Quoted from chuckwurt:Also, just noticed your part about the ball sitting at the top of the lane divider between the inlane and outlane. Use the same nudge technique here. If you are sitting on the right inlane/outlane divider and want the ball to go in the inlane, nudge from the left side not the right.
When the ball is stuck/resting, I have better luck nudging "opposite" of what I would nudge if the ball was in motion.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Interesting. What helped be immensely was when I realized that when you nudge, you are not moving the ball, you are moving the playfield underneath the ball. So. If the ball is at rest on top of say a lane divider and you push the machine from right to left, that will slide the playfield under the ball to the left leaving the ball in a spot to the right of where it was before.
From a rest position, I notice a "rocking"effect after nudging and the restoring motion of the machine (after the nudge) is more effective at moving the ball then the actual nudge.
Scenario: Ball is trapped on right side in/outlane divider. Nudge right to left (opposite of what you would do if it was in motion), the playfield moves under ball and shifts it toward the outlane slightly. As the machine restores/moves back to its initial position, the rocking effect dumps the ball in the inlane
