I’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.

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.

Quoted from PinNickleby:

Captain Fantastic - having 9k bonus and shooting the ball up one of the lanes to the top hitting 3 lit star rollovers which adds 3k bonus. Once at the top of the playfield, the ball rolls over one of the top stars lighting either the "A" or "B" (whichever one you didnt already have registered) and the ball drops down the lit lane giving another 3k bonus and tripping double bonus. This best shot is worth 21k + (depends on how much the ball bounces at the top hitting the stars or the top left rebound switch before dropping down the A or B lane). A very satisfying shot for an EM.

Well said. I played the Captain quite a lot in my local pool hall - which also had Wizard! and the early SS games (so you know when I grew up, as they were new games back then). Both fit together as a theme, are satisfying to play and have good shots to achieve. I forgot about those shots on Captain Fantastic and the Flip-Flops lane and ‘double bonus’ countdown on Wizard! - so thanks for your post. I always look for those two games at a Pinball show, hoping they are in nice condition.
