[QUOTE="Storm Chaser, post: 197293, member: 373"] Zaphod77: I feel ya! Thought that I would love some more "wisdom" before leaving this thread and this awful WG. This goal is about 70% luck and perseverance and 30% skill I would say. You are entirely dependent on how the ball will run down the lanes and if you will get that Up and Down-movement. About half of the time (or less) it actually bounces up and down a bit and you get some lanes covered but what you should aim for is the right-most lane since that has the possibility to do that several times and slow enough to easily change the lanes. This only happens perhaps once every 6-7 times - and you probably need this to happen at least twice (in one 5x-attempt). The skill is related to being able to trap the ball on your left flipper and shoot the right outlane with very few mistakes. When you have 4x and 6 seconds left, you have no time to miss it. Getting skilled at this shot pretty much comes with the perseverance needed for this goal anyway - so you WILL learn it. Now, when you can make that shot it is just a matter of repeating and repeating. When I tried for this WG I restarted the game frequently. If I, for example, hit the trap door I restarted since I didn't want to wait for the "exciting bonus" I would get, as well as trapping after a kickout is virtually impossible. Why not just start a new game when you get the ball automatically to the bumpers? After all, this is just a matter of repeating over and over and over and over until the probability plays your way and you get at least two good runs up at the bumpers and lanes, as well as having the luck & skill to get the ball to a cradle and the skill to shoot it back to the bumpers. I think I may have made some 300-400 attempts, but then again I restart frequently. I didn't play 400 full games on this table :) Nudging around the bumpers didn't help me out a single bit. Nudging, in my pov, is only relevant to get the ball cradled and to get it into the rightmost lane. My thoughts are with you, who are still trying for this goal! It was one of the worst ever in terms of how boring it was to go for... [/QUOTE]
