This advice is wrong. This is the fix...
1. Remove the metal stop bracket from behind the mode start hole.
2. Add dead foam to the back of the metal that is a few inches back of the mode start whole.
The ball will go past the hole, hit the dead foam and drop back into the mode start in the exact same way as on Getaway. It's the only real fix. Bending the stop bracket only equals a marginal improvement. Same with lowering the mode hole plastic. With this fix you'll end up with a 90%+ success rate with the mode start.
