A problem with owning a particular pinball machine is that, in just a few months.., you become EXTREMELY proficient with it.

Eventually guests get bored because you yourself can keep a ball in play for ten, twenty times longer than they can.

I learned that after owning “F 14 Tomcat”

“Flipper cradling” the ball to setup perfect target shots becomes routine. As well is subconsciously learning exact “tilt” parameters, and using that to your advantage.

I ended up selling it.
