Pro Pinball: Timeshock Hint: ----- If you're just learning to play pinball, take this opportunity to practice the basic skills of the game. Catch the ball on your paddle and hold it. Once you've learned to make a catch, practice passing the ball from flipper to flipper. Hold the ball and aim shots at the ramps, the targets, and the roll-overs. Practice shooting for the drop hole straight up the center, and practice hitting the grunch keys to shake the table. This is a great time to learn everything you need to know about pinball theory-without wasting any quarters!
