Problem with collisions

I'm making a mini golf type game. I'm having some issues with collisions on the walls.
Basically what happens is when the ball hits the wall at a narrow angle and the ball is moving slowing, the ball slides along the wall instead of bouncing off.
I've tried various restitution settings for both the wall and the ball, but I've had no luck. Any ideas?

thats one of the things with the physics. sometimes if the collision angle is to small it doesn't bounce off at all. Look into the block breaker demo in GS. They have some rules in there to force the ball away from the edge when it gets stuck like that but honestly im not sure if it will work for your style game. It should give you some ideas for a workaround though.
Good Luck

Gah, Yes @Tshirtbooth That is the thread as well as what i'm posting. Same one. not sure why the links are different. But on a side positive note. The search on the site works pretty well. it only took me about 10 mins to dig this baby up.
Edit:
Well actually if I had not been a retard and checked my bookmarks it was already there. LOL
Oh well at least I know for sure the forums search is better than it has ever been.
