Quoted from PanzerKraken:I understand the not needing to go nuts, it just seems like with those foam padded movers that I got little nudging ability. Even on newer lighter machines, it's like slapping the machine for a slap nudge does almost nothing and I really got to go in hard to get any nudge to have any ability to affect the game. So wondering if need something that would give the machine a bit more give as it feels like I'm hitting hard and not seeing any results. You watch the nudging vids online of folks doing them and they seem so effortless at how easily they move the machines around.
Nudging, again, isn't moving the game's feet. That is sliding. My games all have rubber feet on the front 2 legs and I nudge and slap the crap out of them. Perhaps you are waiting too late to nudge and that is why you are losing balls? You can and should get physical with the game all over. Not just at the flipper button area. You can slap a game on the side of the cabinet farther up to get a ball off of a rail and avoid the slingshot, etc.
