Are there any tips to making a game easier to nudge? I'm not talking about loosening the tilt mechanism or anything. My pins are on carpet so they can't slide at all. I can nudge them a bit but it takes some effort. I can't nudge it enough to avoid a center drain no matter how slow I see it coming. I'm mostly talking about my ST:PRO.

I'm still pretty new to the pinball scene and have only been a home pinball owner for about 6-7 months now. Yeah, it's safe to say it's my new obsession. I'm hooked and there's no going back. But I don't need to explain that to any of you.

Anyway, I'm a full nudge supporter. It just makes sense. Pinball is such a visceral hands-on game. Nudging just enhances that. Heck even the popular Pinball Arcade app has a nudging option built in.

As with the OP, I have a friend who was the one who got me into pinball in the first place(hey Dan!). For some reason he doesn't seem to want to nudge his machines. I've played his Tron plenty of times, showing him how I nudge. I still hold the high score on his machine. Sorry man. He doesn't care that I nudge his machine and I'm still careful with it and not sliding it all over the place.

It's just something that I feel you have to do as part of playing the game. For cripe's sake, pinball can be so damn frustrating at times even with nudging. I couldn't stand to just let balls drain without even trying to do something about it.
