Quoted from vid1900:

Over the years, some owner before you may have switched the guides.

Using a small Rat-tail file or a Dremel, elongate the holes so you can properly align the guides to the flippers.

It only takes a second to do it right.

This is great advice. The only way to eliminate the hop is to physically move the ball guides, and the only way to move them is to enlarge the holes.
