I try and drop my arms between balls.

I get tingling fingers after about 20mins of playing but soon wears off when I stop.
Didn't realise until recently that I use the index finger on the left and middle finger on the right to flip, just how it feels comfortable and right

I get this , reading in bed is one of the worst. Most times i’m asleep i wake up with numb hands - mainly little fingers go first.
Spent so much on osteopaths and masseuses. Found regular rolling of the shoulder sockets ( windmill motion ) and the arm up high resting on a door frame then pushing forward really helps.
I’m 44 and had it for years so if anyone else has any good remedies please share
I have GB on the v pin. Me and the kids play it . It doesn’t seem to have the big gap in between the flippers as the real pin ?
Crank it up @Sharkbait - i’ve learnt that from @Slingshot99 - loud and proud

Glad you found a game @Sharkbait , enjoy
as for numbness and pins and needles in the hands - it most probably is carpel tunnel syndrome - in which you can go for nerve testing and will quickly identify if you have it and how bad. I let the numbness go until it bothered me all night with hand braces during sleep and then alot during the day when on a computer. I finally went to the specialists after trying osteopaths, acupuncturists etc etc and they told me it is super risky to let it go as could lead to permanent damage.
I had dual carpel tunnel surgery 2 years ago and took me a while to be able to play pinball but now can again but playing does still trigger mild numbness as tend to lean down on the lockdown bar. I did suffer permanent damage to 2 fingers of just feeling weird and not regained 100% nerve normality so be careful.
Basically they cut the carpal ligament in half and in my case my hand / palm could open up flat again and then the ligament regrows and protects the nerves, ligaments and veins once again but it can re-occur.

Blimey that sounds horrible!
Luckily I don't have much in the way of tingling etc just an ache at the base of my thumbs.
I guess I'll see how I go. I don't ever remember getting this with my old pin, which is weird.
