um so I thought I'd just quickly outline
you know the things that I think are
really important in terms of being a
good pinball player um and the first
thing I think is accuracy you know um if
I was the most accurate player in the
world then I'd be the best pinball
player in the world you know if if you
don't miss a shot if you if you're
aiming for this ramp up here and you you
can hit it 100% of the time or you want
aiming for this spinner shot and can hit
it 100% at the time without missing a
single shot then you're going to be the
best pinball player in the world um so I
think that that we just briefly talk
about accuracy um and and and how that
is a kind of a changeable thing you know
um each pinball machine plays
differently you know two Star Treks you
know even if we had another Star Trek
set sat next to this one it would play
very differently to the way that this
one plays and so you know what you need
to be able to do is you need to be able
to adapt
um and you need to be able to feel where
those shots are and it takes a bit of
time you know to be more accurate you
need to understand that it's slightly
earlier or slightly later um for in
terms of where you're shooting the ball
okay so um I'll just uh start a game up
um and and we'll just kind of briefly
talk about you know where and how early
you need to hit the ball or how late you
need to hit the ball in terms of hitting
certain shots so we'll just um we'll
just get the ball and and and I'll just
kind of um put it on here so so for
example um let's say we want to hit this
spinner shot okay so I know that if I
drop the ball down and hit it at the end
of The Flipper here then then the ball
is going to be kind of in that right
direction but what we need to do is if
it's too late then the ball's obviously
going to go here or if it's too early
then it's going to go slightly up here
so we need to understand and feel where
