[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 159116, member: 3745"] Another tip: I've reworked the best way to grind for super jackpots. Shoot the center lane from the [i]left[/i] flipper instead of the right. The reason is safety: a miss from the left flipper usually calmly drops back towards the flippers, while a miss from the right flipper is considerably more dangerous. The other reason is that this left flipper shot consistently drops the ball into the leftmost PAID lane, where it has farther to go to exit the bumpers and will rack up a few more bumper hits on average. This method is safe enough to keep both balls in circulation rather than holding one forever, which really cuts down on the boredom. With each return from the bumpers, just dead pass to the left side and shoot again. You can hold the right flipper immediately after that dead pass to catch the second ball if need be. If both balls are coming out of the bumpers nearly together, dead pass the first and catch the second on the right. But most of the time you can just pass and shoot back up the center lane while the other ball is still in the bumpers so you have both flippers free to recover from a miss. This really speeds up the super jackpot grinding - you'll get to those 100 and 120 bumper hit levels before you know it. [/QUOTE]
