I am finish restoring a Bally Strikes & Spares and i am having a strange problem. When ball goes to the upper right hole, 99% it throws it right in the middle of the flippers and the result is that missing the ball in play. Any ideas to mod it ?

Carefully bend the arm that kicks the ball from hole. If you bend it to the right, ball goes more left and vice versa.

Sometimes you can slide the plastics slightly and change the trajectory as well. Also, different slope on playfield can affect it.

Like Tukka says though, eject arm is the main way to affect the roll.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have adjusted the arm that kicks the ball and everyting now is perfect! Problem solved. Thank you again
