[QUOTE="D-Bonus, post: 253312, member: 5176"] I just recently started playing in these tournaments (android tablet here). I quickly made my way through bronze and silver tournaments, finishing in and around the top 10 each time. Now in my second gold level tournament, I find myself starting off near the top, and slipping downward. I finished around 50th last time, and I'm currently 37th. I don't know what it is, but I find myself unable to consistently have good games, even on tables I'm generally really good at. Every shot seems destined to either bounce off an obstacle near my target, and go right between the flippers, or sail right into the outlane. One common issue I have is when I try to aim a shot, it will suddenly bounce off the corner of the opposite slingshot, and go right down the middle. My general question to pinball pros is how do you consistently post such great scores? For me, it seems to only happen once in a blue moon, and I've been playing pinball ever since I was little. I've read up on all the techniques, but I can't seem to find one approach that seems to work all that well. My aim seems to be inconsistent, my timing seems to be off a lot of the time, and I never nudge, because when I try it, it doesn't seem to affect the ball in any way. Is nudging the only way to perform well in a gold level tournament, and if it is, how do I make it work for me? I love pinball, and I will always play it no matter what. I'm just looking for any advice to help me compete with the best of you guys. :) [/QUOTE]
