In a competitive situation it’s definitely illegal.At your own house with your own games, then yea it’s totally fair.Your ball should end when it goes down an outlane (unless you have kickback lit).So it’s not fair that you could just put it back in play.Death saving could also hurt a machine as listed from other pinsiders above me.As for your own enjoyment at home nobody’s watching you or actually cares that you preform one.
