Has anyone had this problem? It seems as if the spinner is obstructing the ball and slowing it down a lot. It's difficult to get the ball all the way around the orbit.

When the spinner is in a resting position it is angled slightly so that the bottom edge is closer to the flippers than the top edge. When the ball goes through, the bottom edge seems to come into contact with the ball and take a lot of speed off it.

I've seen this when the wrong size rubber ring was installed up near
The pop bumpers, if it sticks out too far it eats up all of the momentum from the ball.

Check and make sure your spinner isn't bent. Mine was, and it did as you describe. Straighten with needlenose pliers and you should be good to go.
