The secret of most pinball tables is the table artwork itself - if you aim for the 2x box on the table art on Fish Tales you can pretty much get a ball lock every time - same with the Indiana Jones machine if you aim for Indy’s left eye you can shoot the mission mode ball lock

Excellent explanation! You are right on the nose!! Can you explain how to bump the machine to avoid gutters? I’m terrible at this.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

good stuff! I just ordered my first pinball machine and want to master it for league fun tournaments.

[@joeskis]

Surprised you didn't mention using the graphics as reference points. "The Captain's Chair" hexagon is a great example. Hit the flipper when the ball is aligned with the last corner? Maybe another shot you want to hit the flipper when the ball is aligned between the edges... and so on...

Practice is what counts when it comes to getting better in pinball for sure. :)

[@justimagine2403]

Fantastic information. I have had machines for years and it is always tricky to get it right in the right spot. I do use backhand shots a lot. It is the easiest to get things right above the flipper. Thanks for sharing.

[@benlogan100]

Great tutorials. Keep them coming! :D

[@billy6427]

basically Every point On the Flipper Hits at a certain point provided the Speed/Velocity of the Ball is the same. if the Speed is Different the angle of shot is somewhere else Entirely.

[@0UtLAwSCuMFUcK]

Like a Boss ;) Love the arcades you have as well.

[@TheDutyPaid]

So, hit the ball at the right point on the flipper.

[@Miadolph]

TheDutyPaid Amazing insight! Hahaha

[@energetichappy3324]

Why don't you draw markers on the flippers?

[@himmelsturmerIX]

Does the ball speed affect the point where you should hit the shot?

[@HomeLeisureDirect]

Yes, how fast the ball is moving when you shoot it does affect where the shot will go. This is why many top-level players will trap the ball before taking a shot.

[@b.o.353]

Excellent video. Yes it’s obvious but helpful to see as well.

[@dnbjedi]

[@ajabkhan7887]

How much doller pay for this like machine

[@HomeLeisureDirect]

Pinball machines vary in price greatly depending on the model and condition. You can expect most pinball machines we sett to start from around £2500 based on those criteria. :)

[@ValkyRiver]

Me: fidgets with that shiny ball

[@nolantom63]

I noticed your accent that you are a Brit or Australian .

[@cpgraham1980]

Ya think? Did you read the description?

[@HazeAnderson]

What would ZE GERMANS do, Tommy?

[@EnuffsEnuff318]

It takes time, yes. Then one day you can't make any shot. That is what gets under my skin.

[@stevemaslow703]

[@TraumaER]

[@AbduCola]
