Pinball Flipper Technique

[nko138]

what about death save? you can't do that with a center/save pin.

Other Question: What is teh music? Bdw I am pinball player too, I just practice these techniques. I can do all of them, but I don't earn enough hiscore yet.

Who plays the pinball in this video?

[rocketcarmike]

@YYYValentine I do.  I filmed myself playing, with a little tripod shooting upside down on the glass.

When should you use a stall vs a drop stop?

[rocketcarmike]

@gentleuterus The stall (flip trap) stops the ball, and therefore gives you way more control--you can turn it into a regular trap. A drop stop is an easier way to take speed off the ball, but has less control. Also think about what will happen if you don't get the timing right -- a failed stall will bounce the ball back up, a failed drop stop will act more like a dead flipper pass. Either could lead to a drain depending on the layout and circumstance.

What is this song? :o

Pshh, learned all these moves when I was a kid.

Except for that "nerves of steel" since none of the pinball machines I played had the center pin.

[PIRTEKM3]

@SaikoTaiko same here. Know them all well.

I've never seen a machine with a center pin. Kinds seems like cheating -.-

[darkinertia2]

@Grubbsy4JC tons of pinball machines have a center post...that one was whirlwind but a lot of bally and stern tables have them...it doesnt help much unless you know what your doing...and either way most of the time youll lose a ball on the outlane anyway lol

[Undurrrdog1]

Should mention that nerves of steele only works on machines with a center pin. Otherwise your just gona look silly.

Cool video!

[Lyubefan]

dethsaves?

[Skrippy33]

@Lyubefan I never got that damn move down... Mostly cause the pins we have have that metal rails under the flippers, but on say, Big Buck Hunter Pro.... I've never gotten that move to work successfully....
