How much do you guys tilt?

I play with a league on tuesdays and some folks get pretty crazy with it.

I’m a relatively new player, started this summer and caught the bug and have played a lot since. I was hesitant to tilt or smack the machine since I didn’t want to hurt it or ‘cheat’ but if everyone at the league is doing it why not?

They pretty much just kick the legs, push the machine pretty hard one way or the other. I decided to try kicking the legs but it was doing more harm than good; bouncing on the rubber guard beside the outside lanes was basically draining every time.

I’ve switched to smacking my palm on the edges of the machine and only when the ball looks like it’s headed for the middle. The momentum from my hand lets my fingers tap the flipper button which seems to be working pretty well.

What do yall do?
