I cradle but I can't seem to teach anyone else to do so. Especially when non-pinheads come over -- they hit both flippers at the same time and you can't teach them to use one at a time. You can tell them all you want, but in the end you just have to sit back and let them learn themselves.

I knew that there would be jokes to be had with this, but I figured that pinheads were accustomed to the "ball" jokes for the most part and would just ignore the perverted undertones. I was wrong.

This.
I kinda get ticked off when I get a game like the Road Show I used to own. Those coil stops are massive, almost preventing cradling because the flippers don't make a sharp enough angle. The Klondike EM I just picked is the same way. Oh well. I guess it creates more of a challenge because I've become so used to cradling.
