[QUOTE="skippycue, post: 283517, member: 3125"] This goal is by far the hardest goal for the Starship Troopers table. However, it's really not that hard because it's pretty easy to hit the drop targets with backhand shots from the right flipper, even the red one. For the last planet I was going to try to earn the spot planet award from the recon hole but decided it was not worth worrying about and went back to the drop targets. It's pretty easy to keep the ball in play assuming you don't press the wrong flipper button like I did when I lost my first ball, lol. Also, there are three easy catches to be aware of: [LIST=1] [*]When shooting the left ramp, hold up both flippers and the ball will jump to the right flipper for an easy catch. [*]When shooting the right ramp, hold up the red flipper and let the ball trickle over it then let it go and hold up the right main flipper for an easy catch. [*]When the ball exits the recon hole, let it dead bounce to the left flipper, then hold up both flippers and left nudge as the ball starts rolling onto the left flipper from the left inlane to give it enough momentum to jump to the right flipper for an easy catch. Sometimes the dead bounce will also allow an easy catch on the left flipper. Controlling this eject helps a lot! [/LIST] [MEDIA=youtube]OuI1Ab60VT0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
