Pinball Skills - Live Catch

[@Roccowschiptune]

The production on these lessons is really good! Thanks a bunch for the helpful and concise info

[@AbeFlips]

You're welcome!

[@tristanwegner]

best live catch explanation I have seen on pinball youtube

[@Yetimon]

One of the most powerful moves, beautifully explained. Thanks!

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Brilliant! The fingers off delay tip is a great one. Just a few ms makes all the difference. PS Love the side glance to the camera after catching. Slick!

[@TheToxicGamer97]

Your videos are so well made. Can't wait for more!

[@BootsORiley]

You explain what my subconscious has picked up on by virtue of hours of playing, but failed to work out exactly *why* and when it works with right angles and near the tip of the flippers. Love your channels Abe

[@AbeFlips]

Thanks, always nice to hear personal experience with the tutorials. So I know it works out 🙂

[@greendayisawesome123]

I love your videos so much; they have definitely helped me out in an area where nobody I know plays!!!!

[@alonjar]

Hey just wanted to let you know that as somebody who is brand new to pinball, these videos were exactly what I needed, and I really appreciate you taking the time to do them and do them so well. Thank you! Keep making more!

[@AbeFlips]

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback. It helps me to make sure that I`m on the right track :-)

[@jonnorris4204]

Yes, best to practice with orbit shots that feed a flipper near tip! Time the flip so that ball arrives at flipper at the exact same time flipper reaches end of stroke.

I accidentally pulled this off for the first time yesterday while playing an Iron Maiden machine and I thought I had broken physics.

[@psteady6726]

Excellent thanks 🙏

[@Highonlifenstuf]

Awesome video series! I just started playing flipper a few months ago so this is great learning about all the things I see the pro's do! :D BTW, I wanted to let you know that there is something strange with your twitch link, I didn't find your twitch when I clicked it but when I searched your name it worked so maybe check that out! Keep up the good work!

[@AbeFlips]

Thanks for taking the time, link is fixed now 👍

danke, mein deutscher freund, what rubbers you use on the flippers.. available in europe?

[@AbeFlips]

Hey there :-) For home games I recommend Titan competition rubbers. Nearly plays like original Stern rubbers but in all colors. Problem so far, noone is offering them in europe anymore, maybe PU-Parts will have them available soon. I can't really recommend other brands like perfect play or superband - not a fan of how they feel.

[@purbeast]

I'm really liking your tutorials but one issue I'm running into is you make this stuff look so easy. I realize I need to practice though. One question I had which can go with most of your tutorials - do the rubbers make a noticeable difference? I am on my first pin ever and it's a JP Pro with stock rubbers. Would changing them out to Titans make a difference as far as some of these moves/skills go and just how the ball bounces around the playfield?

[@AbeFlips]

Yes, flipper rubbers are affecting certain techniques. Especially drop catches, dead bounces and live catches. I use titans for most of my games. However, Stern stock rubbers are not that bad and as you are quite new to pinball, you might not feel too much of a difference. I would not change the rubbers on the posts and sling shots, especially the post sleeves. They are less bouncy and you have more time to react from a rebound off of them. cheers
