Re: Balls bouncing out of goal

I also noticed this but it has to do with the way the balls are shot. If the balls are shot too fast the chains gain more inertia and force the balls back out of the goal. If the ball has too much spin in any certain direction it will skip on the chins and wither fly up into the goal or down. If the ball flies up it then falls down out of the goal because of the slanted face of the goal. If the ball flies down it has a greater retention rate but it may still bounce off the platform in the goal and come out. A soft shot into the goal with little spin would be ideal, but then the problem then becomes getting the ball to the goal. These where just my observations from the regional mixed with some physics knowledge. With the amount of shooters that were blatantly shooting over the muzzle velocity, i could see why may shots where falling out.
