Gino,

Yes it's normal. I'm not sure of the actual "rule" here but mine definitely does the same thing.

Gino, voici une partie d'un post sur RGP:

------------------------------
> > What is fathom's gameplay flaw?

> ball relocking during multiball - I understand there's a romset that has
> different objectives during multiball haven't played that one yet.

Actually i think the re-lock is brilliant. it punishes you for making
a shot you are supposed to avoid. Then have to use skill to release.
makes it so you can't just flail during multiball.
------------------------------

Donc le relock est une règle normale. Ca fait partie de la stratégie..

Oui, tu ne doit pas relocker la ball pendant le multiball, ce sont des pièges !! Sinon tu doit shooter les 3 targets de la couleur correspondante sur le six bank targest et en plus tu pers le 2X ou 3X selon le cas.

Merci tous le monde

Je comprend mieux maintenant, je ne savais pas que l'on perdait le bonus multiplier en plus!  A éviter!

That's what mine does.  I believe that's part of the multiball strategy I read somewhere ~ lock up one of the balls ( in the cave trap ) to maintain better control, then after losing one of the other 2 balls, unlock the cave trap ball and resume 2-ball play.
