[QUOTE="mikehg, post: 139143, member: 4099"] I've only just noticed that on my tablet (2012 Nexus 7), if I actually 'tilt' it (as in sharply rotate it around the long axis, if you're in portrait mode) it registers as a smallish nudge. Haven't decided whether that's useful yet... Edit - Well, having played with it for a bit I'm going to say very useful! It seems to put me less out of control for flipping, and is somewhat faster to execute. A sharp 'jolt', lifting the side of the tablet corresponding to the side of the table you want to slap, seems like a better way to do small trajectory adjustments. It's hard (at least at the moment) to do harder nudges like that though - when I really want to whack the table for a 'hail Mary' ball save, I still think it's better to actually move the tablet.
