I had to replace the IR sensors for the skill shot, that went fine. Trying everything out I notice now that when the solenoid hits the 8 ball, the 8 ball hits the top of the glass on it's way to target. I dont recall this being an issue before but I'm not sure. The only two things I think it could be is either the pitch of the game needs adjusted or the pitch of the kicker got displaced during repair, but I'm not sure that's possible because of how its mounted to the motor. Before I start taking the machine down again I figured I'd see if any of you have any insight on my problem. Thank you

Is the tip of the solenoid that hits the ball worn oddly? ...or perhaps not striking the ball dead center or slightly high? If it is low I could imagine that it might pop the ball up. I assume you have already checked the skill shot ball tray for any issues there. Is there perhaps a spacer or something that goes under the solenoid to raise it? It's been a while since I had a Cue Ball Wizard. Just trying to think of things to look at.

Check where the plunger strikes the ball as well.
