Micro flip

Release and repress a flipper very quickly to make a small, precise change to a slow ball.

Also called: Micro tap, Microflip, Flick pass

Variants: Rolling stop, Back-flip setup

How it works

  1. Start with a slow ball on or near a raised flipper.
  2. Release the button for only a moment, then press it again.
  3. Use the base or tip of the moving flipper to stop, pass, or reposition the ball.
Use it when
A full flip would add too much energy but the ball still needs a small correction.
Watch for
The ball can hop off metal inlane transitions or rebound toward the center.
Practice
Begin from a cradle and make the release interval progressively shorter.
