[QUOTE="JefferyD, post: 139899, member: 2597"] Every table I play has a notable example of this flaw -- certainly it is a design problem having nothing to do with my ability (ha) -- but the one that popped first into my head is Ball and Chain. I can fill it up -- left ramp, right ramp, left ramp, right ramp, miss, cradle, left ramp, right ramp -- and get it started in less than ten shots, but when the music starts and she's coming down the aisle I invariably choke with authority. Usually it's off the post and slam-dunked down an out lane with only one or two frying-pan slams for my troubles. Have I ever completed Ball and Chain on purpose and without some random multi-ball play involved? I don't recall having had that moment of satisfaction, which I'm sure would have been among my happiest. If you put me in a room full of monkeys and a room full of Monster Bash tables, all of the monkeys would get Ball and Chain before me. And they if hurried over to their typewriters and started pounding out sonnets while I labored away, they'd all be published poets before my Bride gets her microphone. [/QUOTE]
