[QUOTE="OmegaDef, post: 143024, member: 4082"] Ha! I guess you have, Shaneus! I totally understand people taking an anonymous internet stranger's bizarre claims with a grain of salt, so I'm glad I have a friend on here who has actually played with me before. Espy, it isn't something I do on purpose necessarily. It's usually a matter of the ball coming from the inlane at the exact right speed. You hold your flipper up and let the ball roll to a stop, balancing on the tip. It's easier said than done. You have to be ready to flip if it doesn't look like it's going to stop in time. It's an anomaly, but if you play for long enough it's bound to happen sooner or later. The first time I ever did one was on the Getaway nearly 20 years ago. When I said I've been trying to get that shot forever now, that's what I meant. There were no pocket cameras back then. In my opinion there is one tip stall that is the Holy Grail. I've almost done it twice, but I'm not sure it's actually possible. If you're familiar with it, the upper playfield of Banzai Run is essentially vertical pinball. To get a tip stall under those conditions it would take all the stars and planets aligning. If I ever do land that one, I'll go back on what I said and post one final photo. [/QUOTE]
