    So how do you aim ??
    Do you focus on the flipper bat & make the shot ?
    Do you look at the shot you are aiming for , do you use the artwork on the playfield (near the flipper or a little bit out ?)

    Teamwork!

    I like your style! Why disrupt the flow of the game?

    Quoted from ccotenj:

    i can go to the driving range 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, and i'll never be a pga tour player...

    But if you had started when you were six, you would have a better chance. Same with pinball. You can't cram 40+ years playing into a short time. Development also includes breaks in the action.

    Quoted from ccotenj:

    i believe that the guys who are the top pinball players aren't actually given enough credit for their raw talent because there isn't anything that readily stands out

    I agree raw talent is a starting point, but these guys also have the ability to concentrate and focus. I believe my skills are pretty damn good, and sometimes I amaze myself, but I also get sidetracked as if it really doesn't matter if every game is better than the last. I think the top competitors probably play like every game could be their last.

    Quoted from ccotenj:

    he would literally "will" shots to happen and putts to go in, all when they meant the most... he could do this because

    That's before they took away his harem.

    I never knew there was so much technical jargon involved. I push the buttons, the flippers hit the ball, and I usually score lots of points. That's the fun of it.
