[QUOTE="Zombie Aladdin, post: 143570, member: 4242"] Thanks for the advice. I'll try a nudge-focused practice sometime, though preferably at a place that doesn't get a lot of foot traffic. And a machine that's not right up against a wall. I feel like not nudging is the single biggest barrier to me not being able to consistently play well. I can already figure when the ball is going down the middle (though less so for the outlanes), and I know the issue there is to react with a nudge, which is something I am triyng to work on. My most common reaction is still to panic though, which means no attempt at nudging. For #1, when is that done? Is that right before the ball reaches the rubber? What should be done in a game where the inlane/outlane dividers don't have rubbers, like [i]Ripley's Believe It Or Not![/i] or [i]RollerCoasrter Tycoon[/i]? Thanks for explaining what a forward nudge is for though. That I didn't understand. I always figured a nudge was to roll a ball slightly off its normal trajectory. (I have to say I at least find it a bit amusing that I can do all of those techniques listed in #3 but still cnanot nudge to save my life. I imagine proper nudging is something learned before at least some of those techniques.) For #5, I have asked, but they give me really vague advice. I think they have trouble describing it properly themselves. [/QUOTE]
