Re: Ball 3 inch under

I believe, on our final machine, our roller will keep the ball from going in more than 2.75". After this we plan on having a hard stop 3" into the frame perimeter to eliminate any possibility of a ball ever going in too far.

Theoretically, if you're looking for something cheap, easy, and light-ish, you could use a piece of plywood as a hard stop. This would eliminate any questions about intrusion.
