This is a full run through of the V12 table. During this run I beat my personal best (27:10), putting me in the 7th Overall spot on Steam for the table and obtained the Hot Rod King achievement (29:00).

The video was originally intended as a tutorial for folks having trouble with the table. I was not expecting to actually break my record on this run, especially as Fraps seems to cause considerable lag. Although, all of the ball drains were really my fault, not Fraps's.

For those of you tuning in to better learn the table - most of the interesting part is near the beginning. I'll try to post some annotations and/or some focused clips eventually to make what I'm doing more clear. For now, note my emphasis on hitting the kickback/ballsave targets - which I do also in order to activate the Suspension targets. Notice also the various techniques I use for ball control.

Overall, this run is actually pretty sloppy (and I don't think I'm actually that good at ball control compared to some people), but, as you can see, slop is not a big problem for achieving high scores if the fundamentals of defensive and focused play are exercised.

I only had one decent run on the crankshaft. It's at around 10:55.

Note that I did not bother with any of the hurry-ups. I consider them to be a risky waste of time on this table. I've never managed to hit the combos or the turbocharger reliably, either, so those aren't represented in the video.
