Quoted from CrazyLevi:PLD don't do confusing 3rd flippers.
He does do useless fourth flippers though.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:Name one.
Addams. I know the left upper flipper has a shot but most experienced players know that it's too dangerous to go for that shot considering how little the shot is worth. If it was gone, I don't think anyone would know the difference. Most players just use it to guide the ball to the lower left flipper.
Quoted from Whysnow:super disagree.
The thing flipper does lots!
1. Cool thing trick to make swamp
2. Swamp is worth shooting for when valued high enough
3. Divert ball to lower flipper for control depending on specific game.
4. MOST important! Learn how to use this to combo to the upper right for a jackpot shot during multiball!
lol I read this in a whiny teenager voice.
Like I said there is a shot for the flipper but it's never worth enough to actually take the risk. That combo trick is another shot too dangerous to try. I mentioned number 3 as well but if you're using a flipper as a lane guide, you're using it wrong. Thing shot is cool but after seeing it once or twice it's nothing special and sometimes it can miss. Nothing more frustrating than draining and it wasn't the player's fault.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I use it all the time (I like going for the swamp - so sue me) and THING flips is a great feature and one of the game's trademarks. And also "using it to guide the ball to the lower flipper" is a thing you can do with a flipper and something skilled players like to do.
Not useless. At all. You obviously don't have a use for it but to argue vehemently that it serves no purpose serves no purpose except to be contrarian.
Sorry. Didn't mean to be vehemently. 
Quoted from Whysnow:funny, I read your posts like a person that does not play much pinball and has sadly never gone deep enough into playing a game to fully understand the intricacies of a well designed game where every inch of the flow, geometry, and feeds were well thought out and implemented.
I didn't mean to offend. It was just your first two sentences and the words super and lots. It just sounded funny when I read it.
Quoted from TheLaw:have we really not retired the whole *shrug* thing yet? I thought that went out with grown men saying "prolly?"
*and let the shrugging begin*
Do you not shrug in real life? I wish there was an emoticon shrug.
