Does anyone have a good solution to the left wireform? I've tried a few setups to corral the ball, but I keep getting hopovers.

Has anyone tried bending or adding a bumper or guide of some sort?

Surprised this isn't' mentioned more as an issue. Maybe a Pro thing only?

So I found out my answer after investigating further. The lower support on this wireform is wielded too high some how. It acts like a very small speed bump and causes my balls to hop over either rail probably 1 out of 3 returns, maybe more. On my last game the ball actually got stuck on it during multiball and it took a vigorous shake to dislodge it. I’ve lost plenty of balls hopping right over and into the outlane.

This was my previous attempt to corral the ball. It worked pretty well but created a bounce back effect at times.

I know a couple of you had similar, frequent issues. This might be the thing to look for. (I tried bending to correct with no luck)

Quoted from Shapeshifter:

So, I added a washer here.
Much much better. So far, haven't had a ball jump off the ramp.
Hopefully that may be enough......

This wouldn’t work for me. I tried that before I realized it was the wireform itself. Either too wide at the bottom and it makes contact with the bar below or crossbar sits too high. Regardless it can’t be corrected by bending or shimming in my situation.
