Quoted from o-din:

I set my tilts pretty tight. Keeps everybody honest.
I'm amazed how many games come missing the tilt bob, one of the most important features in a pinball machine.

Quoted from Blackjacker:

Playing without nudging is like getting a hands-free hummer.
Or maybe giving one.

Quoted from AlexF:

On Majorettes if you tilt you lose your current ball and one more. So on the last ball if your going to drain and there is a chance to save it with a hearty nudge. Why not? Nothing to lose really. Either it drains and game is over, tilts and game is over or you have a triumphant save.
I'm kind of surprised honestly that so many are anti-nudge. I always assumed it was just part of becoming a better player.

Quoted from electricsquirrel:

On my AAB machines, a tilt forfeits the ball in play plus the next one.
Is that typical?

Quoted from JoeNewberry:

How were you supposed to play flipper-less pins without any nudging? Why bother having an adjustable tilt bob if you just don't want anyone nudging at all? I think some gentle persuasion was expected. It's interesting to note that they put slam tilts on the coin door and under the playfields, but I don't think I've seen a game with a slam tilt on the sides of the game. It seems like they were most concerned with people breaking the glass or damaging the vital money taking parts of the game, more than with people just slapping or nudging the game.

Quoted from Electrocute:

As a kid, I was terribly abusive to pinball machines. I would tilt often, get angry and would often slap the playfield glass which would make an awful loud noise. Sometimes I would pick up the machine and drop it. I was a bad kid.
Now, I relax and just play the game. Never get mad and don't nudge much. It's all about flipper skill and knowing the game. Saw someone playing, how I used to play, at free play Orlando. Game shut down and I sorta laughed as he stormed off.
