I personally cannot use this method when playing pinball, for many reasons. for one, i like a challenge; catching the ball and having that extra time to think and plan where you are going to flip it, makes it easier, imo. when i step up to bat, i dont want someone to throw under-hand to me, i want their hardest, nastiest curve ball or fast ball. i also like the challenge in learning all of the different ball trajectorys on-the-fly, at all different speeds and angles; there are many of them and it feels like the game never gets old. then there is the speed of the game. i like my game fast with little stoppage, i may even sometimes avoid tables that have too much to say and show, other than play (e.g. circus volitare's long cut scenes etc) dont get me wrong, i love the table, i guess i can be impatient at times. i love fast, non-stop tables like Centaur and ToM. i just feel like having little time to think and hitting the ball on-the-fly is more of a chllenge and also improves my reaction time, over time.everyone has their own reasons why they prefer a certain play style. there is no right, wrong or better way of playing (is there?) because what works for someone may not work for others, everyone is different. id like to hear your preferred play style and why. or even if you disagree with my opinion on the "easier" front, bc maybe im wrong? just keep it nice, please! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />)</blockquote>
