That said if you are good at handling that kickout, it's still worth the skillshot.Twilight Zone. again the easy full plunge avoid the dreaded bumpers while making the skillshot can kill you.  EVERYONE who plays this game seriously ignores the skillshot. it's that bad.NGG: the full plunge up the ramp to shoot at the hole in one is a much better idea than the dangerous skillshot, though the ballsaver helps out there.SO i declare that for Whirlwind, the easy and safe shot is the full plunge to set up the upper right flipper. The super skill shot is, of course, super weak plunge to lower right flipper and sweep the bank. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />NOte that TAF breaks this rule. the skillshot is your FRIEND. ALWAYS go for it! part of why it's so popular. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
