After a few months on my Star Trek Pro getting fairly consistent flow to the Warp ramp, I am now getting the hop once the ball starts going too fast. I have tried the adjustment prescribed by Steve Ritchie and moved the ramp left, right, forward and back. I am still unable to fully resolve the problem. The ball flows fine on slow and moderate shots, but once the speed gets going too fast, it seems to hop. I have also lowered the coil pulse power, but that hasn't helped. I am wondering if the Warp ramp is (well) a bit warped. It may be angling the ball up a bit on exit. It does seem to wiggle a bit up and down when I grab it from the back, but I can't seem to adjust the angle of the exit point at all.

Anyone have this problem and know what to do? Thanks in advance!

Evening bump.

I think I finally fixed it. I pushed the ramp all the way back to the right. I may not have been pushing it far enough before. In any event, I am back to fairly consistent flow.

Well, I'm still having some issues. When the ball gets enough speed, it hits the tip of the triangular plastic next to the shooter lane. This only happens occasionally, but it is what made me start moving the ramp to the left in the first place. However, moving the ramp to the left causes the ball to hit the ball guide at an awkward angle and bounce. Where it is now seems to be the best performance I can get, but it isn't perfect, and I'm out of ideas. Judging by the dearth of comments in this thread (other than my own), I'm guessing no one has any other ideas. Or, just no one cares.

Thanks! At least I know I'm not the only one. I was wondering if it is a speed thing, and perhaps I could slow down the ball somehow, maybe with some felt tape at some point on the Warp ramp. . . . Anyway, let me know if you try the washers and if they work. I'm worried that raising the exit will just send the ball airborne more. What I need it to do right now is drop more quickly, I think.

Just posted in that thread for others looking for a conclusion (somewhat) to this saga.

Can you post a picture? Did you have to remove the left ramp to get the felt on?
