Pinball Philosophy: “Sucker Shots”

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.

Flippers Arcade, Outer Banks, NC – Arcade Walk-Thru
