    I watched a world class player demonstrating the drop catch at a show with the glass off and it took him several tries to do it.
    It just takes a lot of practice but very satisfying when you pull it off.

    Quoted from jackofdiamonds:

    I can only manage it a certain ball speeds (medium to slow),can't really catch the fast ones..just bounces off.Its less often instead of more often for me as well. Scott

    You can catch the fast ones, the timing has to be perfect and there is never anyone around to see you do it when you pull it off.

    Quoted from PinballHelp:

    It would be awesome if someone who was doing a pinball game created some kind of diagnostic mode that was the equivalent of a pitching machine to the flippers where you could practice those shots over and over...

    You can, just take the glass off and drop the ball into a scoop.
