I picked up a pro and I am having a ton of center drains from the magnet and the u turn shot next to building. My game is level and pitched correctly. The magnet will hold the ball and when it releases it, it will swing down and fly straight down the middle a few times? The u turn shot is just as bad, about 2 out of 5 shots the ball goes straight down the middle?

And a game logic question if anyone knows. I changed out my wireforms for something else I made and as a result the ramps now drop the ball opposite of the originals. Should I switch the wiring on the lane switches to match? Not sure if it matters? I made the change as I just did not like the circled wireform visually. And I do like the open playfield look a bit better.

Heres a quick video showing new ball travel. I know it switches on premiums, but the pro’s are static and thats my logic question.
Thanks.

My logic question is directed at the games reading of switches. Meaning does the game need to see ramp entrance shot made followed by the lane switch at the end of that ramp. If it does that would be the only reason I would switch the two lane switches at the bottom(wiring). If it only needs to see ramp entrace shot made then it is fine. Thats all nothing more. The premiums alternate the ball drops with the building, that is also why I thought it might only use the made switches. Hopefully that explains what I was asking. In the end all I am doing is modding my own machines look for myself as that is something I enjoy doing.

Thanks. That is the answer I needed. I will leave the swiches alone, thanks for pointing that out. I can always make another set with routing to the original flipper return drop. I will go that way on the next set. I just really wanted the circle part eliminated. I would not alter a premium as those machines are as they were designed to be, but the pros are stripped out cost cutting machines that the designer has to find compromising solutions for pricing. There is a difference.

I can just make a different transition plate under the building roof to correct the ball drop. I will do that and it will be back to correct lanes on drops. Thanks for explaining it.
