BDK-balls won't stick

I apologize up front that I haven't pulled the glass to look at the problem first but it would seem a common issue and wondering what other pinsiders have done.

Most of the hard shots up the left orbit no longer stick in the upper right hole above the rollover lanes. The game doesn't have that much play where I would expect excessive wear but it worked fine out of the box so something has changed.

Thanks for any ideas.

I found that when I placed a blue bumper pad on the underside of the metal hood, it would drive the ball downward and make it stick at the saucer.

Some people use drop dead foam etc.

Good luck.
