The nudging done when slap saving is done as the ball is about to hit the flipper, not before it. Yes it temporarily shifts the ball closer to the flipper, but this is the same point as with any other playfield object, it first shifts the ball a tiny bit up the flipper, and then transfers momentum from the machine swinging through the flipper into the ball. If you do this so far in advance the machine is not moving as it reaches the flippers, your nudge did absolutely nothing, because the ball will have returned to the original position and maintains the original trajectory.I'm going to concede one point though. And incredibly worn or dirty playfield might actually make it possible to make slight adjustments just with regular nudges because of added friction, but the adjustments probably won't be very controllable.</blockquote>
