I used to be a real pinball wizard, and one of the techniques one learns is how to "slingshot" the pinball to various targets (this means sort of delaying the flipper action as the ball rolls a bit down on the flipper, then pressing the button, using the ball's momentum combined with the flipper action to change the normal trajectory of the pinball to reach areas that would not normally be reachable, for example). The reason for this technique? Because the pinball does not always interact with the flipper at the desired angle or speed necessary to reach a specific target. Thus, one can change it by using this technique, and improve the accuracy (which means more points, more balls, extra games, etc).
