[FSPA] previously unknown pinball technique discovered?

[Steve Peck]

 1 - how are you going to hit straight down through the side of the cabinet
while hitting wood? how are you going to dent a side rail with the fleshy
side of your fist or your palm?

2 - it works. Well.

3 - maybe, but again the video makes it seem much louder than it really is
in person. since a fleshy part of the hand is used it's a fairly dull/low
thudding.

regardless of how sustained this is you're never, ever going to hurt a
machine doing it. i really doubt a bare hand could do anything to a side
rail even if you're trying but the technique doesnt require that much force
- it's all about inducing vibration on the axis that runs vertically
through the bobber.
