Cradle Consolidation
The opposite of a Cradle Separation, this move is used during multiball to bring two balls together on the same flipper.
There are a few reasons why a player would want to do this. One is so that the player can have a flipper free to work with a third ball that is in play.
In the example below, two balls are brought together on the same flipper so that the player can use the third ball that is coming onto the playfield to make high-value warp ramp and other shots.
