So I have a regular pinball night with a mate of mine every week or so, the only down side is that he is fairly new to pinball and I will win 99% of the time (mainly because I own a pinball machine, play more often etc), any ideas on how to level the playing field a little?
It would be more fun for me to have more of a challenge too!
Cheers
Quoted from PopBumperPete:dont try as hard, he is your freind, not a foe to be vanquished
difficult to purposefully play worse! 
but thanks for making me laugh
Quoted from chippe01:Make it a 5 ball game and let your first two balls drain so he plays 5 balls and you play 3.
Sounds like a good idea, but rather than change the settings i could go 2 balls, he goes 3 (cue the ball jokes)
Quoted from GotAQuestion:I play with two friends regularly and I always crush their scores but it's not a tournament so nobody cares. They just keep trying to improve on their own best scores and I do the same.
I don't think you really need to hobble yourself.
I hear what you're saying, but we've been doing that for quite a while, so thought we could mix things up a bit
