Quoted from Rarehero:

Hey guys, just got a Hobbit ...the ball likes to fly off the wire form on the right (as it whips around under the book). Has anyone worked out a physical tweak to prevent this, or is it merely a matter of dialing in the flipper strength?

I had this same issue and after turning down the flipper strength to the point where it would no longer fall off the rail, I could barely make the shots up the ramp. JJP ended up sending me a new wire form and I could see that the new one hugged the ball a little tighter than the old one around that curve.
