The wireform might be nice and tight, but that doesn't mean it's aligned correctly.
My TZ used to have issues with the diverter not even activating, let alone dropping the ball properly. After some investigative tweaking and screw turning, I found that it was in a bind and out of proper alignment. Once I relieved that tension, got it into a nice set position, then locked it down there, the diverter has grabbed and dropped the ball perfectly every time since then.
Mine also has the magnet mod. It's a must, especially for my game since it's so fast. It really traps that ball in there well.
