what is hardest shot in pinball?

#2 11 years ago

You won't know what I'm talking about, probably, but hitting the 'special' on Super Soccer is almost impossible.

#3 11 years ago

AFM Dirty Pool is a toughy.

#4 11 years ago

The captured ball on TFTC.

#5 11 years ago

Sweeping the full target bank on Target Alpha.

#6 11 years ago

Right volcano ramp on Congo, it's a SOB! Also the right loop on Whitewater is probably the worst.

#7 11 years ago

Wheel of Fortune is not an easy one either.
(Skill Shot)

This far and no mention of the hole-in-one shot in No Good Gofers?

#9 11 years ago

Hmmm there are plenty of tough shots on Spirit

#10 11 years ago

Tron's Gem shot can be terribly frustrating when you're in SOS.

#11 11 years ago

For me it's any final shot I need to reach a Wizard Mode.

#12 11 years ago

Right ramp in AFM.

#13 11 years ago
Quoted from Honch:

The captured ball on TFTC.

Not sure if hardest ever but yes I have trouble with it. Surprisingly lately I have been hitting it during multiball to add an extra ball which is a neat feature. But during normal play hardly hit more than once and never 5 times yet.

#14 11 years ago

Ramp on Star Wars (DE).

#15 11 years ago

Tron gem shot for me.

#16 11 years ago

Congo volcano shot through the pops is one of the most difficult and enjoyable shots to hit in pinball.

#17 11 years ago

The upside-down ramp on TFTC - more than 2 times in a row on command and intentionally.

#18 11 years ago

Gem shot for me, never can make it when I need to.

#19 11 years ago

Probably not the toughest shot but the cellar door in Cyclone was always a pain to get. Muffed shots on this would drain often too.

Any timed jackpot shot is a bear when you've got the clock ticking, too.

#20 11 years ago

*Any* orbit shot where you have to squeeze it between the pop bumpers - ugh!

#21 11 years ago

Not many people know this game but the treasure shot in escape from the lost world. You have to shoot the 3 drop target, then ou have 30sec to shoot the cave, then cross the narrow bridge of gold (upper left flipper, second level)and then shoot in the door (upper right flipper, third level) before it closed.

This thread is going to be all ss and dmd games with people listing shots that pros make a hundred times in a row in their sleep. The real answer is a shot on some 50s game with 2" flippers or 40s game with reversed flippers in the middle of the playfield.

#23 11 years ago

Orbitor 1 (Special) shot by far the toughest shot in all of Pinball.

#24 11 years ago

Gem

Is there a shot where it is impossible to cradle the ball and aim? Not being able to take a deep breath and aim makes it a lot harder. At my local arcade, hitting the ring in LOTR requires that the ball be hit while in motion to get enough speed.

#26 11 years ago

any timed shot that is under 10 seconds.

#27 11 years ago

The EB on WH2O is pretty tough from a stand still. You almost have to let the ball roll off the tip of the flipper to hit it. Then the return off of the target (or the post next to it on a miss) is a total crap shoot
