    Default Odd center devices

    Picked up this machine for a friend today and the center device is pretty cool.

    Enter the middle green flap and it closes and opens the two green flaps beside it. Enter one of them and they close, opening the center green flap again.

    Problem is, how does the ball make it to the center???

    The entrance pocket immediately above the center green entrance just goes into the machine. It doesn't feed the ball to the green flap


    Another odd aspect is this lower hole has an open window beneath it that technically would feed to the same shoot, if there was any way for the ball to enter. Why put that there?

    There is no way a ball can travel laterally for 1.5 inches to make that center green hole.

    I would disagree with this, I have seen the balls go sideways half or better of the field.

    Try loading it up and play a bit, you may be surprised and hit that 3 comic center

    on a bounce it can and will.. with a little adjustment of the surrounding nails it would increase the odds exponentially
