Whirlwind
Williams, 1990I’m interested in the kinetic pinball shots that just feel ‘right’ to you. When you hit them they give you a feeling of satisfaction.
I’ll start with a few:
Firepower - Left lock chip from left flipper. Top ball lock from right flipper.
AFM - Loop to light ball lock, when the ball returns to right flipper, shoot firmly to lock.
TZ - There are a quite a few. For me ‘Fast Lock’ on the first try. Of course if you keep missing you get all the call outs to great Lawlor games:
Your turn.
ramp shot on TOTAN to collect a jewel
Subway ramp on Ghostbusters prem/le. Not a difficult shot but you still have to hit it solidly up one of the steeper ramps in pinball, takes a right turn and travels on subway tracks over the "city," goes down under the playfield like a subway going underground, then pops back up in your inlane. Wicked shot.
Richard & Mortimer portal shot is a neat one, too. A long shot at the top right, travels along the back, gets to the garage and "teleports" down to your left inlane. Clever.
- getting 4 balls in the hyperloop in Star Wars
- Iron Man kickback
- Any lit spinner on a solid state game
Quoted from mrossman5:Multiple shots consecutively on the warp ramp in Star Trek.
This . Getting 3 warps in a row ( my best ) is an amazing feeling ! How many have you guys gotten ? Anyone hit 4 or 5 consecutively ?
Quoted from Crispin:Volcano ramp through the pops, NGG hole in one and Deadpool's Snikt!
Good choices. +1 NGG ‘hole in one’ shot up the skip ramp. That shot is so steep.
3 way combo on Whirlwind. Right flipper through the pops, around the orbit, upper flipper through upper loop, upper flipper to left ramp. Oh and the air raid siren that goes with it.
Best feeling...
Completing Final Frontier on STTNG
Leaning down to aim for cannons on Battle Simulation on STTNG

Battling Iron Monger on Iron Man
Hitting combo ramp shots on Jurassic Park
Reminds me of a great song...
Quoted from BigT:Super jackpot on TAF
Raul Julia really captured the excitement on that one! I love that jackpot too.
* Combo skill shots on the new Jurassic Park premium feels pretty good followed by that single shot to the smart missile...man, Keith really did an amazing job on this game.
* Getting multiple balls in the hyperloop on Star Wars also is great but I'll admit, just hitting that right ramp to start the hyperspace hurry up and then immediately slamming it straight up and into that death Star ramp for a spin feels pretty damn good 
* Sure, sometimes so simple, other times evading you like an impossibility, hitting those in line drop targets on the left to start Grave multiball on Metallica always makes me feel good... gives you those few seconds afterwards to watch the screenplay and makes you feel like you know what the hell you're doing and then a few seconds later you get to jam out to more Metallica with the light show for that mb...always satisfying.
* Hitting center drop targets when that dude is doing that stupid Elvis dance to throw cans and tomatoes at him on the Judge Dredd is pretty freaking fun and satisfying, haha.
* Spelling B-I-G and then getting the last of those far left drop targets on the Big Brave to get that special light on always feels great to me too.
* Getting that last card that has been evading you the whole game on Hit the Deck, haha...
The Shadow

Making consecutive shots on shadow loops to light the extra ball.

LOR - final Ring shot in wizard mode
DP - Katana ramp, and (on purpose) Snikt!
Bad Cats - 5 straight L orbits on ball 3 for the Bonus collect
Quoted from onemoresean:The Shadow
Completing the final battle
You lost me on "completing" the final battle. I've gotten to final quite a few times but just a target or 2 to finish 
Bally Solid state games:
SBM- ripping the horseshoe from the left flipper and then catching with the right flipper. Nail it again with the right flipper and catch with the left. Repeat again and again.
Xenon- Rip the tube shot with the right flipper.
FG- pretty much anything that doesn't cause a drain.
Paragon & Centaur- completing the inline drops- really tough
Flash Gordon: Ripping through a lit spinner in 5x playfield multiplier to the shooter lane for bonus collect.
Hitting the Queens Chamber in Centaur
That final valley of demons shot in Paragon
Everytime I trap a mermaid in Fathom
Quoted from truemagoo102:Best shot hands down is the satisfying "clink" when you nail the mini left flipper piano shot in TZ. 2nd place has already been mentioned, the WH20 jackpot shot, especially with the glass tap.
Agreed the “clink” as I’m playing TZ now
