, specific game recommendation_
- [HIGH] Spooky games have two separate trough eject coils: trough eject main (under apron) and trough eject portal (second trough up) — _Spooky Pinball technical documentation, coil settings menu structure_
- [HIGH] Weaker power on trough eject actually helps smoother transition into lanes rather than higher power — _Spooky Pinball technical support, operational principle_

## Transcript

Another real quick one here, if you're having a trough issue, as in your trough is either feeding into the lane and bouncing back down, or it's just shooting up too hard and not staying up, a lot of times it fails to get the ball up there and you would think that would actually be hitting not hard enough, but the weaker power actually helps it smoother transition into the lane. So all that is, if you go into the coil settings, the settings and then the coil settings, and you scroll all the way down to the bottom, there's the trough eject main which is for the trough that's under the apron and then you have the trough eject portal which is for the second trough up by the up by the blue crystals and I like, oh right now they're on 25. I actually like to bring those down to about 20, 21, somewhere in there and it tends to actually make the shot a lot smoother into the shooter lane and into the left inlane over there. So if you're struggling with that odds are you're gonna go for the power downwards not up.
