Bang backs

[insx]

Bang backs are quite hard to do in real life without hurting your wrist or getting a tilt. I've successfully done a couple but with the aid of my knee. Bang backs in PP have traditionally been quite easy to pull off. I'm wondering if this is going to change. I don't really want to whack my mini cabinet hard enough to perform this manoeuvre but it's going to be even harder to get to the end of time without them.

Having very little real pinball experience and not even once been gutsy enough to actually nudge a physical machine (whenever I get the chance to play a real one I´m way too respectful to smack it around), I only learned about bang backs recently:

Very cool. I wonder if that works in the physics model in TPA, might be fun to turn a game on the more notorious outlane-monsters on its head I hope PP has an elegant way to integrate forward nudging into the tablet version as well.

Nudging is an essential part of pinball play and I don't know any machine owner who doesn't do it or expect it. Death saves, bang backs and sliding the machine around the floor are often considered disrespectful although you could argue that the machines are built to take it.

I owned a ST:TNG for a while and that was when I first got the hang of nudging, even shaking the ball up and out of the outlane on occasions. The outlanes really are brutal on that machine and nudging evens things up a bit. I guess if your aim is perfect you would never need to do it
