Say a ball comes screaming down on your flippers unexpectedly and you have no time to make a positive shot or attempt a catch; being able to quickly reflex the ball to a place where it's not likely to drain immediately is very helpful while you regain your composure. If you have a favorite ramp shot that you can hit in your sleep, now's the time to make it; otherwise, a big open area somewhat off-center usually works well.Only other tip I can offer is patience. Watch the tutorial videos on the pinball.org site and you'll often see Bowen very patiently re-attempt a cradle separation or some other maneuver until he gets exactly what he wants. No need to hurry, lose control and risk a drain. Even when a hurry-up or something timed and important is running (like ToM's Grand Finale), take a second or two, make a trap or whatever, get control, aim, and only then take your shot. You'll be amazed how many fewer shots you need to achieve an objective - and fewer shots means more points, faster, with less chance of a drain.</blockquote>
