I have to admit to the occasional bob'n'weave too while playing, and I when I lose a ball I tend to lightly kick the outside of the right hand side leg with the inside of my foot. I definitely play differently at home to how I play in public, and just like jbscar I do like to give it some sideways action but only at home, I'm like a much tamer player at shows and pin venues, it's like I'm scared of what people might think or say if they see me nudging the hell of a pin that I don't own. I know I shouldn't be cause they ARE made for being shoved about thats why there's a tilt mech. Which by the way I would never disconnect, it's part of the game!!!!
However I do disconnect the knocker, you know the bang when you get a highscore, replay award etc cause it scares the cra* out of my son when he plays. He's always wary when a new pin comes in and instantly asks if i've taken the BANG out.
