[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 42803, member: 152"] Generally side-to-side nudges are done more by striking the appropriate side of the machine - gently! - than by trying to physically push or pull it around. (Death saves are another matter entirely.) Most tables are too heavy for that, although Eight Ball Deluxe is apparently much lighter than other tables, as the first nudge I tried on it nearly threw it into the adjacent machine. Needless to say, it tilted. I'm not the greatest at it, but I have been known to occasionally hit the side of the machine with my open palm and then use the heel of my wrist to quickly press the flipper button on that side. For example, to nudge the ball off the right wall of Monster Bash so it avoids Dracula's foot (which sticks out from his coffin just enough to cause a ball hitting it to have a risk of center drain) and then catch on the right flipper. If you watch the PAPA 14 Quarterfinal videos (Group 2), you can see Cayle George doing a similar thing on their Monster Bash...I think he even comments on it at one point. One last tip: If you do the "striking" nudges, remove any rings you're wearing first. Until your hands toughen up, your fingers may swell up from the repeated impacts. [/QUOTE]
