[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 13965, member: 152"] When the ball hits the open area above CV's left inlane/outlane area, nudge up-right. The object is to slam the left wall into the ball from below, popping it up and over the sling onto the left flipper. If you wait until the ball actually reaches the outlane, it's usually too late. You have to clear the sling, or otherwise the ball slams into the side of the sling and bounces right back to the outlane (which is why it's nearly impossible to make the save currently on iOS/Android). If the ball is [I]weakly[/I] falling into the outlane area, just barely clearing the sling so that it will not contact the left wall before finding the outlane, nudge up-left when the ball is about to pass the sling (before it ever gets to the outlanes). This should interpose the sling in the path of the ball, which [I]should[/I] (if FS has the physics right) roll down the sling without activating it to land safely on the left flipper. I should note I'm making this sound far easier than it actually is. You're going to lose a few balls before you get the hang of it, and a few afterwards, too - it's not a 100% save even when you do everything right. [/QUOTE]
