Joined the club this week with a premium. I've had the ball get stuck just below the pop bumpers a few times, in the dip between the wire gate and the rubber that runs under the ramp. I'm used to balls getting stuck in pop bumper areas on sterns ( especially Star Trek! ), a little nudge or wait for ball search normally works but isn't working on JP as the ball isn't resting against a pop bumper. Is this a common issue?
Quoted from Flynnyfalcon:Thanks 2MH. Your pics definitely helped solve the issue. My ball guide had a slight lip at the end, which wasn't noticeable until you take into account the shape of the plastic above. My ball guide followed the path of the plastic whereas yours dropped down, meaning your ball path was lower. I haven't been able to correct it completely, but I've bent it to the point that it no longer hits the truck when hitting the right orbit!! Win!!
So I've fixed the right orbit to correctly miss the Truck. The S shot now deflects properly to the left sling/flipper. I have also stuck down the metal flap (which seemed to be sitting too high) on the tower shot making a much smoother arc, meaning less bricked shots. The plunger is still a little hit and miss, I might still fiddle with this.
But these changes alone have made an incredible improvement. My average scores over the last 6 months were getting worse and worse, sitting in the 35-95 mill range, now I'm getting back into the groove shooting 150-250+ regularly. Shots and combos are much easier to hit, SDTM's are far rarer and the game just seems to flow. Such an awesome pin!!!
Thanks all for your help.

My ball guide is exactly like yours, I've been planning on straightening it out a little on the end for a while but not because of the way the ball exits the right orbit, but because I believe it's making the inner loop shot much harder than it should be, it's narrowing the opening into the loop. I've never had a machine where the inner loop is that hard to hit! Seriously I can hit the Tron Gem shot more often than I can hit this loop on purpose.
Quoted from Flynnyfalcon:I bent mine only a manner on millimetres. Is it possible your upper flipper is misaligned?
I don't think so, if you make a line from the end of that inner loop ball guide to where the last bit of that guide is aiming it's not aiming at the flipper but above it. I'd say the opening into the loop on mine will gain about 1/8" if I straighten it out. That may not be a lot but on a tight shot I need all the help I can get 
.
I'll check the alignment too though.
