I was kind of disappointed in the movie to be honest. Hopefully their next one concentrates more on gameplay and less on fluff. I love watching those overhead cams of the top players, that is the best way to learn IMO. Hope pinball102 has some of them. I gave my copy away to a fellow pinball fanatic...
Most important trick in pinball is probably the dead pass. You don't even have to do anything haha
The "dead flipper pass," is performed by not flipping when a ball is heading toward a flipper. If done properly, the ball will bounce off the "dead" flipper, across to the other flipper, where it may be trapped and controlled.
