In response to how I lost my save, the other night my computer froze, and I did a hard reboot, when I reloaded the game, the save was gone. (I refreshed the game before this and had my save)
I've figured it out. If your last shot doesn't remove balls, your next shot will make a ball fall. If you shoot too fast, you'll keep getting missed shots, since there is a delay for the balls to pop. So dont shoot fast!
