Quickie Version:
Sop saucer all day from the left flipper; from the right flipper, finish the drops once, then transfer to the left if possible for saucer shots; if not, go up top for next-best choice, shoot the left side drops as last choice.
Go-to Flipper:
Left
Risk Index:
Very High except for the saucer
Shots to Master:
saucer.
Full Rules:
UTAD for the most part. From the left flipper, it’s the top saucer all day. From the right flipper, go up top just left of the left-most bumper until all 4 letters A-B-C-D are complete, then shoot drop targets. If a shot to the saucer misses and goes into the right side plinko-type lanes, keep the ball out of the bottom-most right lane to avoid draining; if it goes into that one anyway, the ball can still often be saved with a properly-timed nudge, but most people nudge too soon! Wait until the ball is actually part way into the outlane, say 1/5 of the way, then do a sideways nudge. This will get the ball to hit the edge of the return lane or the outer post and perhaps flick it onto the return track. Letters first because this lights the drops for 5K instead of 500. Once the drops are down, shooting a lit bullseye is ok. Ball Control: Like on 300, do NOT hold the right flipper up to roll the ball up to a cradle: it will often go up and out the gap at the right side of the wire form. Live catches and drop catches are fine but use caution so you don’t accidentally do the roll-out.
