Don't want you to misunderstand the problem Marty and go to a lot of trouble. The popper works 100%. It's just shooring for it, the ball will most times hit it and roll outs/bounces off than sit in/lock in and wait to be ejected out. I get the odd shot that does the same on the other hole, but this usually happens when you do a really hard/fast shot the this closer hole.

So in short the ball tends to bounce off the hole more times than not. Thanks
