There seems to be 3 categories.
1 - Stuck balls, glass needs to come off.
2 - Balls that are balancing, require a nudge.
3 - Mechanically stuck due to ball overcrowding. (Flippers, upkickers, etc)
Keep 'em coming!!

Glass off are by far the most interesting.
Quoted from Stebel:Glass off are by far the most interesting.
I love them all, the unpredictability of this world of chaos under glass that is pinball. It seems if you play any game long enough you will see something that truly defies all logic. Here was a glass off shot on a stranger things in the wild, and the nice thing about this one is the attendant through a few credits our way for the inconvenience. I just thought it was cool my sister jammed up a machine.
Spoiler, if you can't find it in the picture....
Wedged behind the rubber under the red dome, how does that happen?

Wow those pops were hopping!!
Quoted from PinPickle:Wow those pops were hopping!!
Ha! You called it, that's exactly what did it too.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Never seen this one before. Glass had to come off.

without a doubt, you're GRAND CHAMPION !!!

Had this happen recently after cherry bomb. Ball search was a no go and the flippers were dead so had to tilt it to get them free
IMG_20210929_211018630_HDR (resized).jpgQuoted from Nikrox2:Had to pull the glass off and wait for the game to move the mechanism to retrieve this one.

It got stuck here again. I ended up just putting a spare pinball in there. Hopefully that remedies the stuck ball situation.
Glass had to come off for this one. New Vector owner here. Ball wedged itself pretty good between the plastic and the glass. Let's have a closer look. Yep, it's wedged in there pretty tight. Wait a second, what is the bald guy watching on his monitor over his shoulder? Why The Addams family of course, not out of place on a futuristic, fantasy sports themed game. I love it,I can't believe I never noticed this before.

Iv had a stuck ball there also.
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:Not so much a "strange" place for a ball to get stuck; more like the norm for all the latest Sterns we've had. Too bad the game couldn't hold up as long as some Rush tunes.[quoted image]
Been to two pinball spots this week and both machines get stuck in the scoop.

Exactly. The metal is flimsy as hell and is lifting away from the playfield and jamming the ball. The tech put some glue on it last night so here's hoping it stays.
I did get this before I went home:

[quoted image]
I had the exact thing happen but I couldn't get a picture in time for Godzilla to rotate, which dislodged it.
Quoted from RipleYYY:this is the hyper-mega-super skillshot !
[quoted image]
Hah! You wish Munsters had that depth.
Finally got the Super Skillshot on my Fireball though... IMG_20220408_100051.jpg
Quoted from stefanmader:Had this happen on my homebrew today. I don't really know how it happened. I guess it jumped.
Had to take the glass off and fiddled a while to get it out.[quoted image][quoted image]
Squeezing between the targets?
Quoted from Boof-Ed:Squeezing between the targets?
no there is not enough room. the only way would be that it went up the protective plastic, or jumped to the top and fell through..
Quoted from mcmnky:So this happened tonight on my DESW during tri-ball. I left it there until the other balls drained, then a little nudge and game on!

In tournament, you'd have been disqualified
