Oakland, CA
Hi pinsiders. I threw together a basic nudging skills video, which is based on my observations of some really good players in the local leagues.

I'd be interested to see your technique. Maybe you can make a vid?
The ball is relatively frictionless moving across an open area of the playfield, so I'm having trouble understanding how nudging when the ball is that far from the flippers would help. It would seem to me that the cabinet would already reset by the time the ball got near the drain.
Quoted from DrAzzy:*As an aside, most good players i've seen aren't animated while they play. I'm not animated either (unless you count a victory dance to the music TZ plays after entering high score >.> ), but then again, I'm not a good player. I did finish with the 3rd highest score at the local tourny last week though.... unfortunately, it was a pingolf tourny (and I'm talking about the tourny score, not a score on any game <.<
ha ha ha. When I have a bad competition game I say "too bad this isn't pin golf..."
The game in the video had a fairly loose tilt for a competition game, which is partly why I chose it. Super tight games only allow really modest nudging, so little that people watching the video might not be able to see it.
@nimble - Don't get defensive. It's not that I don't believe you but in my experience, nudging like that doesn't work for me. But if it works for you, I believe you and that's why I want to see it - to see what you're doing that I'm not. I always want to learn new things.
