Quoted from ABE_FLIPS:What i learned is the potential of drop catches:
Depending on the timing, angle and spin of the ball you can controll how much the ball rolls back, up the inlane or even jumps back to the other flipper.
You really can learn and understand the physics by practicing this technique. I sometimes still get cheap drains down the middle, because the ball has a spin to it after the catch, and speeds down the center. Until now i didnt find a way to predict the ballspin, if you could help me out there?
Another thing was to make it a habbit to use the opposite flipper right after a single slap save. This saved so much balls for me.
Right now im learning to predict if a second slap is even needed.
Great point... sometimes a single very quick tap save leads to a better shot from the bounce, as opposed to a double tap save, not knowing where the ball will be speeding towards... on the flip side, there are times when that single tap save attempt leads to the ball draining when perhaps a dual tap save might have ended up differently... that's what's so great about pinball... deciding on the fly what type of save will lead to the next best shot!
