THE hardest shot/s in pinball?

Man, I’ve played my share of games but I can’t think of a harder shot than the Super Jackpot on Batman forever that has to be shot at with the bat cannon.
That thing is brutal, you might hit that shot one out of 30 times if you’re lucky, it’s a balls width, no more and you can hit it pretty good and it still won’t go through the mini ramp... it’s insane! I’ve tried tweaking and dialing it in, no luck.

250 million just sitting there...and you only get three chances at it or it reverts back to regular jackpots and then you have to hit them all again to qualify the super again.

What’s another ridiculous brutal shot?

Quoted from LesManley:
^^^THIS. It's absolutely ridiculous and the only thing that even feeds the shot is a full orbit from the left that comes screaming to the upper right flipper on the fly. The captive ball shot is the only real purpose the upper flipper even serves on Maverick too. The captive ball is hidden behind drops and sandwiched in between two posts, one with a post rubber on it, so you have about half the ball to hit. This shot too is the Super Jackpot shot on the game. I owned a Maverick for years, put up over 4 billion on it, Poker Championship wizard mode and all and I bet I could count on one hand the total number of times I hit that shot out of all the games I played.

I actually love this shot. I have hit it once with the upper flipper, but could kiss it pretty consistently with the lower right flipper. There is just enough to hit from the lower flipper in just right the spot. That is a fantastically placed captive ball- great shot!

Quoted from Yoko2una:
It’s a tight shot no doubt, but pales in comparison to OP’s point about BF’s borderline impossible shot that comes around once in a blue moon and then when lit basically doesn’t have the geometry to work.
Give me a half hour on a Houdini and I’ll hit the inner loop a bakers dozen times. I owned BF for like 2 years and never made that F’ing shot.

Yeah, I have noticed you have a better chance hitting the bat cannon super by letting the cannon swing out and hitting it on the return. It’s still hard as nails though

Quoted from littlecammi:
There have been some shots named in this thread that are indeed tough to make.
But convincing my wife that I should get to buy another pin? I got no shot.

That’s a pretty decent lineup you have, I don’t really blame her..
