I agree that it isn't easy, but it isn't all that difficult either. The GEM shot on Tron is *way* more difficult.

All of them. My friend calls me the Post Master! If there was a contest to hit every post in any given game, I would be the Master, everyone would bow down to the Post Master!!! I might make myself the Post Mater General!!!
For me it is the left ramp and the left orbit on TSPP...
7 months later
My Maverick machine has this captive ball, beneath the Lauren Belle paddle boat, that is the most )(#&(&($&E_Q)W&
((*$)_!($+$(+_#@...darnest thing to hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Drives me crazy sometimes! Ok, all the time lol!
Left ramp on TSPP is hard I agree. The Gimli shot in LOTR is tough as well, not so much to shoot, but to have it actually stick and not carry through to the pops and trickle out the right orbit.
I think the worst is the Itchy and Scratchy hole in TSPP though. I can't find a way to continuously and accurately hit that.
All orbits are usually the hardest shots in any game, but I would say the hardest orbits to be on IJ. Now that I think of it, the BF right orbit to start modes was a bitch as well.
Quoted from Dommer:the under the flipper camera shot on TZ.
Have you tried holding the left flipper up when going for that shot? It turns into a very easy shot.
First off...nice collections jayhawk & fusion! As far as Tommy...yeah I have one of those and can't ( have not yet anyway) make it either
I've voted for the gem shot when this thread started and I'll vote for it again. The 2 set up shots(quorra and rt loop) are tight so the whole shot is just a big PIA. I can't discipline myself to practice it off the upper flipper. When I have the ball on the rt flipper I use the rebound off the tron targets as my first option.
Quoted from jayhawkai:Have you tried holding the left flipper up when going for that shot? It turns into a very easy shot.
yeah, but for some reason i can only get it once in a while. always just a little off on my timing.

I did that once on my NF so many time in a row that it went into a ball search and damn near lost the ball.
Any shot that's worth a lot of points all of a sudden.
It's amazing how difficult shots become as soon as they're important. Like- I Hit a target 100000 times in some game, then, as soon as there's a hurry up or jackpot lit on it, it will all of a sudden become the most difficult shot for me. Oh well
Quoted from fusion301:5 - way combo on Tommy
What is the 5-way combo on Tommy? I get a 4-way combo every once in a while purely by accident.
Now that I have owned STTNG for a while, I'm convinced that the shot to the Borg lock is one of the most difficult in all of pinball. You really have to hit that sucker up there hard!

I've only seen it done once and it does relight multiball instantly so it ends at the mirror...
Quoted from Natetheviking:I've only seen it done once and it does relight multiball instantly so it ends at the mirror...
Then it must be something like...
right ramp -> left ramp -> right scoop -> genius lane -> mirror
Or Four way combo on Funhouse - thats a fun one to get. Left Ramp > right Loop > trap door loop > Hit Rudy.
Also on STTNG when you game is set up properly the borg ship is not hard to hit at all, spinner loop to ramp - you need to use the momentum of the ball, proper flipper setup is key.
Quoted from romulusx:Whirlwind's air raid siren shot is the most difficult of my pins.
This right here. Not a single shot but a combo, damn it is satisfying when nailed.
I'd call FT's extra ball shot sketchy. You need to nail it just exactly right off the backhand, I feel like I hit it all game long but when it's lit and I'm trying... different story.
CYCLONE.
The cyclone ramp is a tough shot for me. Looks easy enough.. but it's a tight shot to make.. let alone 3 times in succession for the jackpot.
Quoted from scottslash:The right ramp on TFTC is verrry tight.
That, I think, is my favorite ramp shot in all of pinball. It's slightly too tight, but man - you miss that shot because you don't have enough power, and it shows back up FAST.
I think the hardest is the left saucer on SWE1. If you hit it dead on, the rebound usually pushes the ball out. If you hit it to the side, it bounces out. Almost the only way I ever get it in that saucer is by slopping it and getting lucky.
Quoted from Johnny:In that case, the Advance Rank/Command Decision on STTNG. You cannot see it even when lit.
Delta Ramp is a bitch too.
Trying to hit the "Advance planets" target on Pin-Bot. There's a reason it keeps showing up as a bad switch when there isn't anything wrong with the target.
Quoted from Squeakman:+1 for the Volcano shot on Congo. Its nearly impossible to master and hit consistantly.
Really?
Never had a problem with this shot. I love that shot, one of my all time favorites in pinball. Very satisfying. I would hit that shot regularly enough to collect the extra ball from it a decent percent of the games I played.
Only played Congo a couple times but that volcano shot is tough.
Dead End shot on TZ has always been super hard for me. I have hardly even aimed to try it in years.
Quoted from jayhawkai:Have you tried holding the left flipper up when going for that shot? It turns into a very easy shot.
Yeah with the flipper up it's hard to miss. The hitchhiker is harder imo.
Two shots on Stargate, that can ruin my life...
The Sarcophagus
The left ramp, I remember playing a game I had ten consecutive shot to that ramp go up and come back down to the upper flipper.... The flipper on the game is by no means week, but Christ!
Banjo Bonus(When lit) on Cactus Jacks....
