A Bangback is a sharp upward thrust on the cabinet or coin box (don't hurt yourself) where you knock the ball off the outlane wall as it heads towards the center drain and it goes through the flippers (keep the flipper up on the side which corresponds to the outlane where the ball went through) and over to the other flipper. View Animation If the ball is headed toward the center of the flipper when raised, then if you drop the flipper as soon as the ball touches the flipper, it will stop right on the flipper! It will just stop completely, and you can either attempt a trap if the ball is closer towards the base, or you can let it start to roll and then simply shoot for a target. View Animation This technique is the opposite of the Drop Stop. Hit the ball so that it collides with the flipper just as the flipper reaches the point where the flipper is fully extended. If you hit the ball such that it meets the flipper just before it stops extending, the enery imparted by the flipper hit will cancel out the momentum the ball has and the ball will stop right on the flipper where you can trap it. View Animation Another skill that you can perform on a ball which is heading quickly through the inlane is Inlane Friction. By nudging the ball either left or right while the ball runs down the inlane, you can slow it down because the ball will bounce back and forth between the sides of the inlane. View Animation The Slap Save is the most basic ball saving technique. When the ball is nearing the center drain, and when it is coming in on a slight angle, if you hit the flipper that the ball will reach first and then the other, you may be successful in tipping the ball just enough with the first flipper so as to set it up for a more full shot with the second. The flippers should be hit in very quick succession, but not at the same time! View Animation Use the left and right control to tilt. Especially when the ball enters the left and right gutter. This is one way to save your ball from getting lost. To ensure the maximum gaming experience make sure you disable the sticky keys. start > control panel > Accessibility Options.
