After receiving my brand new Mandalorian Premium after about 100 plays it started to feel like EVERY shot that travels down the left orbit is an instant dump.

I have tried many different launch strengths (even though it feels the same on regular flipped shots) as well as checking the playfield for any debris, nothing.

Is there an adjustment that I can make to this lane to redirect the ball away from the “right down the middle” dump.

Thank You!

I’m not too familiar with this title, but if it’s a metal ball guide, there should be a screw holding it in place at the end. Unscrew, while pushing the ball guide slightly, retighten.

This is absolutely correct. I had to do that to my new premium. Left orbit ball guide needs to be pushed out far and tightened fully. No issues now. Ball guide should come out to the right past the post like this.

If you don’t mind sharing, How exactly did you adjust this?

Thank you!

You have to unscrew the screws on the “targets light hunter” plastic and then under it you’ll see a bracket near the end of the metal ball guide. Loosen it and press the ball guide as far to the right of the post as you can. Holding it in that position, use a ratcheting screw driver to screw it down just as far as you can. This is key. I also turned down my flipper power a bit-to 245 for left and right, so that bricked orbit shots don’t hammer the end of the rail.
