Getaway: High Speed II, The
Williams, 1992Does anyone have advice on how to prevent the ball from bouncing out of the tunnel shot? It's supposed to lock in there, but about 1/3 of the time it bounces right out the side without sticking. It happens most often with a really clean shot that goes in there with a lot of speed.
There is supposed to be a blue rubber in the back. It shouldn’t be just steel. Atleast that how mine is.
Quoted from nocreditdot:There is supposed to be a blue rubber in the back. It shouldn’t be just steel. Atleast that how mine is.
that's definitely the major cause of the issue. the blue rubber deadens the balls dramatically.
thorly sorry for the poor pic, but that needs to be on there... i think this one will do the trick

White wood glue - some clamps - time - sanding and possibly a little body filler - more sanding - apply several coats of clear as final finish and protection.

You can put a hole guard on it after repair
Padding seems to have resolved the issue. It still pops out every now and then, but I assume that's normal. Much improved. Thanks everyone.
As far as repair goes, the glue and clamps to stop the separation makes sense, but I've never used body filler to rebuild an edge like this. What is the recommendation for such a high impact area? All purpose wood filler? wood bondo? PlasticWood? An epoxy like JBWeld KwikWood?
