- Flipcommons AI Descriptions (GameplayFeature)A small metal plate, roughly one inch by one and a half inches, mounted on the playfield so that it spins about its center along a horizontal axis when struck by the ball. The spinning motion provides immediate visual feedback — the target whirls in place after each hit — and registers a score through a switch triggered by the rotation. Spinning targets first appeared on [[manufacturer:gottlieb]]'s *[[title:swing-along]]* (1963) and were cataloged on over 670 IPDB machines, making them one of the more widely used target types across the [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] era. They are closely related to [[gameplay-feature:rollunders]], which use a similar overhead mechanism.
