its all about timing my dear boy...

dont touch the "hook" button untill the ball comes in, the push can come slightly after the hook. There is no use pushing when u mistimed the hooking...

tht "hook" is the most important button, i suggest as soon as u press the "feed" button, move ur finger and press the "hook" again, it depends on how quick ur fingers are.. mine's quite big n meaty but they're quick..(thts why i hav a gf now..  )
