I picked up a Rollergames this week. Cleaned it up and put new rubber on, leveled, etc. Slope is at 6.5 degrees. I don't have experience with this game, so those that do hopefully can answer this question. At 6.5 degrees of slope, should the upper flipper be able to make the wall shot every time it's held by the magnet? I'm probably successful 40% of the time when held, but can hit it many times when it's not held and just "passing through". Wondering if I need to look over the flipper or this is normal.

Quoted from beauimpala:

I took it out and smoothed off the groove. Readjusted to the proper height and I was making that shot once again everytime.</blockqu

The problem I had with mine at one time was the magnet post had a groove worn into it. I took it out and smoothed off the groove. Readjusted to the proper height and I was making that shot once again everytime.

There is a little wear around the magnet so maybe it's sitting too low. The flipper seems to have decent power as I can make the wall shot if timed right going through the loop.

Thanks for the pointers guys, I figured it should be almost a sure thing when held by the magnet.

Looking at the base of the ramp both holes where the screws hold it down are broken, so I'm thinking that is the problem.
