Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:I've always thought this was one of the most difficult shots in pinball. The game appears to have been designed such that this is the only way to make that shot. I love it!!
You can hit the EB with a direct left flipper shot, but it is such a narrow window that the backhanded right flipper shot is much safer. I do love the left backhand to the left orbit, that's always rewarding to make.
The boat also seems safer on average if you shoot the left side with the left flipper and the right side with the right flipper. Seems FT was made with backhanding in mind
