Great video, thanks for that effort!That shows exactly what I was talking about. See how the ball bounces off the flipper (an inch or so) before the flipper is fully lowered. This does not happen with real flippers because the flipper would absorb the ball's momentum. A real ball can bounce only after the flipper reaches the resting position. It cannot bounce towards the inlane on a drop catch as TPA shows; it can only roll towards the inlane (catch early so you absorb all the momentum) or bounce towards the center (catch too late with momentum left to bounce).
