    Quoted from swampfire:

    Something I haven’t seen mentioned is recovery skills. I’d put those in 3 categories:
    - recovering a ball that’s headed to drainland
    - recovering a game after a really bad ball
    - recovering a tournament after a really bad game
    The first is physical, but the other 2 are 100% mental. I actually find those to be harder. When someone has 2 house balls and rallies to win on ball 3, that’s some Jedi-level stuff right there. Very rare for me.

    repeat after me :

    "pinball is a 1 ball game" ... "pinball is a 1 ball game" ... "pinball is a 1 ball game" ... "pinball is a 1 ball game" ... "pinball is a 1 ball game" ...

    yesterday, just got 2 games on my T3, on these 2, the 1s ball was a direct house, but anyway i'll go to WM the 2 games
    but OK, playing home is not the same of course
