Pinball Philosophy: Sucker Shots - The art of risk vs reward - PinballHelp.com
In this episode of PinballHelp's Pinball Philosophy, I tackle a universal issue with all pinball games: sucker shots - those shots people love to shoot, that are high risk. Thinking about ball movement and angles will help you understand what to shoot for, and sometimes, what to avoid, to be a better pinball player.

greetings and welcome to pinball help
this is another episode of what i call
pinball philosophy
and i've been wanting to do this
particular video for a while but i
wasn't quite sure what game to use and
how to bring it about i thought you know
what
this is a concept that applies to all
different pinball machines from modern
games
you know all the way down to the
earliest machines and i thought it might
actually be better to illustrate it with
just
one simple old game so what i'm talking
about today
are
sucker shots or the risk reward factor
in pinball
and how that basically plays out and i
think
any of these old electro mechanical
games are pretty good in being able to
demonstrate that so i am using a
gottlieb target pool this is a wedgehead
machine
and uh got one little light out right
there but other than that the game is
playing
pretty nicely so let's talk about what
sucker shots are well a sucker shot is
basically a very high risk shot
it's typically reserved for shots that
like maybe you shouldn't make
but they're very easy to to to be
enticed into shooting
kind of low hanging fruit and they will
cause the ball to drain so there are
high risk
shots now there are high risk shots in
other games where
they're necessary they're just risky
but sucker shots are shots that you
typically just want to avoid if at all
possible or if you need to make them hit
by hitting a certain target you do it in
a non-standard way you don't shoot it
directly so let's talk a little bit
about the philosophy
