Catching hold the flipper up, and then drop it just as the ball hits it. If you time it just right, most of the ball's energy will be absorbed and you can cradle the ball. The Backhand Most of the time you use the left flipper to aim for things on the right, and vice versa. However, you can also use the “backhand” — hold the ball, then drop the flipper just briefly before making the shot — aiming for something on the same side of the playfield as the flipper. Some shots on some machines are actually easier to hit this way. Takes some practice to learn the timing. If you're too fast you'll hit the bottom of the kicker.
