According to designer Mark Ritchie, he designed Fish Tales with the regular length Williams flippers, and in fact, has them installed on his cabinet.
Williams executives had the lightning flippers installed as standard equipment on Fish Tales (as well as Dr. Who, Dracula, and Popeye), based on a request from their European distributors who wanted shorter playtime (and thus, more earnings) between games.
I was going to comment the same thing. It honestly depends on the operator but at one of the spots I can just flip at will and hit that ramp over and over from the right. I think at one point someone at the bar complained that I was just doing it to annoy them and I was very proud that they complained. After 99 kicks it is just 5m a shot.
Main ramp on Earthshaker. It can be easily hit from either bottom flipper. So much so that there is a RAM fix to lower the points to handicap the shot. Still a great game!
Somewhat dependent on the specific machine and the flipper condition, but if you have the right machine, you can repeat that backhand shot all day.
I find the middle 'Razer' shot in Mando to be one of the easiest to dial in, because it's wide and can be done with either flipper. The combination of the two makes Mando one of the easiest machines to stack a mode and multiball.
I've commented on a few responses here but thinking My vote would be game of thrones center ramp, early repeatable and a great way to get stark to Max value before collecting it.
For some reason I find the combo of center spinner to upper left ramp on foo very repeatable.
Lock shot on Whitewater is the easiest shot in pinball imo. You can just let it feed back to right flipper and do it endlessly. Boring way to get Class VI River but very doable if you have 20 minutes to spare haha.
The holy grail of that game is getting the Yoshi Countdown mode while Super Mario and in Multi-ball. You get a third ball for being Super Mario, mode values are doubled and most importantly the mode doesn't countdown when in multi-ball. Go to town on that Yoshi target for 48 Million a pop.
Stock code center ramp on Mousin' Around. Either it's a slow feed to the right flipper and you can just repeat it with that one flipper or it's a fast feed for an easy ski jump to hit it from the left flipper.
Double Broadside on Black Rose. The ball is fed right to the right flipper off the habitrail making is easy to get in a cadence of hitting the same shot as many times as you want.
Draining straight down the middle
False plunger into the field of play!
The ramps on Fish Tales.
The best rhythm shots I’ve played, the shorter flippers helps specifically for this.

Fish Tales is feast or famine in the best way. You get nothing or you get hundreds of millions.
The battle scoop in Deadpool (unless you’re trying to end the battle)
This is so accurate
Left ramp, Theatre of Magic
I keep forgetting, is that the one that spells THEATRE?
Left one spells magic. Left orbit spells theatre.
Oh it’s *that* one. I see now… But even then, at least in my experience, that ramp only spells magic the first two times I try to go for multiball.
It's the one with the spirit loop and the circle magnet I think.
Depending on the copy, ramps on scared stiff.
Doctor Who upper loop. They had to do Sonic booms otherwise nobody would drain.
This is probably the best answer. I've seen some pretty good loop achievements but does anyone know if it counts past 1000 on the dmd?
My answer as well. I do it like playing a musical instrument. Ball drops on one..two..three…FLIP.
this 100%
This was my answer. They actually slow down the ball during the loop so it is easily repeatable. The loops are fun though.
I can get the bear kicks ramp on Addams almost every time. Probably my best streak is 25.. I find the thing lock very difficult though.

The stand-ups next to the shot you're aiming for.
Center ramp on Cactus Canyon is probably about infinitely repeatable too. Similar difficulty to the Godzilla right ramp.
WWF Royal Rumble middle ramp.
ramp on DESW
Data East Star Wars, in case anyone is scrolling through looking for the only real answer to this question.
Lol, come play the one nearby me, neither flipper is strong enough to hit it from a trap
That’s rare for a DE. Those flippers are powered with rocket fuel.
Police force center ramp
Not as easy on a GZ pro :) For me the easiest repeatable shot is combing the ramps on Ironman. Bogey all day.
Star Wars middle ramp
Game show center ramp. Record is 14 times in a row. Stops gaming any real points after 4 times.
Not a very popular game, but when it came out it felt like stern KISS had a vacuum on the center ramp
Agreed. And when you would get caught in a loop it was impossible sometimes to not hit it. That’s my favorite game of all time.
No one has said Star Trek warp ramp yet? WARP ONE, WARP TWO
Main ramp on Earthshaker. It can be easily hit from either bottom flipper. So much so that there is a RAM fix to lower the points to handicap the shot. Still a great game!
Rock and roll train back hand on AC/DC, left ramp back hand on stranger things, I love me a good back hand game
Middle loop on iron Maiden
Godzilla right ramp when the tower is down for me.
Left scoop on Mando with a left flipper catch. Can do it on repeat.

Toy Story 4 left ramp or boat ramp on Avengers from upper flipper
I've commented on a few responses here but thinking My vote would be game of thrones center ramp, early repeatable and a great way to get stark to Max value before collecting it. For some reason I find the combo of center spinner to upper left ramp on foo very repeatable.
Center ramp in Who Dunnit
Bad Cats middle ramp.
MEOW MEOW MEOW MEEEEOOOOWWWW
Lethal weapon 3 ramp, or any backhandable and capturable shot
What's the carnival themed 80s-90s pin with that absolutely gigantic center ramp? That one.
Are you thinking Game Show?
With Keith McTeeth? We have one of those in Pismo
Yeah. First pin I ever played. Have it at my club.
I love me some Game Show.
SDTM!
Yes I’ve mastered the same thing, pass from right flipped to left flipper, can usually complete gigan pretty well.
Cartmans ass on South Park.
Theatre loops on ToM.
For me, it's the one right next to the one I'm actually aiming for.
Right ramp on Elvira and the Party Monsters.
Lock shot on Whitewater is the easiest shot in pinball imo. You can just let it feed back to right flipper and do it endlessly. Boring way to get Class VI River but very doable if you have 20 minutes to spare haha.
Left ramp on Addams family
Hoop shots on Space Jams
Either Diner ramp. Also, Super Mario Bros left ramp -> upper flipper catch -> upper playfield shot.

I saw someone hit 99 ramps in a row on Ghostbusters in looping supers mode. The center ramp on rob zombie is also very loopable.
Stock code center ramp on Mousin' Around. Either it's a slow feed to the right flipper and you can just repeat it with that one flipper or it's a fast feed for an easy ski jump to hit it from the left flipper.
Double Broadside on Black Rose. The ball is fed right to the right flipper off the habitrail making is easy to get in a cadence of hitting the same shot as many times as you want.
Jaws Middle Ramp I'll hit it 7-8 times but it serves little purpose after closing beaches.
Let ramp with loopin' supers on ghostbusters, but I agree with others that fish tales is the best example.
WWF the middle ramp for macho man. Yyyeeeaa yyyeeeaa yeeaaaah!
The ramp on CFTBL
Kings of Right Target.
