Most of the mistakes are made when the flipper doesn't understand that. I just emphasize that "the arrow points to the ball's next direction and don't let any one tell you different, even your best friend who comes over to replace the scorekeeper and says 'hey you've been doing it wrong the whole first half'".....
Tweets -- I dare you to give this lecture to a 6 year old, as mick described in his situation, and then make it stick. But perhaps it would be wise to give it to the 16 year old in charge of the 6 year old. I'm not sure I'd have the coolness to trust the arrow to a 6 year old.
