[QUOTE="Worf, post: 39861, member: 1047"] I believe for Funhouse, you need to score 0 points on the ball for the saver to activate. Or very little. It's hard not to notice, Rudy says 'You can have it back". But yeah, the savers on later pins are much more generous, probably because with the complexity of newer SS ones, it's possible to plunge the ball, have it hit a few targets, then get shot SDTM or to the outlane without any player involvement or chance to intervene. Certainly had it happen a few times on some tables - hits the jets, flies SDTM without doing a thing. Also why I like Williams tables over everyone else's - the ball saver timer doesn't start until after the ball gets released. I've had plays where I got super jets before the ball came down - it just kept rattling around. A regular ball saver would've long expired. A williams saver wouldn't - it doesn't start until the ball rolls down. (Williams also stops timers for stuff like animations and where the player doesn't have control of the ball, and they give a 1-2 second grace after the timer expires in case you JUST made the shot as the timer expired.
