[QUOTE="ScotchYeti, post: 71138, member: 345"] I have an easier time backhanding the Special from a stopped ball. Count quickly to 2 and shoot. With the other flipper it's pure luck. Keeping the ball alive afterwards is a must, these are the points that make the difference. For whatever reason I find hitting the targets on the left side easier. When the ball comes down with lower speed and is close to the targets I always try to nudge slightly to the side. With good timing the ball slowly hits 3 or more targets and you can get control. I have tried to focus more on ball 4 and 5 because the bonus is higher but this strategy is useless. You need to clear the targets as often as possible and collect the Special, no matter which ball it is. Scoring well on ball 4 or 5 means that the overall score will be higher but it's not unusual to have huge 2nd or 3rd balls. While going for the Wizard goal I have always restarted the game when I had less than 100k after ball 4. [/QUOTE]
