It’s your game do what you want.

I don't. Everyone has had that killer ball that seems to last forever. Besides I think it just makes it more challenging when you have a bad first ball.
Quoted from DeadFlip:Religiously.
Of course!

No way I can afford to do that . That would be like paying 3 dollars a game or in my case 6 dollars per minute .
Quoted from skquinn:On location recently: a fellow competitor and I found a (Stern) TMNT with a two player game, with ball 1 of player 1 having already been played/plunged. He takes player 2, I take player 1. I put up a new grand champion score with only two balls in play.
Crossing my fingers it wasn't the TMNT @ Einstein's in Richmond

Restarts are common in my gameroom. Especially when it comes to WOZ.

So many times I've had an awesome ball 1. Then drain drain drain. (Yep extra ball too). And I've put some of my best scores ever up on a great ball 3 run with bad first couple balls. I do not restart. Sometimes if it's a really bad game though I will just practice a specific shot or try a different strategy than i usually do.

I wish it was. This was after (an attempt at) a tournament at Speedy's on Hempstead Road.
I look forward to eventually putting up a GC on TMNT at EinStein's in Richmond though. Great collection, but it's a bit of a drive.
Never...but definitely get discouraged when ball 1 drains quick. Every ball counts is my motto - always time for a comeback!!!
Quoted from idealjoker:Here's an example of a really excellent game beginning with a disastrous ball 1 and a mediocre ball 2. It felt very satisfying kicking the machine's butt after those first two balls...
I had a Deadpool game, 25 Million after 2 balls, final score 2.4 Billion.

Yeah, but imagine how much higher your score would’ve been if you had started over after ball 2?

I say that because I have/had grand champion on it. Not a monster score, only like 33.5 million, but a gentleman that goes by "SPC WES" has been destroying high scores there so I don't have grand champ on as many machines anymore. I need to get back over there.
Hey there! Got a moment?
