The Hobbit
Jersey Jack, 2016Trying to expand my collection and noticed that two of my games have a single great shot that is so satisfying when you hit it, you keep coming back to try to make that shot again. For me it is SW Premium blowing up the Death Star shot and The Hobbit, killing Smaug. Both have such great celebrations when you make that shot.
Any other nominations out there for single great shot experiences that keep you coming back?
Quoted from indybru:The shot that melts the witch on Woz. I have a very low success rate but when you do its pure awesome.
I've heard a lot about this one. Will have to pull up a video to take a look. I am hoping JJP puts something in to POTC as well. The Hobbit just keeps getting better and better IMHO.
16 as the final number you need for 5 in a line, after hitting the ball return twice. Nothing beats that for me.
Quoted from indybru:The shot that melts the witch on Woz. Since, I have a very low success rate, but when you do its pure awesome.
I like the shot on IM for do or die as well.
Took a look at the video. I do like how JJP does their epic shots. Similar to The Hobbit. Flippers die, balls drain, huge light show that you actually get to watch, scenes on the LCD playing. You know that you just did something big!
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Mousin Super Jackpot...not just the shot, but must have angle and speed.
Had to look that one up...looks like fun. Really different way to get a jackpot.
Melt the witch. The frantic attempt to get the ball up to the munchkin play field, and down to the upper right flipper for the kill shot is exhilarating!
Quoted from Zablon:As of late it is hitting the bell on AC/DC....that "BOOOOOOONNNNG" is so satisfying.
I must admit, that is also a favorite. It is an easier shot and is just part of the game, but so much fun to do.
Quoted from Eskaybee:I can’t decide:
Stern Star Trek warp ramp.
Stern Star Wars Death Star shot.
If you like the Warp Ramp on ST, try out JJP POTC. That upper loop shot is so smooth.
Super Jackpot T2...been doing it for me for half a decade now...!!!.............Joey
The 50x spinner shot from the right inlane to a juiced spinner on Alien Star.
It involves lining up the 5x with multiball, then alley passing the right inlane (to life the spinner for 10x for 5 seconds) and plowing the spinner.
5x playfield + 10x inlane + juiced spinner = 
Hitting the third jackpot in a row in Whitewater MB while having 5X playfield going. That and Destroy the Ring.

Agreed
F14 yagov kicker. Best kicker in all pinball.
Shooting the ball into the ring in LotR never gets old to me. I'm not even talking about just DTR, but in general when you get a nice clean shot and the magnet grabs the ball. Love it. And the audio/animation timing with it is perfect.
Lots of great shots in pinball though, really hard to nail any single one down!
(already told on the T3 topic) my best "grace period" in pinball :
was playing multiball, 2 balls in play, only 1 jackpot collected, and than
1 ball drained in the center, the other ball was on my right flipper, quick shot on the JP target, boom JP2
ball came back on the right flipper, direct volley shoot, right on the target, boom JP3
ball came back on the right flipper, direct volley shoot, and again right perfect in the lane, and boom SUPER JACKPOT !!!
Quoted from Breaking_Dad:Super Jackpot T2...been doing it for me for half a decade now...!!!.............Joey
Agree, that's a great one Joey.
I also like passing through the spinner on Firepower to lock the third ball and start the countdown to multiball. Kinda hard depending on how game is set up, but addictive!
