Nudge-assisted ski pass

Add a short forward nudge near the flipper tip to help a weakening ski pass clear the center gap.

Also called: Nudged ski pass, Nudge pass

How it works

  1. Raise the flipper before the inlane ball arrives and begin a normal ski pass.
  2. If the ball slows near the tip, push the cabinet forward briefly.
  3. Prepare the opposite flipper to receive the assisted transfer.
Use it when
A ski pass is set up correctly but lacks just enough speed to finish crossing.
Watch for
The amount of force depends on cabinet stability and tilt sensitivity; too much movement can earn a warning.
Practice
Start with a pass that almost clears naturally and add only the smallest useful nudge.
