[@PowerPaul:] Thank you for this article! As soon as I am in the voting central, I will upgrade this post. ;-)

P.S.: Let me motivate you: the update came at 19.08. But the top 3 in the ranking made their points after that update. So you can reach this area, too.

P.P.S.: Beginning on Monday I will limit the hits you can do per game in general. This means we don't will see players who play 50 minutes to reach the top.

... Tips & tricks: But the right handling of the hammers can be more important and a strategy, including counting the pins and return with the mouse to a standard hole between hits to be ready to hit, when the wave appears. In relation to hammers: on the right mouse button I have the small fast hammer (left in the room on the sideboard) and a bat (directly over the hammer) on the left button. When you have the bat left and click left in combination with key D, you have a pretty nice area of swiping over the table. With this you have a good chance of hitting pins + you hit several of them = more points. And where is my standard hole? Of course on the left side - so I swing more or less over the whole table. Extra hint: the "several pins on the table phase can be very strategic to use; which pins you hit to build up higher chances of (maybe several at one time) combinations. On regular clicks I always just use the hammer - with this I have the bat always ready to hit, as soon as the wave appears (and don't have to wait until the bat swings back. If I just would use the bat, I am to slow mostly.)

Good luck on your further games! I assume only 40 or 50% is the speed, the rest is the right weapon and strategy.
