Almost absolute. The ball is rarely in danger of draining if you know
how to work the table and the table is well-designed. The laws of
physics control the ball when it is out of your direct control, but
those laws are simple and easily learned.

The *key* to becoming an excellent pinball player is to control the
ball. Any really good pinball player will tell you the same thing. And
just like any other game, it can be mastered.

"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more
doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than the creation of a

the preservation of the old institution, and merely lukewarm defenders in
those who would gain by the new one." -- Machiavelli
