When you attempt to control the natural laws of physics... physics win. No primitive human mind can out smart anything nature throws at us. Although, we have the arrogance to believe we can.

Perfectly centered on lane guide to get stuck against glass. I guess the ball thought Target Alpha has a ramp!

this one is a "classical", but a bit special here, because it happends after GAME OVER, the 2 balls were locked under the truck & than released...

Haggis Fathom. Got this one jammed right in there. I guess the plastic protectors make the glass too close. Struggled to get the glass of. Mush have been a perfect shot to get it jammed in there.

2 balls into the mirror at once got stacked. I thought a third ball rolling down the trough from the skill shot hole would knock them out, but that just got stuck as well. Couldn't shake them loose and had to take off the glass in the end.

There's a plastic protector that's supposed to guard against just that spot - looks like it snapped off!

I could not pull the glass out because the ball would roll and put great pressure on it.
Ended up folding a piece of paper many times and pushing it to the shooter lane.
