I don't believe it is designed to require a dead on shot from the right flipper but a shot from the left flipper to the right edge I would not expect to register for that shot. I do like the fix/modification idea. From the GOT's I've played it does seem as though that shot is inconsistent as some games are pretty easy to register and others will take a dead on power shot and still not register. Good idea for how to improve on those that may not work as well as they should.

Wow, this thread turned fast.

Guess we should add a 3rd contender to this possible fix. Don't recall whom did the mod but someone just put some drop dead foam on the target that the ram hits and put a new decal over the foam. Looked like it worked good too.

Several ways to resolve this issue apparently.

Have you looked at the mech? On the pro, it's literally 2 screws that hold it on after you remove the top plastic.

Take the 5 mins and remove it from your game. Make sure that the slide is clean and that the wheels are not stuck (seems to be a common problem). Put it back in and enjoy a properly working ram. You may need to adjust the switch sensitivity too
