[QUOTE="Zaphod77, post: 183195, member: 2101"] specifically a house ball is one that never gets to touch a flipper. if the ballsaver gives it back it's not a house ball unless a) you didn't touch it the first time b) you also fail to touch it with a flipper after it's saved and it drains again. House balls were VERY common on EM machines, though they can happen on any table with no ballsaver that feeds the bumpers. Twilight zone's skillshot to bumpers to left outlane would count because it never touched a flipper (but you can avoid it by a full plunge) Lawlor games always provide at least one option for you that prevents house balls. Banzai run. make the skillshot and go to the upper playfield. Earthshaker. full plunge and feed a flipper WHirlwind. full plunge and feed the upper flipper. Funhouse. plunge to the upper flipper or the skillshot, or weak plunge to the inlanes (you will get the ball back if that drains) Addams family. make the skillshot which feeds the upper flipper, or soft plunge to the swamp, which feeds lower right flipper. Twilight Zone. full plunge Road SHow: plunge the souvenir skill shot. Monopoly. dice roll skillshot feeds upper flipper cleanly. Ripleys' believe it or not: make the skillshot. [/QUOTE]
