I swear, the stars must be in total alignment for me.  First a massive high score on Family Guy in Balm beach, now a new personal best on my Stern NBA.

Default settings, exits set to medium width, and five ball setting, max. 2 extra balls allowed (this is a family setting and I am too lazy to keep changing the ball # and exits back and forth all the time.)  Officially I made about 370 mil. at the end of ball three, but it was ball four that just would not stop. Completed NBA finals(wizard mode) twice in the same game.

One more thing of note, this was the first game I played after replacing the worn out basket magnet.  It's amazing how well this game plays when there is no more misfires from a worn out magnet.

5 ball setting immediately takes away bragging rights  

You shouldn't have ever told your family that the machine can be set to more than 3 balls
