Hey there! I'm sorry you missed the kickstarter period. 25€ was the inicial price and 39€ is final price already, so dont worry. The only difference is that you will participate in the project and get the updates like the initial backers if you join now. You still can buy it later for that price. Cheers

@@AbeFlips No worries, thanks for the reply and can't wait for the release!

Premium all the way 😍

Hey there, I just can speak for VPX, since I played alot on a high end cabinet. If (!) the table is programmed well, you can do most things like drop catches, live catches, shatzes and dead bounces. And if the table is programmed very well you are even able to do microflips. Nudging however, does not come close to the real thing. I think you are good to go with my free youtube series for the basics. However, if you really want to get to the core and get a full understanding you might enjoy the film. In fact, the super slowmo parts will help VPX creators to replicate real physics even more realistic.

@@AbeFlips Thanks for your answer! 🤗

Even if you don't see it yet, your skills have improved substantially over the last few months! Especially the nudges on the dead bounces are good. Love to see your progression, work on your slaps; they will help you A LOT! Cheers 🤘

I guess you missed my Godfather drainage video then, I got owned so badly 🤣🤣😍

Thanks! I'm curious, how so? What did you do wrong?

​@@AbeFlips Well, I am very new to pinball, few months only... but I was trying to nudge thinking that it moved the table rather than the ball - I think it may have largely the same effect but I was much more kind of moving the table than kind of slapping it to pop the ball out. Will go to my local pinball place tomorrow and try this technique!

@@bowlerhat127 Ah i see thanks!

You should read the balls speed, so that doesn't happen in the first place. Now you have a few options here which i don't explain here but they are: microflips (tip pass or "the ostermeier"), don't pass at all but shoot, rolling post passes, post catches and Shatzes (alley passes). Quite advanced techniques and depending on the machine and your skill just a few might work. That's Pinball 😍

Like with any sport, if done too much or too intensely, you can injure yourself. Therefore, I suggest playing and paying attention to your body's feedback. I know people who have played aggressively over decades without problems, but I am also aware of individuals with physical issues. Typically, the body tolerates playing pinball well, unless it is done to an extreme extent. If you have RSI-related pain, pushing the buttons could aggravate the issue, but nudging should be well tolerated. You can reduce the resistance of the flipper buttons by adjusting the switches slightly, requiring less force to push the button. This adjustment helps me to play longer sessions (I also have RSI...)

@@AbeFlips Thanks for your reply! I had problems with my arms because of excessive typing and clicking for some years. Now it is about ok, but playing the piano or the guitar is still difficult. Playing digital pinball with my Switch Pro Controller is ok...but the main reason why I haven't bought a real machine or a real VPIN yet is standing behind the cab and pressing the buttons...sitting in front of the computer with a controller is better for my arms. Judging from your dialect, are you from Austria or Germany? I am from Austria. :)

@@leanderquest Yeah, I'm Tirolian. Look for a Pinball location near you and play for a few hours and see how it goes. Would be bad if you miss that opportunity and don't experience the feeling of owning a pinball machine. It's like one of the best things ever! I also have problems with guitar, but I learned to adapt... However, controller can still be bad for me.

@@AbeFlips Warst du schon mal im Prater in Wien? Da gibts anscheinend einige...auch Lord of the Rings, Medieval Madness...einige meiner Lieblings. In Vöcklabruck gibts die Flippsarena...aber ich weiß nicht, ob ich mal probieren soll. Ich hab in meinem Leben ca. 500 Stunden digital gespielt und 5 Minuten in echt, weil es keine Tische in meiner Nähe gab bzw. ich jetzt wegen der Arme nicht weiß. Aber ausprobieren sollte ich wohl mal. Wieso kannst du mit einem Controller nicht spielen? Die Tasten vom Switch Pro Controller sind einfach zum Drücken...einfacher als Flipperbuttons.

@@leanderquest Vöcklabruck spiel ich immer Liga und Wien war ich auch schon! Probiers aus! Ach, jeder hat so seine Eigenheiten was Beschwerden betrifft ;-)

Hey, it sounds like you need to develop a better understanding of how the ball behaves and gain a feel for the angles and timing. One way to practice is to repeatedly catch balls coming in a consistent manner, allowing you to anticipate the catch and understand the trajectory. Later on, you can apply this technique during normal gameplay. If you remove the glass, you can let the ball roll from the same starting point and practice your catching skills this way. It might be helpful to start with dead bounces first. This technique is very effective as it reduces the ball's energy, requiring no effort on your part - just avoid flipping the ball Be sure to check out my tutorial playlist, as it is organized by importance. Best of luck with your practice!

Thanks for your reply and patience! Yes, I have been practicing dead pass, sometimes it works, sometimes I misjudged the angle and it went down the drain😅. It seems dead pass works well when the bass drop down at high speed at certain angle, but at slow speed it is very easy to drain. And I need to resist the urge to press flippers whenever the ball is coming down. 😂

Hey Daan, if you prefer PayPal thats fine. Just send me an email which you can find in the FAQ on the Kickstarter site.

Gut erkannt, das sind Titan competetive flipper rubbers. Sie nutzen etwas schneller ab, reicht aber für den Heimgebrauch absolut. Das Spielgefühl ist sehr gut und präzise. Ich bestelle sie bei pinballshop.nl, weil kein anderer Händler sie in D hat.

Please send me a email first and I will take care of you. You can find the email adress in the Kickstarter FAQ section. Cheers

look now lol 19 k

@@blackdaan lets gooooo

@@bennett3625 great huh 18k is met .. so all goals are met.. so the movie is coming 😄

Wow Erika, thanks for the kind words and a big THANK YOU! 😍💪

As I started playing competitively I got inflamated finger joints from the slaps. However, I'm not using them these days anymore, just for show ;-)

​@@AbeFlipsthey are looking good

Wow, thanks for the kind words and the support!
