I took off the glass tonight, and shot a bunch of balls up the left ramp, and watched closely as it made its way down to the wireform just to bounce off at the end and often land right in the drain. What appears to be happening is that the ball is hitting the the end of the rail on the left side, and because it is a bit low, it just rockets right off the edge, or deflects onto the other side. So as you'll see in the image, if you raise left top rail, you will create a barrier that it can't hop, and it will give your ball only the option of dropping into the hole as it should.

Be careful. I did mine with a little frustration in me, and ended up peeling off some of the plating with my pliers. I am expecting a replacement from JJP, so hopefully they can take my notes and make the adjustments for me.

This should be a permanent fix, so please get back to me if you try it, and let me know how it works out.

Cheers

Quoted from boostedskex:

I am still having this problem with my game. If the ball doesn't bounce off of the ramp it hits the end of the ramp and goes back up the ramp a an inch or so. I have watched videos of many other DI's and I see most balls drop in the hole as soon as it gets there. Mine is playable but really frustrating. I have leveled, tweaked and tried every other trick I have seen people post about without a resolution. Should I contact JJP about this?

It's the wireform itself. I altered mine as a test, and pretty much corrected it. If I had the right tools, I could adjust it to play as it should in the games you've watched.

Mine also bounces back a bit before dropping into the hole, and it disrupts the flow of the game in my opinion.

Even with that plastic cover, I'm certain this will still happen. It just will not longer bounce out.

I'm awaiting a new wireform from JJP, and hope it will be right this time. They're also sending me the plastic cover.
