Just installed the Skillshot Optimizer from Freddy's Pinball Parts. 100% fix for me, perfectly smooth skill shots...All 20 of the first 20 balls plunged were clean, not a single rattle!
I had already made adjustments to shooter rod and a side to side playfield adjustment so rod tip rubber was perfectly aligned with the ball but still rattled behind Mecha half the time. Now I can make consistantly clean skill shot attempts, short plunges behind Mecha are also smooth the ball rolls halfway up behind Mecha and smoothly rolls back down. I am truly amazed how effective the Skillshot Optimizer fix is.
