The kicker feels fine, no resistance at all. The guys at Childs told me to bend the pin becasue they get out of allignment. It seems like it is kicking out with too much power making the ball bounce back. I have tried adjusting it, but nothing.

I bent mine, it helped most of the time but I had to resort to sticking a 3mm wide x 20mm long strip of mylar beside the kickout (well actually 2 pieces one on top of the other) this solved the problem for me and is not noticeable.
The only other alternate in to go for a less powerful coil
