Quoted from spfxted:I do not nudge and ask people to nudge their own machines.
Same for me, and I know I'm in the minority on this and the nudgers will think I'm uncool. BUT . . . I think after watching some people look like neurotic _________, and shaking the living hell out of machines, I never developed a desire to play like that. I'll stick with the random bounce of the ball. I HAVE 'bumped' a pin a few times when a ball was trying to make up it's mind of which direction it wanted to roll on the outlanes.
And on a more selfish note, I just want to preserve my machines the best I can, no shaking, no scratching the floor with shifting legs, and no loose legs, etc., which seems slightly abusive to me.
It may all be in my head, but I like being kind to my pins.
