The Death Save, a sharp forward nudge (when timed right) that pops the pinball up while it's going down the center drain from the outlanes (with help from holding the flipper in the direction to where the ball is draining), is a move often considered a controversial move. Some say it's cheating, others think it's part of the strategy.
Personally, my opinion falls into the latter; I think it's a very risk-reward move. In Pro Pinball, which is an utterly fantastic simulation of the real game, I rarely ever get this move successfully; when I do, the table nearly tilts. I basically risked my turn in order to save my ball. I even performed this on the Wii version of the Williams Collection; same result. I usually don't succeed at attempting it either.
Who thinks this move should be considered illegal or part of the game? And why should or shouldn't be an illegal technique?
