[FSPA] previously unknown pinball technique discovered?

[Steve Peck]

Max - I love it, very apropos to the movement involved too. Pecking it is.

Dave - funny you should ask - I actually did make a follow up video this
morning. If your aunts friend's cousin's boyfriend (or anyone really) tried
this for 5 minutes and said 'oh it doesnt work' - they probably did it
wrong and need to experiment. Pecking is something I figured out over the
course of weeks and have been using for much longer, it takes some practice
and precision.

here's the follow-up video:

I show a more appropriate amount of force. I also address the 'any
vibrations theory' (spoiler: 'mr science' should experiment before claiming
something as fact)

I think there's no shot of this working through a lockdown bar. too many
components between there and the bobber to dampen the forces involved.
