I know how that is. Sometimes I may have a bad first ball and want to hit the start button and go again. I try to resist that because you may have really good 2nd and 3rd balls and end up with a nice score.
You never bail after a bad first and/or second balls. If anything Iron Man has taught me is that any ball can be your best game, and if ball 1 and 2 were a wash, then you just had your best game ever all in 1 ball! Even better...

I've gotten better at holding back on restarting after a bad ball one. But there are days I get so aggravated with myself I still do it.
My high score on Star Trek is 507 million.
Couple months ago, I'm playing. On the first ball, I complete all tier 1 missions, and a couple of tier 2. Score of 407 million.
I figured I'd finally get to enterprise amok and that I would blow away my high score. I ended up with 474 million.
That is why I love pinball.
I came in the house the other night kind of sloshed and had a less than average ball one and two on BSD, then proceeded to put up over 600,000,000 on the remaining ball almost doubling my previous high score.
In the arcades I never quit a game just because I had a bad first ball, and see no reason to change that now.
Im going to reprogram my gaames to allow for 15 ball gaames. I should get at least one or two good balls per game for sure...
