[QUOTE="JPelter, post: 240787, member: 623"] I'm having trouble parsing what you're asking. The reason nudging works in pinball is because when the ball is next to an object on the playfield, and you shake/slap the machine, the entire momentum of the machine is transferred through the playfield object onto the ball, causing the object to hit the ball in whatever direction you're nudging. If the ball is out on the playfield there is nothing to transfer that momentum onto the ball, and the only way to move the ball relative to the playfield is to slide the entire table out from under the ball. This does not happen in regular nudging, only when forcefully sliding the entire machine to the side. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
