I would have to image with the tilt that loose a person could simply pick the machine up and not have to worry about the ball draining at all :lol:

Tilt isn't that lose, I have tight tilts at my house and I can get away with the same thing.

Stern games have a de-bounce built into the software for the tilt, so massive shakes like that no matter how tight the tilt don't always cause tilts, it's all about quick movements and then not moving the machine again afterward.

9 times out of 10 when I watch other people play who bitch about tight tilts it is because half of the time they are moving the machine with every flip and continually build up an aggregate of motion so when it comes time to actually save a ball the pendulum is already swinging give them even less "play" to deal with.
