do not shoot Balrog, thats a sucker shot ment to drain the ball/only during fellowship - learn how to backhand the sword lock ramp. Learn how to use the sling shots to trap the ball as its fed down the sword ramp so you can get all your two towers shots with out much fuss. Then work on fellowship. Always start War of the Ents first to both complete the mode with loop shots and build your ROTK army/souls at the same time. Always bring a mode into a multiball so you can easily collect a gift from the elves..
Watch videos here of the best guys in the world: http://pinball.org/videos/
