I am fighting this at a local YMCA and have had little luck finding a permanent solution. The angle iron is an interesting idea however from what I was told that would interfere with the game. One of the ideas that we are floating around is to recess the heads just enough so that the cover is slightly recessed. The thinking is with the cover recessed the balls would have to make a direct hit to knock the cover off.
