You left ball guide is too long. That can be fixed with not too much effort.

Your right guide looks like it is sitting too low and too close to the flipper and might cause some flipper hop. I had flipper hop on one of my pins and figured out a way to relocate the hole for the guide. Its is easy to do. If you are interested, I can show you how to move the right guide a little higher and away from the flipper.

If the ball guide was just a little bit shorter, then the flipper would not be pushing into the flipper rubber.

Flipper hop, or ball hop, happens when a ball guide is located incorrectly at the factory. If the ball guide is sitting below the heel of the flipper you will get flipper hop. This is from one of my pins. The flipper hop was enough that it was hard to get a good hit on the ball. This kind of action is of no problem to the operator because he just wants your coins. He does not care if the pin is not set up for optimal playing.

This is my left flipper. All was well.

This is my right side. When the ball rolled down that guide it would hit the flipper rubber and bounce.

To fix the hop problem I took a piece of plexiglass and drilled a hole in it. Then I placed the guide into the hole and pushed it up to the wood block to locate the guide correctly. I placed the guide just a little bit above the heel of the flipper so I would get a smooth roll from the guide to the flipper. With guide now positioned correctly I taped the plexiglass to the play field and removed the guide. Then I drilled a new hole. I incorrect hole was filled with wood dowel and touched up with black paint.

If the left pic, you can see where I drilled the new hole using the plexiglass as a guide.

But if you don't have any flipper hop what I wrote above does not apply to you.
