Medieval Madness
Williams, 1997Original Williams MM - A clean shot on the Merlin hole 75% of the time bounces out to the right orbit and doesn't register. I get the impression the left side of the ball hits on the right edge of the scoop and gets deflected right... I can't come up with a way to adjust that. Anyone had a similar issue and found the right tweak to make it stay in the hole and register the shot? Would a Cliffy help if the wood is a little worn?
Thanks in advance!

I've never played an MM that doesn't have this happen regularly, especially with a hard shot. The best solution I've come up with is some dead drop foam on the back of the scoop but that only helps a bit, still happens often enough.

Quoted from gorditas:The combo of the Mantis scoop and foam has my remake at 100% now.
Thanks for the advice - I'll get some foam and give it a shot!
