[QUOTE="superballs, post: 48891, member: 341"] Spin would be awesome. I'll keep quiet on that until flipper mechanics are ironed out. I was playing some High Roller Casino or some-such game that i'm not too familiar with and it had a bank of drop targets on the right and i could regularly hit the bank twice with each shots (bank faces mostly downwards). Was really cool i would smack a target and the ball would bounce down toward the flippers an inch or so and then roll back up to hit another target. As a bowler i love seeing stuff like that. Reminds me of one of my bowling balls, which drilled in a certain way (as it is) leaves my hand rotating sidewards and as it works down the lane you can see the rotation actually speeding up like the ball is winding itself up before it hits the dry part of the lane, it's really quite unreal to see. The axis even changes by about 8 degrees while the ball skids through the oil as it finds it's prefered roll axis. Seems off topic but the two closely relate. The same as a really strong topspin on a cueball, where the cue ball stops dead after contact with another ball and then just boogies forward. As far as the latter two Pro Pinball tables, the ball even has decals on it to show it's spin. Very advanced modelling for the time of release and even now. [/QUOTE]
