Have been playing Tron a lot and that gem shot is kicking my ****. So difficult to hit with any consistency and vital to the wizard modes. Super satisfying when you hit it though. What shots do you struggle to make? What would you say is the toughest shot you've come across in pinball?
 
Right ramp on Transformers Pro is a swine. It’s easier on the LE’s.

Tunnel shot on TWD makes me a sweary Mary too.
 
Most of the classic, actually-physically-hard-to-make shots have been listed already, except perhaps the Ring shot in LOTR.

I will also suggest Cue Ball Wizard (ipdb) for two shots that are tough as nails to make - The 'No Way' target which is normally completely obscured by the cue ball, and the 'Clean Bank Shot' which basically requires getting a lucky rebound or aiming to roll the ball across drop targets and a rubber, as you have to go around an angle and avoid the pop bumper on the inside corner.

No Way Round is probably my favourite shot in all of pinball. With practice you can rebound it off the very top of the right slingshot and around the back of the cue ball. Damn I wish I hadn't sold that game.
 
The right ramp on GB is tight. Always thought a little too much so on what is already a punishing game
 
The shot I really really really need at an incredibly crucial part of a game :confused:

Got to age with this one. Especially when you are under pressure trying to get the double jackpot.

I also can never seem to hit the skull crackin captive ball on the left
 
Consecutive warp ramp shots on Stern Star Trek, first shot is moderately hard but speeds up with each succesful shot.
 
Final Draw scoop on WCS94 to start multiball :thumbs: Extra ball target on Flash Gordon, you'll have already hit a similar shot 3 times to drop the drop targets in front but that last one to get the extra ball is a git, proper drainy return as well even if you nail it perfect :mad:
 
Gem shot is best done from the very tip of the right flipper into the target bank (pro). With practice, it can be done quite consistently.

There is too much luck needed for that shot. One reason I don't care much for Gofers.

How so? It’s purely down to accuracy, a slightly off centre to the right from the left flipper nails it but you don’t have time to line it up.
