Quoted from mulder2010:

Sometimes I have problems with the ball going 3/4 up the "ball lock" ramp, and then coming back down. I don't think the left flipper is necessarily weak (in comparison, my Tommy flippers have a little more zip to them), but a little frustrating.
Any suggestions on how to "speed" the ball up, so it goes fully up the ramp? Sometimes it just needs a little more push.
Any product I could wipe on the ramp to reduce friction?
Maybe it could be the flipper - any suggestions?

Feel the power of the wind!Great game,was my first love
and still have it 5 years later.Any way you should be able to
hit that ramp all day long.I use a torpedoe level low and high
for left to right and an Inclimeter for 6.5 degrees for drop.
Replace coil sleeve and coil stop.Check eos gap.Enjoy!
