Struggling with my TOTAN. Got the game playing great except when I land in the orb shot. When the kicker fires - it sends the ball straight down the middle about 90% of the time. Totally frustrating. I've tried loosening and readjusting the kicker bracket under the playfield to offset the hit on the ball but there really isn't any slop there so doesn't seem to have any effect. Anybody else run into this and fix?

I've got similar problem to a lesser degree on Bazaar kickout, but need to look deeper into that one.

Thanks guys. I shimmed the purple ball holder from underneath - no success.

I slightly bent and shifted over the arm. It is now rubbing against the groove in the ball holder so I wouldn't be able to move it over further if I wanted. It is marginally better - maybe works 25-30% now, but still not great.

Just seems like a design issue where the kickout arm is pushing straight at the flipper gap. To adjust further I would need to really bend the arm and then cut out the slot on the cradle - not exactly something I want to do.
