## Resource

▶ Full Dirty Pool Podcast Playlisthttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS9lWVjGsygallsiz2_TJ_oxIlhl29fLC&si=iLC8oBnZfl_U7pJjAbe Flips from AbeFlips.com joins the Dirty Pool Podcast to talk about his new instructional series Mastering Pinball and the state of modern pinball education. Abe has become one of the most respected teachers in the hobby through his clear breakdowns of real control techniques, helping players move beyond random flipping and actually understand how pinball works. His videos carry forward the instructional legacy of Keith Elwin and company’s classic Pinball 101 era, but updated for the modern generation of competitive and home players. We talk about how the series came together, why teaching pinball still matters, and how the community continues passing down knowledge one tutorial at a time.⚪ Mastering Pinball Contributors:Jeff Teolis : https://www.pinballprofile.com/Scott Danesi : http://www.scottdanesi.com/Robert Glashüttner : https://theballiswild.net/Simon Platzer : https://www.grainhouse.productions/🔺 Praise the Great Pyramid:📡 Twitch http://www.twitch.tv/dirtypoolpinball📺 YouTube http://www.youtube.com/@dirtypoolpinball📷 Instagram http://www.instagram.com/dirtypoolpinball📘 Facebook http://www.facebook.com/dirtypoolpinball00:00:00 - Introducing Abe Flips and the rise of modern pinball tutorials00:01:20 - Pinball 101 and the early history of pinball training videos00:02:20 - The long wait for Mastering Pinball after the trailer00:03:30 - Filming massive slow motion footage for pinball techniques00:05:00 - Explaining flipper skills and visual teaching methods00:07:20 - Demonstrating drop catch mechanics in slow motion00:08:30 - Scott Danesi’s music and the Blu-ray release decision00:10:00 - Filming locations and access to many different mach…
