    description
    Left kickback lanes are [[gameplay-feature:kickback-lanes]] cut into the left flank of the playfield — a channel of their own, with a kicker at the bottom that throws back any ball running down it. What separates the arrangement from a [[gameplay-feature:left-outlane-kickbacks]] is where the kicker lives. There it is fitted inside the outlane, rescuing a ball on its way out of play; here the lane is a route the designer has cut for it, and being kicked back out is what the lane is for. The two often share a playfield with the other left-side devices: *[[title:airborne-avenger]]* (1977, [[manufacturer:atari]]) puts a kickback lane down its left side and a [[gameplay-feature:detour-gates]] in the outlane beside it.[1] The fitting is a long-lived one, running from woodrail machines such as *[[title:rag-mop]]* (1950, [[manufacturer:williams]]) to *[[title:whirlwind]]* (1990), and its high-playfield form is the [[gameplay-feature:upper-left-kickback-lanes]].
