i use alot of body english.
  i have tilts set on the machines.  but if i can get the ball out of the outhole lane by kicking my machines a**, i will.   i am always nudging machines.  ok, sometimes alittle too hard.  then i get a tilt and loss my ball.  its all gameplay.

Quoted from Mrhide

In order to make the ball choose the inlane over the outlane you want to move the machine toward the outlane so that the pin between the inlane and outlane moves toward the outlane and the ball hits the pin on the inlane side and heads down the inlane.  This is nudging, and should be performed as quickly and lightly as possible so to avoid warnings and tilt.  

I'm not a "player" that's for sure (ask Vengence), but in my experience, even though you'd think this would work, it seems to me to require a LOT of force to move the playfield enough AND I'm not so sure the ball has enough mass for its inertia to overcome the friction on the playfield.  

IMHO It will only work if the ball is travelling at any speed (i.e. straight towards the outhole) with a slap save IF the ball is pretty close to one of the flippers (and again you are actually using the flipper to force the ball away). IF it is hanging on the outlane pin then you'd think it would work, but I usually get the opposite effect, the ball travels in the direction of the nudge.  Maybe my playfields aren't smooth enough??  

I think the question is:

Do you mind if I tilt your machine?

I think the common answer is:

I don't care, as long as it isn't my machine.

Not true, I don't care one bit if you push my machines around, I have the tilts set to the level that I feel I am comfortable with when they play my machines.  

That is my basic rule, if I'm competing and your titls are tight as hell I'm not going to move the machine much, but if the tilts off, then so is anything to stop me from walking all over your machine.  I move the machine as much as I feel is necessary to win without tilting (Short of ofcourse picking the machine up) so if the tilt is off, I'm going to walk that machine all over the room to keep the ball out of the outlane.  If the tilt is on, I'll work within it.

But that is more for competition, if I'm just playing for fun and don't really care, I'll barely move the machine.  

I generally nudge as much as needed without tilting to try to save a ball or manipulate a ball to where I want it to go.  That's part of pinball.  However, death saves and bang backs aren't appreciated.  

Depends what type of player you are. I am an old-school ''ball-stopper'' type, where I prefer stopping the ball on a flipper and aim my shots, instead of having the ball in perpetual motion. When doing that, it is as much anticipating what the ball will hit as it is where it will end up after. Like billiards. I will nudge forward a bit... not much side-to-side. I just shake it a little to move a ball. Not slapping the side of a cab to make it move.
