I just picked up my second JP yesterday. When the ball exits the pop bumpers, after the initial plunge, it often drains straight down the middle. My first JP did this fairly frequently too. I suspect this is why sometimes you see the gate at the entrance to the pop bumpers reversed. My question is: Is there a playfield mod, nudging tip or something you can do to lessen how often this happens?

I know you get a ball save, but this is not very satisfying when the second plunge goes straight back into the pop bumpers too.

Quoted from Neal_W:

Is your pin level?

Thanks for the tip. Haven’t tested the level yet as I still need to move it from the garage to the games room. Seems to play true enough though.

#5787 5 years ago

I had to move the pin again and so did a check on the levels today. They are out quite a bit left to right. Will move it into the games room on the weekend and set up all the levels. Hopefully no issues after this.

Quoted from JohnJN:

I re-leveled the game from left to right and then inclined the game a bit and now it seems to either go into the pop-bumper area or loose momentum, hit the t-gate and roll back towards the flippers.

If you ball is losing momentum, perhaps check the plunger to see if it is shooting the ball straight. You can take a slow motion video with your phone. If the plunger is not firing straight the ball will hit the side wall before the bend and lose speed.

Quoted from JohnJN:

Thanks davi

7oxford - Thanks, I will check it -- is there a way to make sure its firing straight...?

If you have an iPhone put the camera in SLO-MO mode and record a plunge. Then during playback you can edit and slow down the video at the time of ball release. If the plunger is off center the ball will bounce off the walls of the channel. The video link above shows mine shooting straight.

Other phones may have a similar function.
