Quoted from Doctor6:Metallica, on the other had, if you hit your shots, you're gonna get the ball back. The only one that is risky is the coffin shot. The rest are very much coming back to your flippers.
....and hitting Sparky dead-on with the left flipper...and not hitting the left ramp hard enough where it rolls SDTM...and hitting some of the picks certain ways, other than that, you're good.
