I recently just purchased a nib jp premium and have noticed that the plunger and auto plunger does not launch the ball good enough to make the u turn to the right ramp. I have found that it only makes it about 1 out of every 20 attempts. It has become quite a nuisance since it makes it almost impossible to attempt the skill shot. Is this a universal problem? Any tips on how to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks

The plunger and auto plunger hitting the ball good ? Center for plunger, evenly spaced on ball left and right for auto plunger.

I had that problem on my BKSOR, All I had too do is bend the two metal pieces that hit the ball. Bend them in to make that space smaller. So you get more force behind the ball. Mine spread out over time.

Thanks for the tip. They both appear to be centered and hitting the ball evenly. The plunger works far better than the auto plunger as that seems to miss much more often.

Thanks for advice. I may try to see if that will help.

Did bending it work? I played with the power and turned it up a bit and that seemed to help. Now it misses once every two games or so. I may try to bend them and see if that helps. I read some people are adding washers to the fork but I’m not sure how that works. How do you know which side to add it to?
