A useful example
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
