[QUOTE="Squid, post: 27679, member: 170"] For Mr. SBAddict, the nuances of timing your shots (captured balls or balls in 'flow') is one of the best facets of TPA, in my opinion. Being a little adept on this matter, I'm here for your Ripley needs. These are the most important (and useful) captured shots that you should get familiar with. From the Left Flipper - The Post Pass (It's risky. general rule, don't do it. I only mention it as the minimum measure of timing things) - The center ramp (I can do this one in my sleep) - The Vari-target.* (This one should become instinctive and become the medium measure of your timing) - The right ramp* (it's useful for relights, gotta use it. 2/3 - 3/4 down the flipper seems to be the spot) From the Right Flipper - The Post Pass (It is much more reliable going from right to left) - The right ramp (learn it, use it) - The Vari-target (I don't use this one much as it usually just deflects off of the Vari-target. useful for switching continents) - The head* (A captured shot can be made but, a slow flow on the ball seems to work better) All shots are listed in the order as the ball comes rollin' to a drain. * indicates shots to be learned with some flow on the ball. I have other shots in my repertoire but, these are the most useful. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
