studmuff,
Are you one of these guys who has to stop the ball every 2 shots?
IMOP, flipper holding is Cheating, and should be removed from the game. It would separate the real skilled players from the posers.

So what your saying is people like the Josh and Zach Sharpe, Lyman Sheets, Keith Elwin, etc are not skilled players and are posers. It is a skill to be able to control the ball and make shots.
Are you one of these guys who presses the flipper buttons at the same time? No wonder you don't like any games made after 1970.
Xiaou2 please see a doctor. You are suffering from ODD. lol

That's crazy talk. 90% of the skill in pinball is ball control.

I can't even imagine how a pinball machine would be able to determine that you're holding a ball and if you set them up so that the flipper only engages for a second every time you hit the button you're going to feel extremely detached from the experience.
From what I've seen of those top ranked players, a lot of them will just make the same safe shot over and over again. :-\

If you ever have trouble sleeping, watch some tournament videos where Dr. Who is involved. It's better than Ambien.
