[QUOTE="Slam23, post: 221837, member: 896"] The easiest EB to get in my experience has been looping bonus x from the right lower flipper with a deadbounce from the left lower back to the right lower after the loop, just watch out for fast returns: they will trickle over the tip of the flipper, a timely nudge has to be applied. You have more than enough time to keep that bonus x lane lit to repeat. I handle returning balls a bit differently from Zaphod's methods (also very useful by the way): - ball shot from the right "lock" area: keep up the left upper flipper for a catch on the right lower flipper, or deadbounce it to the left flipper for a right lane shot to the up-kicker - ball shot from the left lock: let it go (no action with the upper flippers) and either do a live-catch to impress the public, or shoot actively up the right lane and control it the same as described above. May need a slight nudge to keep the ball from rolling over the tip - shoot Yagov: keep the left lower flipper up, after the ricochet the ball routinely travels across the upper flipper area and hit the right upper flipper, with a slight nudge you can deadbounce that ball safely back to the left lower flipper. I find post-passing a bit finicky and often use Yagov to get the ball from the right to left flipper, and while doing that advance my kills if needed. [/QUOTE]
