Quoted from snaroff:

So after studying the video a bit more, I decided to adjust the wireform with the goal of keeping the ball on the rails.
As soon as the ball goes off the rails, all bets are off (the design of the wireform isn't very forgiving).
I did the following:
- shimmed the ramp up 1/8" using 2 plastic washers.
- moved the ramp ~1/4" closer to the player.
- bent the ramp up a bit by hand. Not sure I had much impact, since the metal doesn't bend easily (1/8" max).
I've played 5 games hammering the ramp and it hasn't failed once. No bounce outs or bounce ups. Before/after photos attached.
Left wireform finally playing smoothly...very jazzed
Hope my experience will help other folks having this problem Dial In their game!
