For those that have the game, that left lock can be tricky. Sometimes you can block the ball from draining by sticking the left flipper up, some other times, it will go right down the drain after it kicks it out. Can anyone confirm this as well? Looks like the table is level from what I've checked.

Seems to be ok. You do have to kind of catch the ball with the left flipper when it kicks out (left lock). Same for yours?

Just watched this and it kicks out about the same now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9T6s187HmK0#t=135

Seems like you have to have the flipper up to prevent a drain.

I've seen this a few times too. Definitely have to do some tactical nudging sometimes. Love the game though. Can't put it down. Play it a lot more than my T2 and that's still my favorite game.
