[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 213989, member: 3745"] Zaphod, yes that's what I did for Lightning Storm, let the ball do a partial rollback on the flipper each time then release and flip up the middle again. You can keep two balls in the same loop this way, if you're sharp at adjusting the timing so they don't collide. Flip each ball when the next one is just about at the elbow on the habitrail. I agree with JPelter that Teed Off is actually quite an interesting game for the 20 minute time limit. Lightning Storm is the baseline strategy, but there's ways to beat it. Regular multiball can score faster, if you push the jackpot to something like 500M and can keep the balls in play for a couple dozen jackpots. A perfectly played Pitch & Putt would also outpace LS, at five minutes to max the bonus to 255M and one minute to play the round for 5B total. Anything Goes might be reachable in 10 minutes which is double Lightning Storm and would be superior if started soon enough. And of course there's Skins waiting to top it all off... although that's probably going to fall flat in TPA as anything worth doubling will fail the rollover detection. Teed Off is so unbalanced it actually wraps back around again to balanced, it's fascinating. [/QUOTE]
