I personally don't understand the shooter lane thing at all. It tells you nothing more that you couldn't have seen by just looking at the normal playfield shot. Guy could have had rusty balls all over the playfield, broken flippers dragging on the playfield, raised inserts ghosting and chipping, etc, you're not going to see any of that in a shooter lane picture. Kind of like trying to determine how nice a car is by looking at the underside of the door handle to see how many times it's been opened, lol...why not just look at the car instead?
