[QUOTE="Buzz1126, post: 143243, member: 3964"] Like most, the drop-catch is a tool I use. I don't consider it a style of play. You say you don't want an underhand pitch, you want the nastiest, hardest slider/curve out there, but let me ask you this: do you drive on the interstate like you do in a residential neighborhood? Do you come screeching out of your driveway, tires smoking, then hit the brakes only to accelerate to a stop sign/red light, then hit the brakes again? In pinball, like driving, I'm aware of my surroundings. I'm watching the lanes (in both). I'm looking for instances of scoring. I'm looking at angles. Do I drop that target, and if so, where will the ball go next? Where is my best return for my shot? Can you honestly say that not catching the ball, not using a tool, makes for a better experience? I can't. In my second favorite experience, not using technique makes for a short game. Just like pinball. [/QUOTE]
