This might totally be normal and I'm just paranoid, but I've noticed my (new to me) STTNG's trough launcher is pretty aggressive about chucking the ball up into the shooter lane. The ball makes a noticeable THUMP against the side of the cabinet. I see there is an extra wood block there and I don't see any major wear.

But is that something I should be concerned with? Or is there a way to adjust that so it's not quite so RAWR!?

I was looking for a Cliffy for the side side of the shooter lane where the ball seems to strike coming out of the trough and I didn't find one. So I assume this is normally a non-issue, but wanted to check just the same.

Thanks!

Here's a quick video. Silly iPhone recorded it in the wrong rotation so it make look the wrong way when viewed (YouTube is taking forever to rotate the video) but should give you an idea either way:

When I recorded it, it didn't sound as bad as it normally does, so maybe I am just being paranoid But it's not something I ever really noticed with any other pins (including another STTNG I've played). Maybe I wasn't listening for it
