    Good Lord, what have we come to? Never heard of death save, and that's after playing for 50 years. After watching those videos I think you'd have to be an a-hole to do that on location or on any game you do not own.

    When I was a teen in the 70's we would shake a game on location before dropping coins to see how tight the tilt was set. Then we'd know how far we could nudge it. That's nothing compared to this crap.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    We haven't "come to" this point, it's already been there for decades & decades.

    Well I say, "Own your drain, cue up next ball or another coin".

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    You say that becasue you own 80s SS machines...Not our fault DMD+ era basically eliminated after ball bonus'!

    I like my early SS games. What the hell is a "DMD"? A "damn modern distraction?"

    Quoted from TheGunnett:

    Do all you guys play with the glass on or off ? Why do locations and tournaments insist on keeping the glass on? Its removable for a reason and really helps my game when it’s off.

    I'd worry on playing a game without PF glass installed. One air ball could destroy the BG.
