In Pinball games, a Skill Shot is an optional bonus that the player can earn by performing some particular task when launching (or "plunging") a ball. It typically requires either releasing the ball with a particular strength so the ball goes into a certain region, or shooting a specific target, ramp or loop immediately after the ball is launched. Some games have various levels of skill shots, awarding different bonuses depending on which one is reached.
Not to be confused with the popular terminology for a type of attack in Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas, referring an ability that travels to a location/area (and so requires some prediction to hit an enemy) rather than being Homing Boulders that will always strike something you point and click on.

Pro Pinball: Big Race USA has four:
Shoot the upper-right ramp at launching for the Skill Shot.
Hit the big loop and then the right ramp in a combo is a Super Skill Shot.
Using a soft launch, send the ball to the upper-right flipper and then shoot the upper-left ramp for the Secret Skill Shot.
Use the upper-right flipper to shoot the mini-loop and then the left ramp yields the Super Secret Skill Shot.

All of the tables in Zen Pinball have some kind of skill shot. The Paranormal table in particular has two skill shots, and one of them can be a double skill shot.

In 3-D Ultra Pinball: Creep Night, launching a ball softly from the plunger and make it launch from a different hole directly into the main playfield will give a voice message say "Excellent!" and rewards you with 10,000,000 points.
