[QUOTE="Nik Barbour, post: 35517"] Question for anyone. How is this Post Pass/aka Post Transfer/ aka Slingshot Pass safely done on this table. I understand the mechanics of it... Cradling a ball, a v quick off and back on the flipper causes the ball to bounce up, hit the lower post of the slingshot, and travel in a graceful arc to gently land and be cradled by the flipper on the other side. Now on most Williams tables, I can do this in my sleep. Left to right - right to left - no worries. But in Ripleys, if cradling on rh flipper, quick flick of the flipper, sends ball up, bounces off lowest slingshot post, ball then travels in 7 or 8 o'clock direction and deflects off lh flipper sometimes bouncing back to rh flipper. It's obviously due to table arrangement of slingshot and flipper. It just doesn't feel safe doing this on this table, and requires violent nudging to keep it under control. I've tried different frequencies of tap, even double tap, and holding other flipper up. Can't pull it off safely on this table. As you state, it is something thats needed on this table - any tips or is nudging to control the only option? (hope the description makes sense - a picture would have saved many words:)) [/QUOTE]
