    Since im playing alone every day and getting better, some questions came up.
    I have Pinball 101 and 102 and I'm watching pinball streams, but it cant replace real teaching.

    Am I right that slide save is a extreme version of a slap save?
    At first I just let the flipper in the up position and after that i slid the machine.

    The thing is, when i see a ball going slowly SDTM, a slap save is not enough, because I really have to move the machine a little bit to save the ball.
    I know the "slap" should also move the machine but in some cases the slap will not be enough and it hurts when hitting harder.
    Slapping harder also wont help, because the timing is way too off with slower SDTM drains. The flipper will rise too early.

    My solution is that I drag the machine with my palms an push the flipper button a little bit later to get the timing right.
    It feels like I decouple my fingers from the hands, so I'm able to be more precise.

    Am I doing it right, and how do you do it?
