I have been playing a lot of Metallica lately and feel like the electric chair magnet will drain me like 30-40% of the time and then there are the grave markers and the pick targets. It's almost like half thew shots are trying to drain my ball.
What are the most dangerous shots you can think of? I'm not really thinking about halfway made ramp shots which are probably player error, but more like actual made shots that are very risky (like the three bank SW shot).
Quoted from jarozi:Forcefield in AFM comes to mind. Or really any shot I make is pretty dangerous, hah.
Don't shoot straight up at it. Shoot the ball at an angle at those targets. Use the right flipper to hit the left most target and the left flipper to hit the right most target.
Quoted from zacaj:opening the prison doors on TWD, since the magnet just throws it down the middle
I thought if you hold both the flippers when the magnet has the ball it'll toss it up towards the bead instead of SDM?
Quoted from ForceFlow:Don't shoot straight up at it. Shoot the ball at an angle at those targets. Use the right flipper to hit the left most target and the left flipper to hit the right most target.
Yeah but even once the force field is down, hitting the drop target ship can be a real drainer too. Best to battle the UFO’s after the first or second with multiballs.

Don't shoot for the center--shoot for the walls. Reflecting the ball at an angle leads to less SDTM drains, plus there are targets on the sides you can take advantage of for additional hits with only one shot.
Demo Man:
- any bricked shot to the left ramp = STDM
- car crash = STDM
TZ:
- Pop bumpers = STDM / left drain
- Greed Targets = STDM / right drain
- right to left orbit without using the left flipper = STDM
Whirlwind:
- short shots to the inner orbit can lead to side drains off the rebound rubber
Whitewater:
- extra ball target usually gets you a center drain
- lock targets are also a drain monster
Quoted from RobDutch:The Shadow brick wall when it is not lit for locking balls
SDTM and nothing you can do about it hahah
Also "G" Mongol target. Shot comes fast right back to the flippers and sometimes at a high altitude
