I have a few questions so hopefully can get a little help.

The VUK spits the ball out so hard that it sometimes jumps the flippers. I have changed to the correct coil as originally it was even stronger. Do I need to go down again? Do I just bend the top of the scoop to try and angle the ball down more?

Also, if someone has knowledge of the game, when selecting the skill shot, if the ball doesn't quite make it around to the top lanes, the skill shot remains until you get up there. It won't matter how many sling hits or ramp shots etc. Is this normal? It does register once I hit the orbit and back into the lanes to collect the skill shot?!?

Finally, and I hope this many questions is ok, sometimes a mode will start without hitting the scoops. Generally the left ramp starts it?? Is this normal? Is there a switch that will activate a mode start??

I'm not too familiar with the game yet so just looking for a little guidance.

Thank you.
