Ball gets stuck on the right inlane insert

On multiple occasions, I've had the ball get stuck on the "2" insert in the right inlane. Since it's set to a fairly shallow angle, it can take a significant nudge to free the ball (although it hasn't tilted yet from any of those attempts).

    I've seen this too! What's the fix? Little plastic tape cut to fill the scoop?

    I have some insert-leveling mylar in the back that we could put on it to try to prevent that (I put them on Cleopatra to help with the ball getting stuck on those), but that's something we'd need to get Joel's approval on first.

    With Joel's permission, I put a ⅞-inch mylar circle on the Free Fall insert, and the ball doesn't get stuck there anymore. It's possible for it to hang up on the insert if you carefully place the ball on it, but it won't happen if the ball is moving at all, and it only takes a slight nudge to dislodge it.
