[QUOTE="brakel, post: 15606, member: 416"] Ball control is the key concept to practice when first learning how to get better at pinball. There are many skills to develop for very good ball control but keep in mind of the concept as you learn different techniques from watching the videos. Also keep in mind that because of limited flipper physics, not all the techniques that you see in the videos are possible, at least for now, in TPA. I think when learning it is better to learn on one table and become a master at it. Then once you've mastered a table, take what you've learned and move on to other tables. TPA can be a help in this respect. Instead of playing for points or for the "story" just play for a particular shot or bonus. Pick something from the goals of the table and read the the tutorial on how to do it. Then play games just working on that one goal until you master it. Do this for each goal on a table or for selected shots in the table's tutorial. Work on these on one table while always thinking "ball control" and you will develop good pinball skills. [/QUOTE]
