No Good Gofers
Williams, 1997On my NGG it shows the skill shot as trying to kit the left target on the left side. I noticed that if I smack the handle really hard to lauch the ball instead of pulling it back I can get the ball up the left ramp to drop the hole in one ramp. Is my spring weak and not allowing the ball up the left side or is it not supposted to do go there and I am forcing it? Anybody know?
If you are wondering, I have to smack it hard enought that I do not like to do it often.
The spring in your plunger shoot be strong enough to get the ball up the ramp and try for a "hole in one" skill shot. No smacking required (this could damage your plunger or bend the rod, as with anything too much force is never good).
My NGG has a spring a bit like the one in TOTAN or TZ - I always call them "soft springs". If I pull it out almost full it will often make the ramp. Pull out half and it will take down the drop target. It really takes some skill so I guess it's the correct spring for a skill shot. 
Sounds like my spring is "shot" no pun intended, but had to leave it. Looks like another issue to fix. One of the problems with having multiple machines. I know it is a terrible problem and many of you would take machines to help me out. I will just have to live with the problem.
On NGG you should be able to plunge the ball up the left ramp. Make sure you have the correct shooter spring (10-148-1, Medium-High). Also you can adjust the metal rail on the right side of the shooter lane to get a clean shot at the ramp. You adjust it from underneath.
Copy, I think I will order a new spring to see if it is stiffer than the one installed now. My guess is that the current spring is weak. You guys confirmed my suspicions.
SealClubber is the closest guy I know to me. He would probably beat you guys to them if they were to ever go.
Oh, I better be the first person you call if you decide to sell. Especially the Gofers. 
And I will double, no wait, triple what you paid for them. lol.
