From the STTNG rules(thanks Cameron):

Combos
------
  There is only really one combo in this game, but it's so amazingly
cool, I decided to give it a whole section! The Picard Maneuver is the left
orbit, left ramp combo and get good at it!

About the above combo.  Someone told me that he saw Lyman use this
combo during Q's Challenge to get "billions" of points. Apparently
each half of the combo lights the opposite half for a Q shot.  I've
tried and tried this and the most I have ever done was a measly three
Picard Maneuvers in a row.  Maybe I'm too old for this(hint: I was born
the same year as my only pin, the first flipper machine Humpty
Dumpty).  Any of you youngsters able to consistently hit this shot. I
realize I will never be close to Lyman, but there must be some hint on
how to hit the left ramp. Sometimes I hit the ramp but it only goes
half way up. Does how hard or how fast you push the flipper button
affect the speed of the ball. I always assumed it was just an on/off
switch like my old machine, but when I release the switch quicker 
it seems to make the ball go faster.
