If you want to be a complete pinball player, being practiced with ALL the different shots and techniques and executing them is the trick.I'm glad you seem to like "flow" more than "control".  But please don't try and invalidate the VAST MAJORITY of pinballers who use trapping and catching as part of their regular game.  You keep repeating yourself about the "challenge" of not trapping, like you are somehow a better player for not using the technique.  Sorry, but you are dead wrong.  You are simply cutting yourself off from being able to score higher on certain tables.And just to keep things real here - nudging on TPA is not even CLOSE to nudging in real like.  The only thing "easier" about it, is how easy it is to rock the machine straight into a tilt.  There are so many degrees of nudging that go on with a real table, TPA's 8-way system PALES in comparison with how you can massage and work a real table.</blockquote>
