I was recently watching the semi finals of table tennis during the Olympics, and the guy from Belarus (Vladimir Samsonov) was holding his own. He is 40, and at that level of table tennis you have to have crazy fast reactions and reflexes. Of course all that stuff differs with each person, but it seems like you would be able to play pinball pretty well into your 50s and still be competitive.
