Quoted from jay:In Keith's Pinball News vid you can see balls often coming to rest on a held up right flipper from the ramp return, so it might very well be on purpose to try and keep the ball moving.
I used to feel the same way about flipper alignment and ball guides but after a few solid years of playing in tournaments I came to the conclusion that it's just another setup option that can help dial in the right balance for game time, shot difficulty, etc.
The GB that was filmed on had a massive flipper hop on the right flipper. The game on the right played much better
