    You can measure using Tracker and overhead video.
    Here's an example shot on Dr. Who.

    Peak speed was 2.3 mph.

    Quoted from BlackRabbit:

    I'm surprised if this is true...

    See for yourself! Download this:
    https://www.cabrillo.edu/~dbrown/tracker/

    and feed it some fast-moving pinball action.

    Ask pinsiders to post fastest ball speeds to find the fastest game.

    What's the velocity of an unladen pinball? Depends if African or European...
