Is it just me or does the ball pop out of the trunk on a regular basis? Obviously with a fairly strong shot but it goes in the trunk and hits something and pops right back out. Is something wrong with my trunk or is this typical? Has anyone done anything to prevent this? I was thinking about a 1x1 square of sticky foam tape might give some cushion.

I tried some foam in various locations. As RobertS said in the back works really well. If the foam is too thick the ball will get stuck in a few places (not a ton of clearance) but something thin like he used should work well. I was thinking of taking it out and spraying the inside with a rubber coating but it's way down on my list.
