[QUOTE="Tabe, post: 15648, member: 342"] What I have found works pretty well is to only shoot for the castle from the left flipper and to bounce it off the barrier on the right side so that the ball deflects before hitting the castle. This makes it far less likely to STDM after hitting the castle. Not that I'm an expert at the game or anything :) My skills are still nowhere near where they need to be on most games. It's no coincidence that my best game - Funhouse - is also the one I understand best. I know exactly how the ball will bounce most of the time. I know how to pass from one flipper to the other and so on. And the result is that it's a very controlled game where most of the other tables I flip the ball around wildly quite a bit :) Tabe [/QUOTE]
