Boston, MA
I just installed my Color DMD and wanted to take my TAF for some runs. Well this happened on ball 1. Nothing to do with the install but got me thinking where have others gotten their balls stuck? Pics are a must.

A saw a ball get slammed between the drop targets on de Simpsons once.. Insane. It got trapped behind there.. Was also a chore to get it out.

Quoted from scriptpirate:I know it did this just to tease me.
That's hilarious!
Quoted from tim_sanderson:Saw the same thing on the same game.
Wow really got stuck like that just crazy

It wasn't actually from game play. There were two locked balls when a game ended. When it released them, they did their best 'Three (two?) Stooges & a doorway impression'. It definitely warranted a photo.
Quoted from Geocab:General Yagov kickback did this. Was a pain in the ass to get out because when i started to slide the glass the ball would roll with it and get wedged more.
I've actually done that on my F-14. Usually it just goes over the front on the apron and in the shooter lane. I moved mine to the lowest setting.
No pics because I'm at work, but on my TAF, I get that one behind the left sling rubber and, more often than that, the launch and landing behind the upper leaf switch and/or the flasher dome on the bear kick ramp. It happens so often that I'm going to teach my brother proper glass removal technique so if he comes over to my place to play while I'm gone, I'll feel safe with him removing the glass and not shaking the machine apart to get it down.

Quite possible... air ball wedged between the top of the flipper and the glass. Big bang and WTF..

AFM and HS I have had the same things as pictured above. Ball did not stick but last night on RBION I shot the left ramp so hard that when it returned to the inlane it did not fall in the hole but instead went halfway up the wire form to the right just past the B in ABC for playfield bonus then came back and fell in the hole. This is probably the farthest I have ever had a ball travel after a quick flipper return.
Quoted from smassa:Had to take care of this a few nights ago.
Same thing happened alot on my TRON LE. Ball gets wedged behind drop targets and the rubber ring.

Yep, MrWizzo was playing my Card Whiz and the same thing happened. I think he snapped a picture with his phone.
Quoted from mantz88:How about on the edge of mylar.
Adjust the slope of your game, crank it all the way!
Quoted from BowlingJim:just now
I had that one happen on one of the first games I played, but hasn't happend since.

I hear they got some major BSTL happenin down under
Wedged to the point the glass would not slide out. We had to pull TZ away from the wall so we could lift up the front and shake the ball loose. 12+ yrs, 10,000+ games played and this is by far the craziest place the ball ever landed.
