+1 this. While reducing strength will help, it'd be very hard to develop a way that completely eliminates the possibility of boulders falling out. Our shooter this year was fairly weak yet we had a few problems with balls bouncing out of the high goal. A boulder bouncing out of the high goal in this match costed us the quarterfinals.
