But something did change, at least where I went.

When I was a kid, I remember the ball effortlessly glided off the launch ramp into the air for the holes. Sometimes I would roll as hard as I could just to see how high it would go (into the top net and ricochet down into the scoring holes).

I recently went back and the launch ramp is like a speed bump now. The balls no longer smoothly roll and launch into the air. Instead they smack hard into the bump and lose most of their momentum and barely make it to the holes.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to actually get the ball in the highest value holes any more. The harder I roll it, the harder is smacks into the bump and it goes nowhere near the holes. Don't roll that hard, and it barely makes it over the bump.

I really hate the change and I stopped playing. It is no fun anymore.




I thought it was just me. I guess this is to make it difficult to rack up points, making it more a game of chance than skill?
